A row of wind-powered generators (windmills) on Altamont Pass between the San Francisco Bay area and the San Joaquin Valley.
Powerhouse Building steelwork being erected with jib and pole. Roof trusses are ready to be lifted. Vic Kuorikoski did the drawings for this building.
MV Turbo-alternator installation. The stator is in place and the rotor is being prepared in the foreground. Note the shipping containers with the weights expressed in imperial units.
Dad and I recently went for another visit - on a brilliantly bright day - to Whitelee Wind Farm, the largest onshore wind farm in the British Isles (covering some 55 square kilometres of moorland just southwest of Glasgow).
There are some 215 of these enormous Siemens wind turbines, which stand some 65 metres tall (110 metres if you include the rotors at full height arc), and those enormous blades create a rotor diameter of 93 metres. Quite staggering to stand right underneath one as the blades turn in slow rhythm above your head, whooomp, whooomp, whooomp...
Very impressive bits of kit when you get right up close, and as the moorland just south of Glasgow (near Eaglesham village, where, famously, Rudolph Hess bailed out on his bizarre mission during the Second World War) has had some 90km of looping paths and tracks for walkers (and their dogs!), cyclists and horse riders to enjoy - the turbines go right out of site, covering such a large area. Glasgow Science Centre runs an annexe here, providing the visitor centre, especially good for letting younger visitors fiddle with things to learn what's going on.
