Windy yesterday, with intermittent rains as my umbrella (brand-Repel) which is advertised to be able to face wind gusts, gave up..
Still pretty windy to-day but a far cry from yesterday. There must be a way to harness all this wind energy. Come on guys, think of something.Windy yesterday, with intermittent rains as my umbrella (brand-Repel) which is advertised to be able to face wind gusts, gave up..
Not much I can think of, other than 1) Flying kites, which is prohibited here bcoz of Airport, 2)
Sailing, which I have not seen much around here, 3) 🪂 Sailing which I got a micro-taste of yesterday with my umbrella giving up 4)Sweeping dust off the roads, 5) Turbines to generate electricity/mechanical - which has potential but not portable enough to be installed in every home.But, I second ur thought: There might be a way to harness all or some of this wind energy.
Windy in my end on June 17 and 18. Tons of small branches with leaves attached to pick up. No really strong gusts like the last t storm that ripped a limb off the big maple in my back yard.
We have a blow up Heineken branded wading pool that looks like a bottle cap sitting in the back yard.
We use it when it is filled to alternate with the hot tub when things get real hot.
No water in it at the moment, and each morning it has been blown to a different corner of the yard.
I took the umbrellas down and slightly furled the clothes line to reduce things to damage other things if a really strong wind comes at the end of thus shifting weather pattern.

I have looked into wind power generation. I have a radio tower in the back yard, with a very strong top mast that I put up for my radio hobby. I can crank it up to 65'.
But adjacent trees are 50' tall, and you need to be higher than adjacent items higher than I am to make wind turbines make sense to spend the money on in GTA.
Now if you are somewhere like Kincardine the wind is mush more regular and the economies change quite a bit.

Yup loving the wind. When I drop a SBD silent and deadly fart the wind carries it into someone’s open mouth 10-20 feet away. I get away scot free knowing I have made them wonder who they wronged in life to be subjected to something so vile.
