Dutch wind farm to save eagles’ lives with #smart #cameras on #turbines

One of the biggest criticisms of the #wind farm proliferation in Europe has been the harm that the blades of the turbines cause to the local birdlife. Now it seems that there is a solution being tried out by a wind farm in Zeewolde (Netherlands), which involves the installation of smart cameras on the wind turbines.

The essence of the project is to have the cameras stop the rotation of the blades automatically if they identify the incoming object as an eagle, thus preventing a collision and injury or death to the animal. The smart device will be able to detect an object from a distance of 1,100 metres and then if the object closes in, at 300 metres the camera will identify it as an eagle and automatically stop the blades for a few minutes.

Why #eagles? Apart from the fact that they are rare and protected animals, being apex predators, their attention is usually focused on the ground below in search of prey. Thus, they might not even notice that there is an object ahead of them.

Next year, a wind farm in Zeewolde (Netherlands) will install smart cameras on its wind turbines with the aim of preventing collision between protected sea eagles and the blades.

Single-bladed floating wind turbine. From a Dutch company called Touchwind.

"It's designed around a massive single-piece rotor, sitting on the end of a pole that's draped over a big barrel, with a large floating buoy hanging beneath it."

"This one huge double blade, says Touchwind, should cost around 30% as much to make as the triple-bladed arrangements on traditional turbines. It doesn't require any expensive active blade-pitch control systems, and where most standard turbines need to shut down in wind speeds above 25 or so m/sec (90 km/h / 56 mph), this one is rated for speeds as high as 70 m/sec (252 km/h / 157 mph). Less downtime equals more productive hours and more energy."

The reason for the lack of active blade-pitch control systems is the wind itself and the dangling buoy server to control the angle of the blade, so it always has the right exposure to the wind.

Single-bladed floating wind turbine promises half the cost, more power

Single-bladed floating wind turbine promises half the cost, more power

We haven't seen a floating offshore wind turbine like this before. Touchwind claims its innovative single-blade turbines will solve several problems to drive down cost and downtime, using a single, huge blade with no fancy active pitch controls.

#Swati (The #priest, the #sword) (186°40 to 200°00′ Libra)

Swati nakshatra is represented in the night sky by the single star of #Arcturus (Alpha-Bootis). This is the main star in the #constellation of #Bottis. In the #astrology chart, Swati resides entirely in the sign #Libra.
Swati translates as " #Independent one." The symbol of this nakshatra is a young #plant #blowing in the #wind, which represents flexibility and agility as well as restlessness. The ruling deity #Vayu, the God of wind, bestows a strong, yet gentle nature to this star. #Rahu is the planetary ruler and signifies hidden potential.
Those born under Swati nakshatra are humble and often need to be informed of their own potential for greatness. They have an openness to learn new information, but must also avoid indecision and procrastination. Those born under Swati are diplomatic and they use charm to navigate the world. These people have strong beliefs in social etiquette and try to fit into society. Swati can bring success later in life. The essence of Swati is balance and people born under this star take their time to act.

Sacred Energy Vortex
#Siththukkadu #Sri #Prsanna #Kundalambhigai #Samedha Sri #Thaanthreeswarar #Siva #Temple Sri #Sundararaja #Perumal Temple

The sacred site with most significance for Swati star is located at Sihthukkadu near Poondamalli in Tamil Nadu, India. This site connects the sacred shrines of Sri Thaanthreeswarar Siva Temple and Sri Sundararaja Perumal Temple. It is important for those born under Swati star to visit the sacred energy vortexes of Lord Shiva and Lord Maha #Vishnu at Siththukkaadu.

Swati nakshatra is a saintly word that consists of energy representing the oneness of Siva and Vishnu. Worshipping at both these temples on Swati star day, Monday or Dwadhasi (12th waxing moon phase) would bestow grace and significant benefic effects for the solidarity of the Saivites and Vaishnavites.

