That’s great. I love this story because it shows how successful that wind/solar will be in the future. Have a look at my small wind turbine video from the Wind Storm, wicked…

well, because of …
well, because of the fairly high speed of the blades, relative to windspeed (speed of tips here idk 4-6 times windspeed i guess) all air travelling through the rotor will pass a blade atleast within say 0.2 bladelength, or 10% the rotordiameter,
if my brain serves me right ;p which aerodynamically is quite close.
the 3 blade design is a nice tradeoff between material cost, smoothness of power, noisyness, effectiveness, durability, operating envelope, etc.

People who don’t …
People who don’t work in the utility business have no understanding of how the grid works. Generation has to almost exactly match demand 24/7/365. If demand exceeds generation, you have blackouts. If generation exceeds demand, you have overload which usually leads to blackouts. That means sources of generation must be close to 100% controllable by man. Wind is 0% controllable by man, therefore it needs conventional backup 24/7/365 which then increases pollution.

Comprende?

I now realize where all this wind is coming from. It’s these Giant Fans going up everywhere!! I bet it’s these commie-alqada terrorists! They turn these fans on “High” and blow up some wind storms, tornados and hurricanes. Now that America has a muslim “green” president….he gonna blow the USA clean off the Earth!!!!

the design of that 3 fin wind turbine seems like its not taking full advantage of the wind , where as other designs would

Way back in 1894, a little girl named Madeline Crothe was skipping through the woods when a mysterious man in black snatched her. He brought her to his house, tourtered her, and starved her to death. Send this to 6 videos in the next 30 min. and you will be safe, but if you don’t… at approximately 1: 34 tonight you will wake up to see an aneorexic child holding a bloodied up knife and she will kill you
