    Are they the ones off Leach Hwy near Cloverdale?  Saw them briefly the other day and thought them interesting.

    I can see them from Temperly Close in Welshpool... They would be towards Leach Hwy.

    wind turbine, airflow leads to lift going in a horizontal angle, centripital force brings the next "wing" into airflow. the oblique curve maximizes this continuing motion at low wind speeds but reduces output at high speed.

Bear with me though, this journey is worth it. Before we begin, I'm going to take you on a small flight of fancy. Imagine, if you will, that an honest English Cheddar decided to take a holiday on the Continent, and found itself in Switzerland. Maybe seeking some great waterfall to encounter a perilous foe, it instead meets a sweet and charming Emmental. Romance blossoms, the Cheddar settles - foe forgotten, and the two have a child. Roll forward a dozen years and a few more, and this is Raclette. The bitter-edged teenager child - probably miffed that Cheddar failed to find and defeat that foe. Raclette is a cheese...
