Is This Wind Turbine a Scam? Let’s Do Some Math.
Assume the turbine presented here is 1.5 meters tall, as shown, and let’s say 0.5 meters wide, meaning that its swept area is 0.75 square meters if it were refashioned into a standard bladed turbine, spinning in a circle, with a radius of 0.488 meters.
Let’s round that off to 0.5 and plug this into this wind power calculator, showing that you’ll get 10 KWs from it if the average wind speed is a bit over 84 MPH. That’s quite a breeze.
Since the power derived from a wind turbine is proportional to the cube of the wind speed, an average speed of 7-8 MPH, which exists everywhere outside of the plains states, will get you about 10 Watts, enough to charge your phone if you leave it plugged in 11 hours per day.
If that sounds like a bargain, by all means, jump on in. Even with the feeble level of math intelligence in our country, I’m not sure Americans will be lining up to buy, but 0ne never knows.
All this is fine, but we need specifics that juries can use to send this traitor to prison for life.
One of the problems with living in today’s insane society is that it’s hard to know the difference between comedy and real journalism.
U.S. founding father Thomas Paine’s thought here is a noble one indeed.
The author of the meme here isn’t the only one with this dream, or at least a variation on its theme.

What’s the most obvious motive for the guilty pleas in the Fulton County, Georgia case against 19 defendants accused of conspiring to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election? It’s that these criminals wish to avoid time in federal prison, and each has been offered that option in exchange for their testifying against others.

Anyone, regardless of his position on the consumption of animal meat–beef, pork, and the rest, has to admit that all this stuff tastes really good.
