Take advantage of the Kamloops wind with a wind turbine!
Big or small, they can make a noticeable difference on your power bill!
Research of the cost effectiveness of upgrading to current wind energy technology (turbines) in Old Main, on the Thompson Rivers University campus, Kamloops, BC.
Take advantage of the Kamloops wind with a wind turbine!
About Me
- Brandon
- My name is Brandon, and I am currently attending the second year of my ARET (Architectural and Engineering Technology) program at TRU. My goal for this site is to get some productive feedback on my ideas, so that I can write an effective and functional essay over the next year.
Big or small, they can make a noticeable difference on your power bill!

"Best way" feels a bit too vague. I suggest you replace it with something like "what is the most efficient(sustainable? cost efficient? green?) option to harness wind energy".
ReplyDeleteI have a number of items i managed to get ahold of that you should find rather usefull:
ReplyDelete-A pdf copy of the most recent edition of the times magazine containing a great article on how denmark generates more power using wind turbines than it uses.(pg 65-70)
-The wind energy handbook, also as a pdf file, it looks very technical and is some 600 pages long.
-Wind and solar power systems, another large textbook in pdf format.
-renewable energy resources, a large textbook that has a chapter on solar energy.
all together they are only 23mb, so if you remind me on monday ill give them to you.
potentially a lot of reading...
hope they help
Anika, I'll ask Dale about it next opportunity I get.
ReplyDeleteIvory, do you have these saved on a flash drive or soemthing? I'd like to get these off of you!
