GomesBolt - 2012-11-16 10:01 AM dws.ridesere - 2012-11-16 12:57 PM Whenever I pass the wind farms, I wonder how fast the tips of the blades are moving and how much fun it would be to hold on for a bit. Depending on the type of turbine, it could be over 200 MPH at the tip. 21 revolutions per minute max, 100 meter radius, pi R Squared, you can get the answer if you calculate it out. I did a spreadsheet once, but it's on an old computer that I don't have any more. I knew there was some math to it, but that's totally not my cup of tea. And yes, I think that would be fun...and a headrush. |

The computer says partly cloudy, 34. My cave is 70 and too bright to take a nap

Not that quote although a good one from a great movie. This was the thought I had after hanging up the phone with someone... |

63 degrees, clear sky, beautiful. I'm going to go down and find some taco truck food. Wish me luck! |

Considering they're on 80 meter towers, a 100 meter rotor radius would be digging a 20 meter trench all the way around the turbine...

Oh yeah, I just visited a wind farm not too long ago and that's almost exactly what they said (about 200 MPH for the Dutch turbine.) Someone asked, "If I stood on a cherry picker, do you think I would be able to grab the blade and hold on for a full revolution?" Sighhhh. |
