@Kevin Dunno for sure, couldn't find the name of the Gloucester manufacturer, but possibly not, because it was shipped from Germany, while the Deer Island units are from an Indian company. https://rrbenergy.com/pawan-shakthi-600-kw
Always wanted to take photos here, of course later in the year and maybe with a telelens on a beautiful evening would make more sense, but hey, nice test. Imagine that mist being of mystic golden light. Happens quite a lot there. :)
Actually even with this crop (around 40% in i guess? on the first one), I find the image staying quite stable. I don't think my previous aps-c camera (80d) would have performed like this.
Here we have a little hill in the far with wind turbines decorating the horizon... i should take another one here once the desert and trees get some color on them. I find the overall colors of this camera interesting. I have altered dynamic and saturation a little bit (+8 each) but tone, (auto) wb and grading is all default. I also have a pano version but thats pretty useless for the internet. :)
@BenjaminHCCarr I have friends who live near a windfarm and walk through the fields under the turbines regularly. They report never finding a dead bird or bat or seeing anything scavenging.
@mattferrell gotcha. Blade angle seems like it's quasi similar to the pulling in of the air scoops in Harmony's design, they reduce the captured energy to stay under operational limits.
I'm thinking of increasing the resistance of the gearing. Definitely would add significant additional engineering requirements and stresses to the system though.
@pixelpusher220 Well, Harmony did talk to me a bit about their generator design, which is VERY interesting. They're keeping details quiet for now, but that's something else to watch for. I'll be publishing my full interview with them on my podcast, Still TBD next week.
