Flying Binghi

Oh, then you will be able to find many STT articles to fault... Meanwhile, back to reporting on the eco-power scam... "...In the hard-hitting Danish docu-drama, Follow the Money, the Armani suited executives of Energreen play a game of cat and mouse with the Fraud Squad, pumping up the value of their wind farm ‘assets’, while erasing anything from their books that investors might reasonably conclude were liabilities. Some viewers might call it ‘creative accounting’, others good old-fashioned ‘fraud’. The apparent purpose of Energreen’s book keeping shenanigans is to lure in a steady stream of gullible investors to keep the whole circus afloat, long enough for those at the top of the Pyramid to line their pockets..." https://stopthesethings.com/2016/05/30/panic-erupts-infigen-set-to-offload-worn-out-australian-wind-farms-to-even-greater-fools/ And do follow the links in the STT articles - "...Recycling of the components is a special challenge for dismantling. "We are making wind turbines with massive subsidies, but no one has thought about what will happen afterwards with the plants, that the means used must be recyclable, for example", said Wilms, managing director of the largest German waste disposal company Remondis. The material of steel parts or copper lines is very well usable. One problem, however, is the rotor blades, which consist of a mixture of glass and carbon fibres and are bonded with polyester resins. "We are running into a huge problem," said Michael Schneider from Remondis on the Handelsblatt. Because it is hardly possible to separate the fibres bonded with resin. "We can't get them apart," says Schneider. From 2021, 16 000 tonnes of such materials could be incurred annually..." https://stopthesethings.com/2018/05/10/green-energys-poisonous-legacy-millions-of-toxic-turbine-blades-destined-for-african-landfills/ .

Oh, what is wrong with it ? Latest article from STT - "...The Swiss national daily Baseler Zeitung recently reported how Germany’s wind industry is facing a potential “abandonment”..." https://stopthesethings.com/2018/05/10/green-energys-poisonous-legacy-millions-of-toxic-turbine-blades-destined-for-african-landfills/ Aparently the plan is to bury old german wind towers in Africa. I suppose it will be good for the African ground water..... .

...and a cyclone came along and blew it all away... When revisiting places on the Great Barrier Reef you better understand the effects of cyclones on places yer may have seen many years ago.. "...the Australian Institute of Marine Science found coral cover increased by 19 per cent across the marine park between 2012 and 2015, nearly doubling the southern sector due to good early recovery from cyclones and floods..." http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/1625_australian.pdf Of course, if your income is derived from finding bleaching, then bleaching yer will find... .

OK. So, Attenbough is just another of the millions of people who have dived a spot on the reef. I've dived a coral reef. In 1965 Valerie Taylor dove along the entire reef... .

"...Chaos Reigns Supreme: Erratic Wind and Solar Destroy Australia’s Once Reliable Power Grid...". https://stopthesethings.com/2018/05/09/chaos-reigns-supreme-erratic-wind-and-solar-destroy-australias-once-reliable-power-grid/ .

Is 'joker' Attenborough talking of his personal experiences on the GBR, or is he just regurgitating what's been told to him ? .

Well, if he's a good rider he probably ain't fallen off yet and got to test it out.. .

So presenting evidence of coral bleaching going back hundreds of years is obnoxious..... wow, the Algorian force is strong with you. Listen not to the Heritic or ye may be afflicted with common sense...bye bye... Meanwhile, back with the big heretical villain of the piece... "...Ridd has challenged the findings of several papers on coral and the Great Barrier Reef. One paper claims there has been a 15 per cent decline in calcification rate between 1990 and 2005. But Ridd’s quality assurance work claims the paper has two major flaws. The first is an assumption that corals grow at the same rate, no matter what their size or age. The second shortcoming is measurement errors in the last coral band of each core. Ridd claims when the errors are removed the fall in the calcification rate after 1990 disappears..." http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/1625_australian.pdf (Damn thing wont format smaller) .

Sundry info... Methane Hydrate. Japan, China and others are spending large amounts of money getting a methane hydrate refining industry up and running. Methane hydrate can be made into engine fuel. Working off the current known reserves and present rate of world usage of petroleum they reckon there is about 10,000 years supply of methane hydrate. There is no shortage of energy on this planet - only a shortage of common sense. As with anything out of China - Fuel will cost mere cents...

Every time I fall off a bike I tend to hit arm first. I dont know the chaps set up though mounted on the arm sounds a bit dubious. .

