Description

I took this on my last trip to Nevada.I was lucky to spot from the air.the only way I noticed was the bright gravel roads.this is for Digimon other wise known as Eric thanks for viewing and any comments I think that I heard that this farm is 30 miles from the front gate on the left side to the end on the right side Turbines are used in nearly all electrical generating technologies, and wind power is no different. The blades — or rotors — of a wind turbine are similar to airplane blades. Strong, steady winds cause the blades, some as long as 130 feet, to rotate a turbine. The rotating motion of magnets in the turbines causes an electric field that can generate a flow of electrical current. Wind turbines are usually mounted on towers from 100 feet to 300 feet tall because wind speed increases with height. Turbines operate best in areas where wind speeds are 16 mph to 20 mph at a height of 50 meters. Wide open West Texas, where the winds whip across the plains, is an ideal location for wind projects, also called wind farms.
