#Underwater #turbine spinning for 6 years off #Scotland’s coast is a breakthrough for #tidal energy
Keeping #gridscale turbine in place in harsh #sea environment that long is a record that helps pave the way for bigger #tidalenergy farms and makes it far more appealing to investors, according to trade association #Ocean Energy #Europe. Tidal energy projects would be prohibitively expensive if turbines had to be taken out of the water for maintenance every couple of years.

Darauf warte ich seit Jahrzehnten! "Hexen geschändet und zu Tode gequält" endlich uncut auf 4K! Der zweite Teil von "Hexen bis aufs Blut gequält".

Ist natürlich vorbestellt, das wird ein Double Feature geben! Wie sagte Udo Kier noch passend zu Teil 1:

"Schöne Musik, eine Liebesgeschichte, ein Hexenjäger, einige werden verbrannt...ist doch wunderschön - eine Wohltat fürs Auge!"

wes.copernicus.orgGlauert's optimum rotor disk revisited – a calculus of variations solution and exact integrals for thrust and bending moment coefficientsAbstract. The present work is an amendment to Glauert's optimum rotor disk solution for the maximum power coefficient, CPmax, as a function of tip speed ratio, λ. First, an alternate mathematical approach is pursued towards the optimization problem by means of calculus of variations. Secondly, analytical solutions for thrust and bending moment coefficients, CT and CBe, are derived, where an interesting characteristic is revealed pertaining to their asymptotic behavior for λ→∞. In addition, the limit case of the non-rotating actuator disk for λ→0 is shown for all three performance coefficients by repeated use of L'Hôpital's theorem, and its validity is discussed in the context of other works since Glauert.
