]]> Comment on Do Wind Turbines Really Kill Birds And Bats? -Part Two by Graham Cliff http://www.windpowersavings.com/do-wind-turbines-really-kill-birds-and-bats-part-two/141/comment-page-1/#comment-87 Graham Cliff Tue, 30 Aug 2011 09:02:42 +0000 http://www.windpowersavings.com/?p=141#comment-87 Do very large (and therefore very slow) wind turbines kill fewer birds and bats? Has anyone done any research on this hypothesis? Moreover why do wind turbine advocates NOT also advocate turning OFF unnecessary lights so that the energy which wind turbines create is NOT WASTED? Does anyone realise that wasted energy is becoming a real problem as we light the night sky - this upsets not only astronomers but ALL nocturnal creatures who lose their natural night time habitat! Moreover circadian disruption, caused by the 24 hour day, upsets human heath. The CfDS handbook "Blinded by the Light?" explains it all.

I worked on the foundation for 2 big generators in my home town so well I was talking to an ironworker who has worked on 400 +foundations and his observation is that in a given area several generators catch alot of wind and rotate swiftly while some are slower and some docile .So living in a city wind direction and speed is critical in determining if the project is worhtwhile. consider this a wind speed & direction sensor on a 30 ft pole. I think 3 sections of sewer pipe *in /lows set on a 4 section outrigger base made of 2X12 12' long with screw jack's for leveling. what should the pipe diameter be and are guy wires required or a single cable rinning thrugh the center line to a ground anchor . any engineering ideas? to say that I am hooked on wind power is like a welcome breeze to a sailor on a calm august day cool.

I even have a miniature version of the windmill turbine just to get ideas on how to make a real size version to supply power in our home. I've known that in order for me to make a home base version of the wind generator i would be needing a neodium magnets. The problem is,here in the philippines no one supply it. Is there any other type of generator that i can use for a windmill generator? I already have a power inverter from 12v to 220ac. And about the batteries use to store power, can any other kind of battery can be used? tnx To whom it may concern,
