Bad mixture: windmills and tornadoes

You know that when a camera focuses on a single windmill... something must happen!

What you have just witnessed is not the norm. Windmills work best at air currents between 40 and 80km/h. However, due to new regulations state-of-the-art wind turbines must be designed in order to outdo in adverse situations (probably like the one above). They are designed so that they stop at a so-called "survival speed" of 208-320km/h.

What happened to the windmill of the video was that it had a break failure while trying to accomplish the security system.

Recommendation of the chef: Press "4" while reproducing the video.

Distributed Energy around the world

We have just learnt about an amazing article about the new energetic plan set up in Santa Fe Province, Argentina. As a matter of fact, there is a global energetic concern and it seems that the most appealing solution consists of Renewable energy distributed in small areas.

Never one to miss a trick, Argentinian farmers started making the most of their resources and began producing their own energy rather than consuming it.

Their energetic patterns were: Hydraulic, eolic and solar energy, biogas, biomass and biodiesel.
