I e- mailed her twice, never expecting an answer as she seems to stay rather busy, and obviously gets plenty of fan mail, questions and inquiries etc. She wrote right back both times and was very friendly and down to earth. A small thing maybe, but appreciated and cool none the less.

I always enjoy when Sarah attempts to explain technical concepts. 😆 In this instance, the Venturi effect explains that moving air will speed up when it gets to a constriction like a pass between mountains. It's the same as when a slow moving river gets to a narrow channel and the constriction causes the water to speed up. There are other aspects to the Venturi effect but they are of little importance in this example. The faster moving air in the valley floor between the mountains is more effective in turning windmill blades. 😲 It is a simple concept but I think using the more technical term: "Venturi," to describe to non-technical folks makes the effect seem more complicated than it has to be. Thanks for the video Sarah !!!

the tip of a long blade can go quite fast, if too long, they can go supersonic, so on a very dark night I am sure some birds or bats get struck more often. However, people get killed all the time in the oil industry and nobody says anything, it is just considered as a cost of modern living, regrettable but inevitable in hazardous industries. not to mention the environmental havoc and damage to wildlife the oil industry manages to rack up. makes the windmills look second string, like they aren't even trying. for instance, the supertanker I sailed left behind a giant oil slick with every trip, because every time cargo is discharged, the tanks must be cleaned for the new cargo. every seagoing tanker ship in the world does this, in the open ocean beyond the pollution limits , so that new cargo is not contaminated. And it's not exactly fish food going over the side. I was on one oil run between Italy and Tunisia where the ocean boundaries extended out so far out from both countries that we would cut speed , which minimized the length of the cleaning slick to about five miles, and even then we regularly violated the oceanic boundaries.

The passenger jet at 7 minutes is a Convair 990 Coronado which was designed for the same market as the Boeing 707/Douglas DC-8. The Convair designers decided to emphasis speed, so it went slightly faster than the 707/DC-8s, but also came with some handling problems so took longer to get certified for passenger use. The combination of running a bit late and higher seat-mile costs meant relatively few sold (I think SwissAir was the biggest customer) and the 707/DC-8s swept the market, especially in America. Convair rebranded as General Dynamics and dropped out of the commercial airline market. NASA brought at least one, it wasn’t a bad airplane, would have been reasonably with an acceptable amount of spares (from scrapping other airframes) and offered a fair volume of space for NASA equipment. The gray plane behind it is an F-4 Phantom. Thank you for a great tour, glad you’ve put the coco-puffs behind you. ❤👍😊

I have a friend that works on the wind mills.. He sent me a really cool video of him climbing up & out onto the top of them! Talk about an awesome view!! And your right, they are totally fascinating!!!

I suspected that the workers climbed, and the more maintenance intensive elevators are only to transport parts.

I used to live in Colorado and Vestas makes Wind Propellers that are that size. Its amazing to see them loaded onto a train bed, each time they load one, the local traffic as to be halted to get the Wind Turbine onto the train bed from the semi truck bed.

Oh I absolutely have to go to this place. I love big jets and white elephants. I remember hearing about this place during the pandemic but haven’t checked it out since I moved to the area.

There are a few mines in that area, as well as a old abandoned railroad trestle that has no tracks left and the supposed wild Morgan horses in that area as well. At night, from where I live, you can see the flashing lights from the wind turbines.

I'm with you Wonderhussy. I've always been fascinated with Wind Power. The first time I saw a mountain top covered with them in the desert, I was in love. Like You, I'm a geeky type too. So much so this Landscape Architect with Civil Engineering background bought a semi truck and criss crossed North America to see it all. And I sure did! That's why I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH ☮️💜 From Daytona Beach
