Wind energy revolution: how the 1970s energy crisis fostered renewed interest in electric-generating technology
"It may sound simple. Fashion a set of blades, attach them to a generator, set the machine on top of a tower, and let the wind do the work of creating electricity. Not so. Most of these attempts fail, even with the availability of the latest technologies. In Wind Energy Revolution, Christopher...

| Zusammenfassung: | "It may sound simple. Fashion a set of blades, attach them to a generator, set the machine on top of a tower, and let the wind do the work of creating electricity. Not so. Most of these attempts fail, even with the availability of the latest technologies. In Wind Energy Revolution, Christopher C. Gillis Sr. examines the efforts to develop "small" wind generators for use at homes, farms, and ranches following the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo. Wind machines were once featured prominently on farms and homesteads throughout the Midwest of the United States and Canada during the late 1910s through the early 1950s in areas that had no access to overhead electric-power transmission lines. As a result of rural America's connection to the power grid, many of these pioneer wind-electric machines fell "victim" to electrical power lines. Interest in wind energy resurfaced in the early 1970s when energy shortages were created by the Arab Oil Embargo, the rise of environmentalism, and the move toward self-sufficient, off-the-grid living. Early wind-electric machines were dusted off and restored back into service, while several former manufacturers reemerged, and entrepreneurs developed new designs. Political and societal interest in renewable energies-wind and solar-began to wane in the early 1980s and did not return until the late 1990s. Even so, the developments in the 1970s influenced how Americans subsequently viewed and used renewable power. Wind Energy Revolution is a first-of-its-kind comprehensive history for historians and anyone interested in wind as a viable renewable resource"-- |

Fashion a set of blades, attach them to a generator, set the machine on top of a tower, and let the wind do the work of creating electricity. Not so. Most of these attempts fail, even with the availability of the latest technologies. In Wind Energy Revolution, Christopher C. Gillis Sr. examines the efforts to develop "small" wind generators for use at homes, farms, and ranches following the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo. Wind machines were once featured prominently on farms and homesteads throughout the Midwest of the United States and Canada during the late 1910s through the early 1950s in areas that had no access to overhead electric-power transmission lines. As a result of rural America's connection to the power grid, many of these pioneer wind-electric machines fell "victim" to electrical power lines. Interest in wind energy resurfaced in the early 1970s when energy shortages were created by the Arab Oil Embargo, the rise of environmentalism, and the move toward self-sufficient, off-the-grid living. Early wind-electric machines were dusted off and restored back into service, while several former manufacturers reemerged, and entrepreneurs developed new designs. Political and societal interest in renewable energies-wind and solar-began to wane in the early 1980s and did not return until the late 1990s. Even so, the developments in the 1970s influenced how Americans subsequently viewed and used renewable power. Wind Energy Revolution is a first-of-its-kind comprehensive history for historians and anyone interested in wind as a viable renewable resource"-- Geschichte 1970-2000 gnd rswk-swf Ölkrise (DE-588)4172430-6 gnd rswk-swf Technischer Fortschritt (DE-588)4059252-2 gnd rswk-swf Erneuerbare Energien (DE-588)4068598-6 gnd rswk-swf Energietechnik (DE-588)4014725-3 gnd rswk-swf Windenergie (DE-588)4079329-1 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Wind power / United States / History Wind turbines / United States / Design and construction / History / 20th century Small power production facilities / Technological innovations / United States / History / 20th century Énergie éolienne / États-Unis / Histoire Petites centrales électriques / Innovations / États-Unis / Histoire / 20e siècle TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / History HISTORY / United States / 20th Century Wind power Wind turbines / Design and construction United States 1900-1999 History USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Windenergie (DE-588)4079329-1 s Erneuerbare Energien (DE-588)4068598-6 s Ölkrise (DE-588)4172430-6 s Energietechnik (DE-588)4014725-3 s Technischer Fortschritt (DE-588)4059252-2 s Geschichte 1970-2000 z DE-604 Bergey, Michael (DE-588)1338313371 aui Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-64843-063-3 Tarleton State University southwestern studies in the humanities No. 30 (DE-604)BV001348469 30 Digitalisierung Deutsches Museum application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=034717024&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
