Swords into ploughshares, no kidding! The Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas has tested a prototype of a radar-friendly turbine in the UK and found that the “stealth rotor achieved a targeted reduction in radar reflection of about 99 percent compared with standard turbines.” That’s not a small reduction.. All images by Cycle for Water Thanks to our new TreeHugger Photo Pool on Flickr , we learned about a really amazing project called Cycle for Water. Photo: Flickr , CC Wind Power is Still a Maturing Technology University of Adelaide acoustics researchers are investigating the causes of wind turbine noise with the aim of making them quieter. “Wind turbine noise is controversial but there’s no doubt that there is noise. Finding ways of controlling and reducing this noise will help us make the most of this very effective means of generating large amounts of electricity with next to zero carbon emissions.”… After a massive, violent tornado leveled their Kansas town and John Deere dealership, two brothers chose to embrace the power of wind and start a nationwide network of reliable small wind turbine dealers and service providers. The four principles of Tea ceremony-harmony, respect, purity and tranquility-are the means to a good life. A new open-source website helps consumers track where their products come from. Figure out whether a home wind turbine is right for you by evaluating land for the best wind turbine location. Our expert explains placement, turbulence, wind speed and wind site assessment. A Plowboy Interview with Donald Cooksey, the site project engineer for the NASA wind turbine generator project in Sandusky, Ohio. Mounting a wind turbine on your roof instead of on a tower might seem like a good idea, but here are some issues you should consider. |