If your flying by yourself who's going to know... unless it is needed. .

If yer think there is something in section 8 that might be used against me then put it up for the eco-loons - I'm sure their scrambling for some hand hold though they'll probably only find Cpl Klinger there.. .

Heh, I wonder where the screams of abuse are towards coral bleaching denier Valerie Taylor.... :scratchinghead: I put up the comments of Valerie Taylor and it sends a few of the eco-loon posters here off on a subject changing ga-ga mode.. Interview with Valerie Taylor………….diver, shark expert, conservationist Published in The Australian, May14, 2016  "...What’s your take on the bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef? In 1965 we went from one end of the reef to the other, over six months, and we found bleaching then. In the ’70s we went back and you’d never know it had happened..." As an aside, Taylor knows Dick Smith. Smith seems to have an opinion about everything, and gets it mentioned in the media, so where are his comments about the current reef hysteria..... .

Not havin a go at me barely literate writings are ya.. I think I were a little to brief and dis-jointed in that post. At "B" I shoulda had said to go back to page one and flick through all the computer generated pictures and LIDA photos. And at "C", read through the whole report. What I were attempting to emphasise were that when reading the research one needs to keep in mind it is basically a computer generated study that does not take into account wind shear inputs into wind generator blade turbulence. Note in the turbulence depictions in the research that the wake turbulence is basically shown in a clean airflow with no airflow speed variance shown for height. Considering, as I've mentioned before, that there is wind industry research done on turbulence effects affecting wind towers in grouped situations I find this so-called aircraft related research to be the usual garbage put out by the eco-loons. .

Briefly, for a start... A/ Start at chapter 8. "Piloted flight simulation results" No need to look at every graph - just get a gist of it. B/ Flick through and have a look at all them nice computer simulations of turbulent airflow. And even look at the LIDAR pictures. C/ Then sit down and have a read through whilst keeping in mind the term "wind shear" Every pilot knows what wind shear is dont they.. D/ Whilst reading consider that there is much literature from the wind industry itself describing the combined turbulence effects of two wind towers aligned with the wind flow. And, i think there was a saying that Winston Churchill used to describe people who try and bamboozle yer with large amounts of bull.... .

Finally, back to the thread subject. This link yer provided octave, I first came across over in pprune well over a year ago. I enjoyed picking it apart then and i'm sure I'll enjoy doing the same here.. .

I just noted on one of the power related sites a visual chart of the various power inputs for today. Using the pria weeks record as a rough ballpark of average, it appears that whilst coal had a small increase of output today, the main replacement for today's wind shortfall were taken up by the various gas power systems. Considering the still relatively small input wind power has into the Australian power system it is easy to see just how extreme the power fluctuations will become as more wind power comes on line.

Errr... your the one making the claim, not me. You cite the reference quote. .

Yep, you are correct - "...Emergency services were able to locate the pilot and the wreckage because of a beacon inside the helicopter..." .

...And back with the thread subject. In the UK - "...why there has been no studies into the effect turbulence from wind farms has on planes when the organisation itself said in 2012 there was an “urgent need” for an assessment. CAA has issued guidance to aerodrome operators saying a “large number of turbines in an area” will have a cumulative effect that is “of far more significant concerns"..." https://stopthesethings.com/2015/10/26/deadly-aircraftturbine-disaster-at-highland-wind-farms-just-a-matter-of-time/ .

Extract the relevant quote for us so we don't have to wade through pages of nonsense. .

"fracking powder"....... ? Stay away from the perfume section next yer go to the Myer shop. Also avoid dish washing liquid or yer might fall sick.. .

I see the wind generators are still only operating at about 8% capacity at this time.... and the suns going down.... Thank the lord for coal as that's what will be cooking my dinner tonight... http://anero.id/energy/wind-energy .

Back with wind. Meanwhile, over in Germany... "...Recently German SAT1 television broadcast a documentary on the state of the European and German increasingly green power grid: “How secure are our power grids?” Due to the volatile and unpredictable supply of wind and solar energy, the grid has become far more unstable, the documentary warns. The news is not good..." http://notrickszone.com/2017/11/11/german-media-report-power-grids-in-distress-highly-unstable-due-to-wind-and-sun-power/#sthash.EKGCIWgt.dpbs .

Looks to be an R22 down. Pilot survived so all good. Interesting thing is it had an airframe mounted EPIRB that worked. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-08/helicopter-pilot-survives-serious-crash-near-nt-qld-border/9739336 .
