Where we live they build the turbines and housings. They are huge.
It's neat to see them being put on railway cars for shipment to the
windfarms. When one is brought into town to the port/loading area
the huge tractor/low-boy stops traffic in downtown Pensacola.
Thanks for the photos and narrative, Tom



Thanks Tom,

We build the masts here and (I think) the blades.

The blades are some form of really grunty fibreglass and have surprisingly
small mass balance adjusters built into the tips. Now and again,
there's a blade with some kind of nick or scratch that makes a curious
whistle as it goes past.
