windmill

If your radar can't tell the difference between a windmill farm and an approaching squadron of hostiles, the problem is in the radar, not the windmill.

I mean, why would a windmill create more disruption in wind patterns than a hill of equivalent size?

I own a windmill in a shared context, but the return is about 1%, so more of a 'green' than financial argument.

Even if the efficiency is less than those of a traditional windmill, it would still make sense to use them from a cost savings perspective alone.

Last paragraph explains that more than 70% of the population is in favor of more wind energy, but many people don't like the face of large windmill parks.

Betz's law is the optimum compromise between extracting energy and sufficient airflow to keep the windmill rotating.

Then you gaze back up again and think the windmill looks grand and beautiful in comparison.

The pub and windmill are on that road, rather than at the roadless station.

If it had a pub and a windmill, I expect there was at least a jeep trail running through.

This is because if all kinetic energy is extracted, the air would no longer be moving behind the windmill, so it would stop turning.

Large aircraft use a small windmill or a ram air turbine to keep hydraulics and electrics up in case of a loss of power, though.

I'm all for using cellphone minutes as a micro currency, and rigging a windmill to generate power in the middle of nowhere.

“No words can describe how isolated this place was.” The closest road was three miles away; the only nearby structures were a shuttered pub and an old windmill.

I was expecting the technique "風車" - windmill to come up.

Windmill blades are limited in size by current materials science and requires a very large amount of high tech composites such as carbon fibre, resins and so on.
