Wind Generators 2


     In the last exciting adventure of the wind towers, the mass of rebar and concrete had been covered, leaving a pad with threaded bars protruding.  To that pad, a pillbox has been added and a series of deliveries ensued.








     What’s in the box?  That’s easy.



    Ready for blastoff?  Then the BIG trucks arrived.



      The difficulty is to demonstrate how big this thing is.  Count the axles, each with 4 wheels.






    Turning corners requires the back axles to castor.  A little help from its own hydraulic system.



    Then they laid cable between sites.


     And finally, some blades arrived.





      Meanwhile, cranes dominate the western horizon doing their thing.



    The windmill forrest, as the Goodwife calls it, grows rapidly.