Sri Prasanna Kundhala ambhigai Samedha Sri Thaandhreeswara Siva Moorthy is also a sacred shrine bestowing grace of yoga jothi, an energy that personify in the shape of sound and light. Mixing both light and sound is known as Kundala Yogam and through this mixture, Kundala Jothi comes forth. On the Swati star day, at Siththukkaadu Siva temple aunqiue Kundala Jothi shines brightly. A small earthen lamp lit on Swati star day at this sacred shrine would bring Kundala Jothi energy for the whole world.

Kubera Moorthy worshipped at the sacred shrine situated at Siththukkaadu, the place of manifestation of abundance of wealth. He performed penance for thousands of years by standing on the toe of his right foot and worshiping with Nagalinga flowers to Kundhal ambhigai Samedha Sri Thaandhreeswarar. After performing abhishekham with the essence of Emblic Myrobalan fruit, he worshipped Lord Mahaa Vishnu in Sri Sundararaja Perumal Temple. Kubera Moorthy was granted the blessing to provide assistance in the form of immense wealth to those worshipping with great devotion at this sacred shrine.

Swati nakshatra contains the energy of absorbing, spreading and fulfilling the divine energy on the divine objects such as rudraksha beads, bells, and sacred thread. Siththukkaadu is one of the sacred shrines where this energy can be easily accessed. In addition to those born under Swati star, visiting this sacred temple can benefit those who are married without the blessings of their parents or family members as well as doctors and people in the medical professions.

Swati nakshatranatives, your #incense is made with the #herb #Jarul as prescribed by the Vedas.

Burning one of these pillars is like performing a mini fire ritual for that particular star formation. For your specific Birthstar, you will be able to connect inwardly to your planet of energetic origin and gain support with the positive aspects that are you.

Burning the other Nakshatra pillars on that specific Nakshatra day will tune you in with the favorable activities with that star’s energy for the day. It is recommended to at least burn your own personal Nakshatra pillar daily to stay connected to your essence. It is advantageous to burn the days Nakshatra pillar as well.

#Alleebäume, #Staßenausbau, W5#ürgassen

So, dann mal meinen Teil dazu beigetragen.

Das Bild zeigt in keiner Weise die reale Situation.

Es schüttete heftig, #Blitz, #Donner und #Wind machten den Sammelplatz zu einem kleinen #Lützerath und der vorbeirauschende Verkehr war schon heftig.
Obwohl die #Polizei absicherte und sperrte, quetschten sich immer wieder Autos vorbei.

Nasse Bettlaken sind sauschwer😃

60 Demonstranten im strömenden Regen bei Warburg

Die Polizei sichert den Zug mitten im Freitagnachmittag-Verkehr vorn und hinten mit Fahrzeugen. Und die Demonstrierenden haben eine Botschaft.

Net Zero - SNP cuts down millions of trees to build wind farms on public land

Mairi #Gougeon, the Scottish Government's Rural Affairs Secretary, admitted that they had felled millions of trees in order to build more turbines. It forms part of the #SNP administration's plans to make #Scotland net zero over the next decade.

And she claimed that many of the felled trees will have been "replanted on site" or replaced elsewhere, with the vast majority of them being part of a commercial crop that would have been chopped down anyway "at the end of their rotation”.

CROSS VENTILATION - Architecture
Cross ventilation is a natural phenomena where wind, fresh air or a breeze enters upon an opening, such as a window, and flows directly through the space and exits through an opening on the opposite side of the building (where the air pressure is lower). This produces a cool stream of air and as well as a current across the room from the exposed area to the sheltered area. Other terms used for the effect include, cross-breeze, cross-draft, wind effect ventilation and cross-flow ventilation.

Windows or vents positioned on opposite sides of the room allow passive breezes a pathway through the structure, which circulate the air and provide passive cooling. Cross ventilation is a wind-driven effect and requires no energy, in addition to being the most effective method of wind ventilation. A commonly used technique to remove pollutants and heat in an indoor environment, cross ventilation can also decrease or even obviate the need for an air-conditioner and can improve indoor air quality.
