Abstract
- The article presents information on wind turbines that run anticlockwise. It mentions that air that pushes against the blades of the upwind device, and gets them to rotate, clockwise, is itself deflected by those blades in the other direction. It also mentions that the sun's rays heat the ground, that heats the nearby air, and rises in whorls of turbulence, resulting in a well-mixed boundary layer that behaves in the same way at all altitudes.
