Wind Power

Wind Power 01/04/2004 12:04 PM

New farm seen as model for future of wind energy: Here's a positive story on wind power and a new wind farm in California.

The 90 turbines at High Winds can generate 162 megawatts of electricity, enough to power about 75,000 homes, according to Florida-based FPL Energy, which owns and operates High Winds along with 30 other wind facilities in 10 states.

Seventy-five thousand homes from 90 turbines? So one turbine could power...833 homes. I know a lot of small towns around South Dakota that could benefit from just one turbine. Think about it — one turbine per small town. Energy problems solved.

I've always wanted to have a windmill powering my house. I'm not an Earth muffin or a tree-hugger or anything, but I just think it'd be cool to be self-sufficient like that. Throw in a fresh-water well and a satellite dish with broadband, and you'd be set.

Of course we all wanted the USB Sushi, but at almost a grand to get the whole set, we'd be much better off getting these wind-up toys from Office Playground—just $13 for a pack of 12. (Thanks, Bill!)

3R Solutions Mouse with Wind-Up Cable

3R Solutions Mouse with Wind-Up Cable 08/12/2004 07:44 AM

This new optical mouse from 3R (not 3M) Solutions has a wind-up cable and USB connector. With a design obviously inspired by Microsoft products, it weighs about 75g (every product released from Microsoft in the last 15 years, including their entire WebTV line, has weighed just 75g). Not much else to say, but I'd likely pick up something like this if it was also a wireless mouse at the flip of a switch somewhere. I guess that would make the wind-up part sort of pointless though, huh?

JVC "Rewind Be!" Wind-Up Cord Headphones

JVC "Rewind Be!" Wind-Up Cord Headphones 09/01/2004 01:19 PM

The Japan Victor Corporation (known to us as simply JVC) has announced some new earphones dubbed "Rewind Be!", which allow for the cable itself to be wound up inside of the housing.

Sure, you don't give a damn, especially because these are Japan only (for now). Well, these are the "world's thinnest" headphones with a wind-up cable, and they only cost about $18 USD. But I like wind-up things, so you're going to have to deal.

Wind Farm - Growing 150-ton plants in

Wind power had a record year in 2002, with 6.8 gigawatts of new power taking the combined worldwide total to 31 gigawatts. Only five years ago, 75% of that capacity was not even built yet, and the generating capacity of individual wind power turbines was a measly 150 kilowatts. Today's standard wind turbines pump out 2-3 megawatts each, and yet more powerful and efficient prototypes are already being tested. Wind power is advancing quickly, that's clear. At a recent alternative energy conference in the US, Christopher Flavin, President of Worldwatch, stated that "Wind Power is breaking into the mainstream," and that it will be "the lowest-cost electricity within the next few years." Today, so-called Wind Farms are "sprouting up" all over the world. Recent innovations have even made it possible to install the first wind power in Antarctica, where the average windspeed is more than 25 mph, and can gust to 150mph. These "fortified" windmills are smaller and shorter than the 2-3 megawatt models, however. A full-sized windmill stands more than 50 meters high, and that makes them quite difficult to construct. I visited a "growing" wind farm last year, one that was about half-way finished, and was given a tour of the site by the construction manager. What follows is a short pictorial account of my site-tour, and a description of the processes involved in changing a fallow, rocky coastline into a productive wind farm.

Hollywood? Old. Bollywood? That's soooo 2003. Make room for Nollyw ood, Nigeria's own film industry which is growing by leaps and bounds every year, and is currently worth about $45 million dollars. About 400 Nollywood films are produced every year many on a budget of around $15000 and are distributed almost entirely by VHS and VCD. The stories are very much simplistic and pulpy (check out 419 Stalk Exchange. Yes, 419 as in the email scam) but are much preferred by local residents and emigre's than the usual arthouse fair one often thinks of when talking about African cinema. Now if you'll excuse me there's a bucket of popcorn and a copy of GSM Connection waiting for me in the living room.

Mark Frauenfelder: WorldChanging has a short item about a home-use electricity-generating windsail designed by engineers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the US and the Makeyev State Rocket Center in Russia. Unlike a horizontal-axis wind turbine, this one is supposed to be quieter and less hazardous to birds. As you can see from the table below, you need a pretty brisk wind to keep even one light bulb burning.

Condition	Turbine Output (watts)	Annual KWh
<5 m/s wind	negligible	negligible
