hey, it’s me again asking for help :)
i need this for my global perspective homework.
oh yes, i need an answer to this question as well: Can WAVE power be mass produced?

    Drawbacks of mass production:
    1. Comes at the expense of food production costs in most instances
    2. Has intermittent electrical supply.
    3. Noise and obstruction issues for migratory birds.
    4. Requires fossil fuels to construct and maintain the wind farm infrastructure.

    Tidal has been considered many times and has usually come up as uneconomic since you need a lot of equipment over a very large area to use (straight) wave power or a massive enhancement to the vertical rise/fall characteristics (read massive steel and concrete needs).

    Put up enough wind turbines, yes

    It could be but only if problem of wind inconsistency would be solved (with the help of large wind farms where many large-scale wind projects would be connected into one huge wind farm). Wave power has huge potential but its development is still at infant stage of growth.

Hi, I’m Erik Astrand and the man behind this site.

My story?
I am about to be 50 and all my life I have been interested in technical things. Not sure if the special interest for the wind, and how to use the wind, started when I as a 5 year old boy and got my first sail dinghy.

Anyway, wind power and to build my own wind generator was a dream for several years. I studied many websites and also bought many courses before I finally built my own windmill. This site is about that journey and you will also find some more general articles about wind power.

Enjoy! and check out the about me page to read more.
