Wind Turbine Parts |
Wind turbine parts waiting to be assembled just south of Melody's brother's farm.
The towers are assembled in three sections. This one has two erected and the last one is on the ground. You can see in the background another one going up that is also two sections tall. The blades were already put together. Each balde is about 120' long. If I did my math
right, when they are moving at an average rotation of one revolution every four seconds (or 15 RPM), the tip of
the blade is going 128 mph.
Finally something makes me feel small. The generator housing is about as big as a motorhome. Blades before they are assembled. These are just across the road to the north of their farm.
