Climate Change                              Language                              Thought Process

Language: Do thoughts conjure words or do words conjure thoughts? I seem to sense a level, realm, instant time of thought preceding the flow of words into my consciousness. Windmill Energy Air (wind) @ 5m/s over 200 m (“depth” the windmill intercepts, turbine blades @ 40 m, with low pressure “pull-in” of 60 m, total radial distance 100 m, width 200 m) Each turbine yields at maximum wind about 2 Mw. If the width is doubled as assumed here, each turbine “harvests” 0.75 Mw nearly half the energy from the wind, that has got to have a climatic impact, especially down-wind of a field of windmills. 1m wide column = 200 m2 @ 40 moles/m3 = 40,000 moles/s @ 15 g/mole = 600,000 g/s @ 5 m/s = 3,000,000 gm/s2                = 3,000 kgm/s2                = 3,000 Newtons E = ½ mv2     = 6.0 x 105 g/s x (5 m/s)2 / 2     = 3.0 x 105 g/s x 25 m/s2     = 7.5 x 106 gm2/s3     = 7500 kilowatts = 0.75 MW     = 7,500,000 J/s
