Rescheduled everything last week until next week for moving the livestock, and then today a customer calls and wants to pick up his bull today (as in...right now).  Everything was calm outside...until he called.  Since then the temps have dropped into the 30's and the wind is averaging 30mph, gusting to 45-50mph!

Un-freaking-believable!  It just won't quit this year!  This year has been the worst in the past 20 years for wind, and more relentless wind!

SMDH!

Quote:The INVELOX (short for “increased velocity”) technology uses a funnel system that captures the wind and brings it to ground-level turbines and rotors for easier and cheaper operation and maintenance (Figure 3). Its developer, Minneapolis-based SheerWind, says that the technology allows wind energy to be produced from record-low wind speeds of 2 m per second in locations close to the end user—and even on rooftops in urban areas.

Quote:The idea is so simple, so elegant, and promises to produce so much more energy at a lower cost and more efficiently, that it might just be the answer to many problems with current wind turbine technology. Aside from the lower capital investment to get started, and increased efficiency and power generation, it also might be a solution to the ever-growing problem of birds (and bats) being killed by traditional wind farms. (Yes, that is a problem)
