ipso, re scottish tidal energy farm

Posted by treefrog @ 13:00 on September 14, 2016  

i wonder how they are going to address the issue of marine fouling.  (barnacles, etc.)

also, there is a math problem:

“Each turbine is a weighty piece of mechanical engineering, measuring 15 meters tall and weighing 200 metric tons, with eight-meter-long blades.”

if the blades are eight meters how do they turn in a fifteen meter circle.  even with no allowance for a hub, it would require sixteen meters.  maybe they’re using common core math.  god help them.
