These grains move much faster and have longer trajectories than reptons, because wind speeds increase with altitude.

In addition to becoming more prone to catastrophic failure, the turbines also become less efficient at higher speeds because they become more like a wall than a rotor, blocking the wind from flowing past the rapidly rotating blades, says Asfaw Beyene, a professor of engineering at San Diego State University in California, who was not involved with the work.

Only this (smaller) billboard gives the time, temperature, wind direction and wind speed, along with the cumulative energy generated by the turbine, rather than featuring the latest ad from Samsung or Calvin Klein.
