Tax, I do know what I am talking about. That Argument "what to do when the wind does not blow" is the typical excuse from such who want to make People believe that it wont work so that they keep on making Money on a non profitable System: gas and coal and nuclear. All to expensive. Windernergy is the cheapest form of energy. If you put all what it does cost together. I am a lawyer. My Boss is pretty satisfied, ty
I am doing that and it is in the windfarmbusiness. I do talk part in juristical administrative procedure in ist realisation. I am sorry that you seem to be caught into sort of conservative Propaganda against windenergy. Well, just fellow what happens in Germany. Germany will proof you beeing wrong. We cannot effort expensive gas and coal or nuclear energy what is expensive AND dangerous. We go the effective way: windfarming. The wind wont send a bill, think about it. Big Investment at first, no bill after. Global warming and to depend on energy ressources we cannot effort anymore. Fukushima also: impossible to us. We do not wanna lose our small soil to nuclear poisonet outfall. To expensive. We want to sell and to do export. Sucsess sells. Germany does sell a lot, believe me. Export of windenergy rocks, coal and gas do stink. I prefer no stinky Solutions , I do prefer the modern way and believe me: It makes us rich also in Germany. I am optimistic about it anyway. Optimism is beeing american. Tax, be american ! Have a nice day, cheers
Well I'm electric engineer.It's a very good thing.Windfarms.It's just need to be researched more,and more investments.It's a future.As I say before,we always have enough wind to make it run!Maybe Fabian should open new thread about it....
Taxcutter asks: What is there to a wind turbine that more research will help? All of the components - propellor, constant speed governor, gearbox, generator, and structure are very mature technologies not likely to yield any breakthroughs. Even on the crest of the Front Range of the Rockies - America's premier wind resource - there are times the wind doesn't blow. More often it is blowing so hard the prop governor has to feather the prop to keep from having the wind blow the structure over.
We have planes,TV,cars...why we still research?We try to find out batter,cheapest,reliable solutions."More often it is blowing so hard the prop governor has to feather the prop to keep from having the wind blow the structure over." One of the reason for research.We(on my university)menage to solve this problem for hard wind...Well can you make 7 or more stators to run like one.With no oscillations?To much problems.Yes we already have this type of producing energy,but it must be more developed.
tax...far far more. You do Need the exact way of a rotor depending where you put the windmill. Like with cars. A Mercedes is a good car for Long trips on motorways. In cities, he is not hat nice. Here I would prefer a Fiat 500. To Transport stuff, may be a camion Volvo. To go on war, a german Leopard 2 (better than any Abraham Tank ever can be btw.) ...so car is not = car. For small winds Germans did invent very Special windmills, also for mountains, the sea ect ect... Than you do Need very advanced Technology to messure wind by lidar combined with a Tower, you do Need Radar instruments to Count birds, you do need exact Equipment to Transport and to masure with laser ect ect... I do not mind you at all, but you do not know a lot about it... It is absolutely normal that the wind doesn't blow sometimes. That does not matter. Than you take electricity from the falling water you at first did punp up, or from other windfarms 1000 km away where the wind did blow, or from solar... I was at the "Windenergie Tage" at Stuttgart today speaking with politicians , scientists ect...I am very tired. Germany is technically number 1 in the world. In 30 years, the windmill business will be as imoirtant as the german car Industrie. China does buy every year as much windmills as it is 50% of all german electricity Needs and the ywant more and more and more..... Windenergy is the future. Onshore and Offshore. Gas and coal are the past cheers
I will open a threat and explain very precilely what it is about. But not now. I am coming from the Windenergie Meeting ...talks with politicians here and all that...worked to much. I go sleeping. Next days... Take care
