Yea, they can also make some noise too, but it’s not that bad if you’re not too up close to it. The way I think is that is a small price to pay if we can generate a clean and reliable source of energy. I don’t think there is a way to make it safe for birds from flying into it.

Hey folks,

Love your site, and alternatives to collecting wind.

How about wind socks? Like the dam collector, but more of them?

Also, why do large wind turbines have to be so far apart? They would save space and perhaps aesthetics keeping them together, and it doesn’t seem to be too much of an issue making sure they don’t hit each other. Just asking.

Thanks,

Pat

do we not need energy efficient ways to power the car? we already heve plenty of way to make cheap efficient energy for household items. Right now people are working on electric powered cars and i was wondering if a wind powered alternator/energy creator would be a probable thing, on the top of the car wind zooms over, so make a little slot and have a helix type turbine in the trunk that would help power the electric car. sure toyota has a hybrid but Teslamotors has a fully electric sports car…would this turbine thing not act as a great intermediate to make the charge last longer?

One of the greatest advantages of Wind Energy is that it is ample. Wind Energy is also advantageous over traditional methods of creating energy, in the sense that it is getting cheaper and cheaper to produce wind energy. It may soon be the cheapest way to produce energy on a large scale.

I am in favor of the wind turbines further. There are many opportunities where they are committed, such as at sea. Since we had plenty of space and it usually blows a strong wind. The idea of street lighting does not sound bad, but can not be realized, but not enough wind blowing on the ground.

Thanks Jean Luc for reading my blog and for commenting as well. I appreciate your nice comment!

I agree – I thought that one was great. Makes good use of the wind that is often found around dams, as well.

Great post. An energy storing wind dam is excellent because it allows closely stacked turbines due to the separation attained by the ducts minimising interference. That means there is a greater turbine density or wind collection area i.e. the wind sees the wind dam as one large turbine.

Here’s another great one my Twitter friend, Michael Pata, shared with me this morning – definitely worth watching the video.
