  • Wind farm producing electricity at Tehachapi Pass, southern California. Wind Turbines. View of a wind farm with several wind turbines each with 3 spinning rotor blades. Wind power is used to drive a turbine for the generation of electricity. The electrical energy produced from a turbine is proportional to the cube of the wind speed. Thus, a 10-meter per second wind will produce 8 times more energy than a 5 meter per second wind. Wind turbines vary in size from large generators with a 1-3 megawatt capacity to small machines producing only a few kilowatts. (1989).

  • In the past, weavers of the Ura Valley village of Ura traded weavings for food to supplement the limited crops that would grow in the subsistence farmer's poor soil. Today, they might just as well be selling the weavings to a wholesaler or a passerby for currency to purchase the foods they need. The village has electricity now, powered by a hydroelectric plant. Work.  From coverage of revisit to Material World Project family in Bhutan, 2001.

  • Fearsome sawblades spinning, Pretty Hate Machine menaces the competition at Robot Wars, a two-day festival of mechanical destruction at San Francisco's Fort Mason Center. Organized by Marc Thorpe, a former Industrial Light and Magic model builder, the cybernetic slugfest spawned a six-week BBC-TV series and many similar events. Pretty Hate Machine is a middleweight-class machine; two wheelchair motors power a Rube Goldberg assembly of rods, rubber belts and saw blades. A real crowd-pleaser, Pretty Hate Machine was one of the few walking robots in a competition dominated by wheeled or tracked machines. California.
