The More Perfect Nation
When one of the branches of government is pinned down by the other two such as
when Iran And Iraq tried to pin down Kuwait in such a way as to render it
dysfunctional, political ramifications pertaining to things like careers or say
money and to see the disintegration of anything that matters such as government
or, "that which governs least, governs best" and all the heroic virtues in the
history of our nation's past have been replaced with crime and corruption, maybe
it's time to stop referencing a pipe dream that has long since been forgotten
and has no reference to who we are as a people and admit that answers may not be
in the conquering of a governmental branch but an alternative threshold to
stand on to gain a better perspective of likening to the better of two evils and
completing the circle of favoritism by the disunification of the two belligerent
branches and a solidification of another union to be challenged again and again
in the evolution of a more perfect nation.

Inside the Wind Turbine

- Anemometer:
- Measures the wind speed and transmits wind speed data to the controller.
- Blades:
- Most turbines have either two or three blades. Wind blowing over the blades causes the blades to "lift" and rotate.
- Brake:
- A disc brake, which can be applied mechanically, electrically, or hydraulically to stop the rotor in emergencies.
- Controller:
- The controller starts up the machine at wind speeds of about 8 to 16 miles per hour (mph) and shuts off the machine at about 55 mph. Turbines do not operate at wind speeds above about 55 mph because they might be damaged by the high winds.
- Gear box:
- Gears connect the low-speed shaft to the high-speed shaft and increase the rotational speeds from about 30 to 60 rotations per minute (rpm) to about 1000 to 1800 rpm, the rotational speed required by most generators to produce electricity. The gear box is a costly (and heavy) part of the wind turbine and engineers are exploring "direct-drive" generators that operate at lower rotational speeds and don't need gear boxes.
- Generator:
- Usually an off-the-shelf induction generator that produces 60-cycle AC electricity.
- High-speed shaft:
- Drives the generator.
- Low-speed shaft:
- The rotor turns the low-speed shaft at about 30 to 60 rotations per minute.
- Nacelle:
- The nacelle sits atop the tower and contains the gear box, low- and high-speed shafts, generator, controller, and brake. Some nacelles are large enough for a helicopter to land on.
- Pitch:
- Blades are turned, or pitched, out of the wind to control the rotor speed and keep the rotor from turning in winds that are too high or too low to produce electricity.
- Rotor:
- The blades and the hub together are called the rotor.
- Tower:
- Towers are made from tubular steel (shown here), concrete, or steel lattice. Because wind speed increases with height, taller towers enable turbines to capture more energy and generate more electricity.
- Wind direction:
- This is an "upwind" turbine, so-called because it operates facing into the wind. Other turbines are designed to run "downwind," facing away from the wind.
- Wind vane:
- Measures wind direction and communicates with the yaw drive to orient the turbine properly with respect to the wind.
- Yaw drive:
- Upwind turbines face into the wind; the yaw drive is used to keep the rotor facing into the wind as the wind direction changes. Downwind turbines don't require a yaw drive, the wind blows the rotor downwind.
- Yaw motor:
- Powers the yaw drive.
