I wonder how many humvees it would take to make a wind turbine?
I believe a 1.5 MW wind turbine and its 200 ft tower weights 160 tons.
A google search on humvees produced the following:
A new model of a protected hummer, designed for six passengers is
currently under development at Plasan. This version is designed to
respond an IDF requirement and will be equipped with a 1.326 ton armor
suite. It will be higher than current Humvees, and will be installed
with a semi-protected firing position which could be substituted with a
remotely controlled weapon station. The total weight of the vehicle
will be 5,496 kg,
Assume 10 percent of the Humvee weight is non-steel. About 27 humvees
would have to be shredded and fed into the blast furmnace.
Its toy replica, the Hummer (nutin dumma than a humma) weighs about
8000 pounds; 20% of which is likely non-steel. So, about 50 Hummers
would have to be dumped into the blast furnace.
BRING EM ON!
