replies: text: Anybody who lives near (or even drives past) this turbine at night cannot fail to wonder how the turbine blades continue to whizz round at full service speed when barely a blade of grass moves and steam rises vertically.  I think removing the fact that the turbine consumes power at night is typical of the 'Climate Change Heresy' censorship that seems to be creeping across Wikipedia.  I would say that on balance there is no need for a citation for such a physically self-evident fact.  So, unless anybody can provide a clear citation that the blades turn themselves by perpetual motion / wizardry / the will of God / voodoo etc, I'm putting it back in. 160.84.253.241 (talk)  —Preceding comment was added at 07:22, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: ...and someone will be removing it immediatley. As you are adding the fact, it is up to you to find a citation to back it up, not everyone else to find a citation to disprove it. Also, for your info, I live near the turbine, and I manage quite successfully to "...fail to wonder how the turbine blades continue to whizz round at full service speed when barely a blade of grass moves and steam rises vertically". 1), they don't - full service speed is fast, and the blades can go quite slowley, and 2) this thing is efficient. It really will turn with barely a gust. So, if you can find a citation to proove that it is powered at night, then by all means add the fact back in. Otherwise, don't.

replies: text: See what I mean?  I'm surprised there isn't a 'MMGW HeresyBot'.  Sorry, I couldn't be bothered.  Put it down to 'Green Magic'. BTW if the thing is going round 'fast', then it's just windmilling...when it's generating it needs to go round at a constant steady speed for the alternator to synchronise with the 50Hz mains.  Likewise when it is being driven at nights, it goes round at a steady speed because it then becomes an a.c. motor being driven by a fixed-frequency 50Hz 3-phase supply.  Oops...sorry...I blaspheme :-) 160.84.253.241 (talk)  —Preceding comment was added at 09:50, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: p.s. BBC wind for Reading tonight is Westerly at 5mph becoming South-West at 7mph. I am looking at it now, but I will be going home at 4.45.  Please pop out after dark and tell us all (honestly) what the turbine does during this 7mph 'gale' :-) 160.84.253.241 (talk)  —Preceding comment was added at 10:23, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

text: Like I said...let's just leave it as 'Green Magic'. The planning authorities obviously swallowed all the 'greenwash', so why shouldn't we?. 160.84.253.241 (talk) 13:14, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I did see the comments that you've edited out, but I'm not particularly in the mood for a fight ;). Like I said, if you can cite something to prove your point, I'll activley encourage you to re-add it. Until then, we'll leave it as 'Green Magic'. TalkIslander 14:23, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, same here.  I'm not one of those stubborn people who pursues a pointless argument to the death, and anyway I love the idea of a wind turbine that actually makes wind, just like on Tellytubbies. :-)  I just hate this idea of 'greenwashing' things, so you have people thinking they are saving the planet by installing solar panels, which in reality make enough power to heat a fish tank.  Likewise 'Green Park' with its greenwash name, green windows and gimmick wind turbine.  A 180 acre nature reserve or a forest is green - not a 180 acre business park.
