Leading edges delaminate and increase drag until a fresh set of blades are installed. In the event of high enough relative humidity in big cold, the wind farms tend to idle the blades. That way nothing gets hurt. Nor are electrons made. A viable solution with that giant push away from combustion process for heat creating. Just switch it all to electric heat and you get to save the world.
I was reading about the super efficient homes getting built. Something like R40 walls and R80 ceilings. 2x12 framing, super air tight, triple glazed windows, but you only get a handful, so a big need for artificial lighting. Some guy was quoted that he would be able to heat the place with a pair of hair driers. Three kilowatt x 24, 72 kilowatt a day? Toss in a fridge, box freezer, lots of LED lights, induction stove and microwave, washer and dryer, humidity controls, plug in car, outdoor lighting…. $0.35 kilowatt hour. clay > On Jan 25, 2020, at 7:59 AM, G Mann via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > How do large wind mill blades preform with ice conditions? > Ice destroys aerodynamic life quickly on airplanes, with wind turbines, > you have to contend with the balance issue caused by ice as well.... > Easily, I could see a self destruct happening with strong winds and ice... > in AK.... > > Hmmm,, not a perfect world for alternate energy,,,, yet again.. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
