[NSRCA-discussion] Interesting

[John Konneker]

I usually meet a convoy carrying a 3 blade set every morning when I drive my daughters to school.  These are 150 ft long each and 
built in the new Siemens factory in Fort Madison 30 miles from here.  The ones I see are heading west.  Don't know how many sets I miss
going north, south and east.

I just saw a show on TV about the windmills in Texas, and they mentioned the blades are composite balsa/fiberglass.

 Nat seen some come though Indy a couple of years ago that was being trucked, 2 separate flat beds, the tail steerable like the old fire ladder trucks, one blade per, routing very important LOL, and yes I was guessing 100 ft. from what I have seen on TV is these things are getting bigger extensionally from the early models.

I have never scene a modern wind turbine before, but today a train load came thru ( South Louisiana ) - blades, hubs, housings ?? The blades were singly loaded, LE down, and occupied approx 1 1/2 flatcars in length, 100ft ?
 
They may be headed to the Gulf. Sure hope it doesen't hurt the price of oil, LOL._______________________________________________NSRCA-discussion mailing listNSRCA-discussion at lists.nsrca.orghttp://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion
