From pgipe@igc.apc.orgThu Dec 21 13:47:48 1995 Date: Wed, 20 Dec 1995 07:59:26 -0800 (PST) From: Paul Gipe To: london@sunsite.unc.edu Subject: New WWW Sites on Wind Energy New WWW Sites Here are some new www sites with information on wind energy. They are in no particular order. Some have already been announced. http://www.igc.apc.org/hp/ Home Power magazine home page. Skillful use of colorful wiring diagrams and images of renewable power systems. Their wind energy page was linked to their pv pages when I viewed the site, but Home Power says they will add a wind section soon. http://michell.maths.adelaide.edu.au/Applied/UA_DAM_FLUIDS/AERO/ WINDMILL/windmill.html Dept. of Applied Mathematics Fluids Group at the University of Adelaide (down under). Image of experimental straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine and bibliography on VAWTs. http://www.ecn.nl/unit_de/society/kennemer/ Home page for the Dutch wind turbine cooperative Windmolen Vereniging `Kennemerwind.' You don't have to know Dutch to get the gist of it. They use 8 Lagerwey 18/80s and plant to add two more in 1996. Evert Kuiken is one of the 500 members of this cooperative. The cooperative, the biggest in the Netherlands (een van de grootste?) has invested about $400,000. Wind Werkt! http://www.ecn.nl/unit_de/society/eendragt/ Home page for Dutch wind turbine cooperative Windmolen Vereniging `De Eendragt.' http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/res_ltd/ Stewart Russell created this home page for British wind company Renewable Energy Systems Ltd. Several good photos of wind turbines in the United Kingdom. http://www.cadvision.com/arets/ Announcement of an Aeration Workshop of the Alberta Renewable Energy Test Site. More will be added later on wind pumps being tested at the test center near Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada. http://www.swbi.net/pfgolbeck_home.htm Peter Goldbeck uses his home page to introduce www browsers to wind energy and specifically the Tacke 600 kW turbine at the Bruce Nuclear Power Development near Kincardine, Ontario, Canada. Peter is a technician at the nuclear plant and monitors the turbine for Ontario Hydro. He presents a table of production statistics from the turbine. http://keynes.fb12.tu-berlin.de/luftraum/konst/stamps/ Klaus and I have added a whole series of postage stamps from different countries that depict windmills. The new images include four stamps from the U.S., two from France, one from Germany, and one from the Netherlands. We will add stamps from Denmark, Hungary and the Netherlands' Antilles early next year. Paul Gipe Paul Gipe & Assoc.; 208 S.
