#turbines — Public Fediverse posts

we should follow the #atlassian project and build more with #wood and #timber

"Wind turbine blades usually end their lives buried in landfills, but a German manufacturer says its 63-foot wooden blades milled from laminated veneer lumber resist fatigue better and cost about 20 percent less to make."

Yesterday again one of the Capital Wind Farm fans precessed (I suppose that is a term?) (rotated around its tower axis) a full turn and then some.

I have questions.
Was it hunting for the wind, badly?
Was it exercising the turret bearing?
Was it confused?
Was someone in Iberdrola Bilbao fiddling about with it just for fun?

BloombergNEF's latest analysis of a 500 MW US data center finds gas engines currently deliver the lowest LCOE at around $103/MWh, ahead of both open- and combined-cycle gas #turbines.

For many AI projects, deployment speed and grid connection timelines may matter as much as efficiency.

DOJ claims xAI's gas turbines are a matter of 'national and energy security'

#DOJ, #Mississipi, ask #court to #dismiss suit by #NAACP re: data center in #Memphis, an #asthma capital of USA.
-> When filed, the xAI #DataCenter was illegally using 27 #GasTurbines, spewing #pollution & poisonous #chemicals. Since then, the #SELC (Southern #Environmental Law Center) "obtained emails showing that xAI added even more #turbines after the #lawsuit was filed, bringing the total number to 57."

Could this simple idea revolutionise #Scottish #energy industry?

The idea is to co-locate specially designed “Tide-Torrent” #turbines on the #sea floor alongside #offshore #wind farms.

Water moving past wind turbine foundations gains speed, McAnally said, suggesting smaller #tidal generators could be positioned to capture that extra energy.

Why #wind #turbines have 3 blades and not 2, 4 or 5

Astonishing, when you think about it. Every time someone dismisses some worthwhile new idea (a better electoral system, better educational methods, more efficient vehicles, less-primitive housing) because it’s too complicated or can’t be made to work, I want to point out all the colossally harder stuff we ALREADY DO.

#ElonMusk’s #xAI is being sued for using #polluting #generators at its #datacentre near Memphis. Despite the lawsuit, xAI plans to buy $2.8 billion more #turbines, including $2 billion worth of mobile #gasturbines, which are currently under scrutiny for violating #airpollution regulations. https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/20/musks-xai-is-being-sued-over-its-data-center-generators-now-its-buying-2-8b-more/?AIagents.at #AIagent #AI #ML #NLP #LLM #GenAI

I don't think #UK #datacentres are going to be running on gas/oil cycle #turbines, much, soon, nor later. Even combined cycle would be optimistic.

#Gas packing plants, #pipelines, and #refineries, are all being blown up all over the place, except this far the USA, where the mad king is determined to burn as much as possible.

It isn't going to get better quickly.

If we need them, they need big #batteries, #wind turbines, #solar panels, and anything else to hand.
