Some notes on wing energy - Everything has its negative point

in hive-175254 •  4 years ago 

Hello Community of Project.hope, we are almost at the weekend, again, I hope you are having a very good week, very productive and taking care of yourself.

This publication is based on a recent reading of an article, which led me to think about what I want to say next. I was reading about wind energy and the benefits that it brings to the world to produce energy from the force of the air, that seemed great, much more considering that at present we need to reduce pollution levels, to go increasingly minimizing the use of fossil energy (gasoline, diesel, kerosene, etc), and that the trend is more to use clean energy (solar and wind energy, for example).

However, as I read other articles, I somehow came to another one that pointed out the negative effects that wind energy has for example... I said to myself, well, we certainly can't focus only on reading the good things it brings, everything in life has its weak points. And this caught my attention, because it's hard to please everyone, in fact it's impossible.

What are those weaknesses?

That's what I want to talk about a little bit next.

As you can see in the image on the right, the energy comes from the movement of those big blades, which is the wind that makes it move and this movement is transformed into electrical energy through another system, I am not a great connoisseur of this area, I must emphasize, but as a universal law I know that Energy is not destroyed, but transformed, in this case the Kinetic energy is transformed into electrical energy. So far, we are doing well, but what is the detail that some highlight in this case?...

These propellers are of great dimensions, they can be up to 40 meters long, in addition, the towers are 100 or more meters high. Of the points that criticize this I can enumerate:

  • The noise that, you can imagine, some 40-meter long propellers rotating on an axis, driven by the force of the wind. A large area in which several of these giant devices operate. The noise is a huge pollutant. And this in turn brings up other points against it, for example the following point.
  • It has caused many birds to migrate to other habitats, in search of peace and quiet, which in turn has led to changes in different ecosystems.
  • But that's not all, these big propellers bring with them an increase in the mortality of the birds, which may not see them when they are turning, or simply become disoriented by the noise and are simply destroyed.

For conservationists, these are obviously points that are not at all viable for the permanence of many bird species, so there are strong claims about that. It is logical, and it is necessary to improve this aspect, but how?

Thank you very much for reading me.

I wanted to share this information with you, and know what you think about it:

  • Can you improve these points that are considered negative?
  • Did you know anything about it?

It occurs to me to think about optimizing the mechanism of the propellers of the blades, how you say the energy is not made, simply is transformed into other forms of energy, therefore the kinetic energy product of the wind can be taken advantage of by another mechanism that does not affect the air fauna in this case, what do you think friend of this proposal?

I was fascinated by your article, thanks for sharing

Yes, replacing the propellers with something else that equally transforms the force of the wind into electrical energy is a solution. In fact, I just read recently that they are already working on it... I think I will write about it. Thanks for commenting.

the negative sides can be minimized in rural area

Hi @lebah
In the rural area?
In what way? I don't visualize it.

Hello friend @josevas217

I didn't really know this, I certainly know this system but I hadn't thought about the possible disadvantages, it's something important and you should consider, I assume that people shouldn't live near these systems as the sonic contamination would be greater.

They usually build them in isolated places, because the noise is very strong, according to what I read, but I haven't really been close to this technology.
I imagine it must make a lot of noise, because of the large size, and yes, there are always disadvantages in everything.
