Since this is the General Discussion forum, I figured this question is fair game.
My car is at the bottom of the photo. The blades were definitely spinning!
So, if anyone can answer two questions, I would be very grateful:
1. How long are those blades?
2. How fast are those blades turning? (The video doesn't do the "whooshing" sound justice.). I now know how eagles die when they are hit by those things... (I just learned that I can't post video...)
I have to admit, my initial plan was to capture video at the very bottom of the blade travel, but I was completely fine where I was, and suddenly thought my camera angle would work out better. Call it chickening out, but the fact that I have a family suddenly became very important, and if I make the national news, I'd rather it not be because I won a Darwin Award.
That "cube" at the bottom of the photo? I estimate that it is 8 feet tall, and the posts around it are 5 feet tall. The box had "34,500 Volts" painted on it!
Lastly, no wind-turbines were harmed during the filming. There was no gate, and the only sign said, "Speed Limit 15MPH".
