Sentences with phrase «blades slow the winds»

Would the energy extraction due to the storm spinning the turbines» blades slow the winds and diminish the hurricane, or would the hurricane destroy the turbines?

Not exact matches

We also shudder to think what Donald Trump, who thinks that the slow rotating blades of wind turbines miles offshore spoil his golf courses, would make of high - pitched whirring noises in the rarefied air above them.

This could be because like wind turbines, the blades rotate at relatively slow speeds.

If you find combat too slow, switch to the dual blades to launch a slew of fast but weak attacks, or if you aren't afraid to leave yourself exposed as you wind up for slow but powerful swings, take the great sword out for a spin.

For example, the hammer is a slow, swinging weapon that is used to deliver massive single - hits that can knock off parts of a Behemoth, where as the chain blades and war pike are much more focused on constant damage - per - second (DPS) and can open - up wounds and weak spots on the enemies during battle.

«However the modern wind industry knows how to avoid these problems so long as their feet are held to the fire to ensure they carry out mitigating measure such as proper location, proper siting, proper spacing, slow moving easily visible blades, towers that don't make good nesting sites to attract birds and so on.»

Despite the potential collective loss of millions of dollars in electric generation, the U.S. wind energy industry has voluntarily committed to changing how turbines are operated during the bats» fall migration season, slowing blade rotations to fewer than 1 - 3 revolutions a minute, depending on blade length, thereby reducing the risk of collision.

They tested a revised operating procedure slowing turbine blades to near motionless in low - wind periods significantly reduces bat mortality.

Based on Enronís machine specification data, however, it appears that the largest blade diameter windmillówith lower rated wind speeds (11.8 m / s v. 13 m / s for the smallest blade diameter windmill) and lower cut - in and cut - out wind speeds (3 and 20 m / s v. 4 and 25 m / s for the smallest blade diameter windmill) ómay be designed for slower wind speed locations.

The research, recently published in the Journal of Wildlife Management, demonstrates that slowing turbine blades to near motionless in low - wind periods significantly reduces bat mortality.»

The authors simply dismissed actual reported field CFs as irrelevant and not valid because they allegedly apply only to short, «low - power turbines with small diameters in slow - wind areas [less than 7 to 7.5 m / s annual winds]...» The authors, however, fail to explain why the higher power windmills with large diameter blades were not available before, if indeed this combination is wind energyís economic panacea.

If the wind begins to blow too hard, which can threaten the turbines, the software will automatically feather the blades, slowing them down, and direct the coal or natural gas plants to increase their output.
