Think about all free energy available with solar you can drive around FREE with an inexpensive investment for your electric vehicle.The internal combustion engine is DEAD.!
Just some clever marketing going on here… Anyone familiar with wind turbines, placement, winds, and wake know these things. So flip the script, throw some buzzwords in there and AI, put yourself on the radar. Yep, at lot more to this story than this buzzword salad. But then again people believe everything they are told now like a bunch of Lemmings. Things are not as they seem here. LOL
Sam great reporting as always – I really don’t know where you find all this incredible info – but I’ve noticed that your audio levels are quite low, especially compared to other channels on here, so you might want to boost your mic levels a bit 😊
I stopped after 10 seconds…Saaaam, where is your white shirt ????
More wind power to make green hydrogen. 👍
Interesting . Air is like water just not as dense . So it makes sense that the air and wind is disrupted by up wind turbines in a farm . I have a big farm near me . I would tell my kids when they were young on windy days that they turned on the windmills to give us a blow .
This solution is not new. Siemens Gamesa launched a software solution named WakeAdapt which does this.
Here in Texas we lead the United States in wind energy production. I have seeing that the majority of the wind farms are aligned along ridges facing where the wind hits all of them head-on without interfering with each other already. Apparently this wake turbulence problem at the farm in India was accidentally designed in.
You did get me thinking about increasing output though. And it hit me that possibly stringing wires along the surface of the wind turbine blades to generate electricity by the effect of solid-state. Wind blowing across bare wires can generate electricity to be stored in batteries and this would add a boost to the generating capacity of every wind turbine already in existence.
Just a thought….. 🤔
How much energy is removed from weather fronts? If energy is removed and wind speed drops what are all these millions of turbines doing to world weather YOU DON'T GET POWER FOR FREE.
The length of the blades is increasing as technology increases. The power produced is proportional to the swept area – so doubling the radius quads the power. I expect existing turbines to be re-bladed to longer lengths. This may ideally be achieved by moderate intervention…..using almost all of the existing structures except the blades. But more probably replacing almost all of the structure – to get strong foundations, stronger and taller towers and more efficient generators. The problem in the UK is getting planning permission for new windfarms – but upgrading existing windfarms – should be straightforward.
Amazing 👏 🙀 😯 😮 😲 👏 🙀 😊😊😊😊😊
Sam
Was wondering since last year why Algos were not used in Turbine design and especially to optimize VAWT turbines (more suitable for residential installations). Saw that last month a new Ship Propeller had been designed with I think 70% increase in efficiency. Any thoughts ?
Also will you please do a video on home turbine kits. What to look out for (standards verified outputs etc) ?
It's true, wind and solar generators fall within the larger family of "renewable" generators. So does geo-thermal and various varieties of bio-waste combustion generators. But, bio-waste including wood-combustion of all kinds and ethanol are not emission-free. They produce massive amounts of CO2 and other by-products that make them as destructive as fossil fuels from the standpoint of climate change and environmental health. Emission-free is what we need to save the planet. We named our organization Renewable Taos and have decided to keep the name, BUT we recognize that it is misleading. We simply must stop burning things, all things renewable or not. Emission-free! Stop burning things!
The speed of rotation always seems to me to be constant – if it is working at all.
I always assume this is to synchronize with the alternating current in the grid.
It is the magnetic resistance to turning which varies.
Yes? No?
Actually, we should develop the twin chamber molten salt (nuclear) reactor. We would not need vast numbers of turbines.
I’m all for wind power IF it can sustain itself in a free market, NOT in a market of subsidies for wind and taxation on traditional power sources.
It would be great if wind engineers could figure out how to let them run when it is super windy out . Seems like the best time for them to collect energy. Instead of shutting them down.
AI "i'll use coal plants to power wind farms"
This is only the beginning of the green evolution… well I meant : revolution !
Bring back the white shirt!
solar panels are far superior then wind termines with its required maintenance and life cycle
Smart! 👍😎👍
All hot air
Sorry, but MIT has a press office that exaggerates wildly the various research projects (most of which govt sponsored) so as to keep their brand name in the news on a regular basis. Of course it is impossible to extract 30% more power from a wind turbine. The gears are maybe 95% efficient, and the generator is about as good as it can get.
Software tweaking is probably down at 1% improvement.
And half the time these so called breakthroughs can't be used at all because they require some change or are inapplicable for some other reason.
As an MIT alum, i am dismayed at how they are just reputation mining.
Thanks so much Sam…All the best
This was a good one. I do appreciate that you look at a lot more than most.
Blessings to your family
Good to remind us that wind energy is still a very young, and still developing, technology.
I would have thought the interactions between turbines would be well known to anyone who has done competitive sailing! It will be particularly important with ocean-based wind farms, whereas on land they usually choose the ridgetops.
This is f’ing awesome! I love stuff like this! Fantastic job Sam. Cheers!
Wind energy blows.
Australia working to not burn coal, but increasing its NEW coal exporting. The Isaac River coal mine – which WILL BE built near Moranbah, an 11-hour drive north of Brisbane – is expected to produce about 2.5 million tons of coal every five years. Guess GLOBAL WARMING / CLIMATE CATASTROPHE won't reach Australia somehow.
Sorry to poo the party, BUT. The US right now has only 12% of it’s energy in renewables (20% if you count the 8% in Nuclear). The Oil and Gas lobbyists are MASSIVE, and so too are the major energy companies (don’t forget once renewables form the main part of the energy hub then it will become decentralised and these big energy companies will cease to exist, so they’re kicking the Senate black and blue too). There is a major problem right now with getting permission to build more solar and wind farms. I don’t think Indiana have any and the lobbyists have come up with some ridiculous excuse that there’s not enough space in the US for these things. All sorts of other fairy stories being told which somehow, I don’t known why, people in the US believe. It’s all very well people like Obama and Biden punching ahead with this, but if it’s being stymied at almost every corner through procedure and law, it’s dead in the water. Don’t forget as well, when Trump was in power, ZERO new land was acquired for such projects. De Santos is the same. So that could be a problem. Unless your’e going to get places like North Dakota online with this sort of thing your’e not going to capture the hearts and minds in the US with it. I’m hoping against hope Sam is right and IRA will kick it into take off mode, but with so much demographic and political opposition, I’m not sure. You can bring a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. (Classic example of political interference in the electrification of vehicles are the states which have banned online sales.). Not sure, but I think Russia has more renewable energy than the US right now. 🙄
But won't that wind push the earth out of alignment?
You recently mentioned in one of your videos "The Third Industrial Revolution". This is an extraordinarily important concept. And, most people are completely unaware of it and it's originator, Jeremy Rifkin. I think it would be very useful for The Electric Viking to create a series of videos explaining The Third Industrial Revolution. It would also be useful to include in each segment examples of how Tesla (and Elon Musk's other teams) are participating in this mammoth industrial enterprise.
Perhaps the great story arc of the series could spring from what Neil deGrasse Tyson has said about Elon Musk: (Paraphrasing) Elon Musk isn't like Bezos, Jobs, Gates, and Zuckerberg. He isn't merely trying to create the next awesome app. Elon Musk is creating the technologies we will use to completely rebuild our entire civilization. 1000 years from now, people won't be talking about Bezos and those guys. But, people will still be talking about Elon Musk. And, most people today don't realize he is about to transform their entire lives.
Nope, it'll go to digital currency.
