It&#8217;s purpose is to use wind to produce energy for residents in New York City. I don&#8217;t know how many windmills were installed, but they are scattered all around for miles and miles. There is also a big substation that was installed just down the road from my parent&#8217;s home. The only thing I like about the substation is it looks really pretty at night as it has a ton of lights. I do wonder if the substation has any negative effects on the health of people who live in the area. The substation is right on top of several houses. I definitely would not want to live near it. <br \/>\nMany people who live near a windmill have complained about the noise. I can&#8217;t say I blame them. I wouldn&#8217;t want to live in an area that was once quiet and now has a constant background noise. On Sunday we drove by a windmill that was fairly close to the road. They are very scary looking. Each windmill is very tall and has three super long, sharp blades that turn. I think they are evil looking. <br \/>\nOn a positive note, windmills are a green energy alternative as they turn free wind into energy to use by people. <br \/>\nThere must be a lot of technology involved in converting wind into energy. Windmills definitely need to be built in an area that receives a large amount of wind. <br \/>\nThere is actually software called PredictWind at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.predictwind.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.predictwind.com<\/a> that gives wind forecasts. It provides wind weather updates every hour with a wind speed and direction map for your area. It is pretty accurate as it uses two data sources that produce two forecasts for comparison. You can also get access to 15,000 live wind observation stations located all over the world. PredictWind is a great tool for boaters, yachters and anyone else traveling by water. It uses different physics, parameters, and complex equations to calculate weather data such as wind speed, direction, temperature, pressure, rain and cloud. The model that PredictWind uses has been developed by a team of research scientists for over 25 years. It sounds like a very interesting piece of software.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A big windmill project was installed near my parent&#8217;s farm a few years ago.
