Chapter 1435 1418. Wind Power Generation (45)
The final winning bid was of course the Pink Flower Language Marriage Design Institute. After Wang Bo released the answer, it inevitably aroused the regrets of other companies.
The five million deposit was sent immediately, and Adrian said that he would be stationed in Sunset Town in the future, and he would call his colleagues from Germany over immediately, and then began preparations for the wedding.
Adrian needs to survey the main venue of the wedding, which is Sunset Castle. Wang Bo said that there is no problem with the survey, but it is not enough to prepare now.
The castle was infinitely close to completion, and it could be provided to him before, but the decoration company felt that some places were not perfect, so they reworked and made minor modifications.
Some professional faculty and staff of Lincoln University have been transferred to Sunset Town. These people are not as busy as the students, and they are doing research.
As a result, some experts in physics discovered something useful for Sunset Town, that is, the utilization of wind energy.
Sunset Town is located at the starting point of the Southern Alps. The town is guarded by mountains. The wind is not strong, but the wind on the mountains is very strong.
Every time he climbs the mountain, Wang Bo's hair will be blown away. Now it is winter, and the cold wind is even more severe. The branches on the mountain blown all day are like raging waves.
Under such circumstances, several professors of physics, wind, dynamics and energy formed a research and development team, and then wrote a letter to Wang Bo, suggesting that he develop wind energy.
Wang Bo is not very thirsty for energy. At the beginning of the establishment of the town, Sunset Town, together with the construction of Highway No. 8, has already connected Aocheng to a mature power grid.
New Zealand has abundant energy and sufficient electricity, and Sunset Town has never experienced a power shortage problem.
However, no one thinks there is too much energy. After Wang Bo accepted the proposal, he began to understand this matter.
New Zealand has been developing wind resources, and as the world pushes towards renewable energy, the wind industry is at the forefront of development as a clean and truly green energy source.
Wind energy has many advantages. It is abundant, nearly endless, widely distributed, clean, and can moderate the greenhouse effect.
However, like any other industry, there are some problems in the development of wind energy.
The wind industry is constantly evolving technologically, resulting in bigger and better upgrades, which means that many older wind farms need to be decommissioned and retrofitted with newer equipment.
Unfortunately, the largest components of wind turbines, the blades, are completely non-recyclable.
Turbine blades are made of glass or carbon fiber composites. These materials are strong, lightweight and offer significant aerodynamic advantages, but they are nearly impossible to recycle.
Therefore, at the end of their life cycle, most of these blades end up in landfill.
According to one estimate, there will be 50,000 tons of blade waste by 2020, rising to more than 200,000 tons by 2034.
The situation is grim. There is only one industry in New Zealand that recycles exhaust turbine blades. The company shreds the blades and then mixes them with other waste to produce a compound.
However, the mixing process is a chemical process, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
That is to say, this company spends a lot of money when processing turbine blades. If it is not for the government's financial support, they will not do this work.
But looking at these discarded leaves, Wang Bo had some ideas.
The blades of windmills are very large, often tens of meters long or even tens of meters long. They are made very tough, so Pharaoh thinks that these things can be displayed as performance art.
With this idea, he called his men for a meeting to see if he could put this idea into action.
After listening to his words in the conference room, everyone was confused.
Hani asked: "Boss, aren't you going to build a windmill on the mountain? Why do you think of working on performance art again?"
Wang Bodao: "To build a windmill, unless it is invested by the state, the cost will be too high and the benefits will be too small. But this kind of performance art can achieve a win-win goal. I bet that the state will be happy to have someone help dispose of these discarded blades."
Charlie frowned and said: "I remember I read an information about this project. There was a school playground in the Netherlands that used waste for this thing. They used several rotor blades to cut and then made children's tunnels, towers, bridges, Hills and ramps and slides and stuff."
Old Wang said: "Yes, we need such a design!"
Conley searched the Internet for a while, and said: "There is a square in Norway called Willemsplein, and the public seats on the square are made of this stuff."
He turned the IPAD upside down for the crowd to see: "Look, nine of the full rotor blades are placed at different angles, creating an ergonomic communal seat with multiple seating options."
Wang Bo said: "Very well, we can set up some seats like this in the square, can't we?"
Looking at these huge blades, Bowen said: "Our statue stands on the square, don't you think it's a bit lonely? If you use windmill blades as a background wall for decoration, I think this is a good idea."
There is a lot of information about windmill blades on the Internet, and the city of Almere has built a durable bus shelter made of scrap turbine blades.
But Wang Bo didn't understand why the New Zealand government didn't use these good models to deal with the blades, but it didn't matter, Sunset Town could use these things.
Elizabeth contacted the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of the Environment and learned that they wanted a batch of discarded windmill blades. The Ministry of Energy responded enthusiastically and said that they would send them there immediately.
The town didn't need to pay, the transportation fee was paid by the Ministry of Energy, and then a total of twenty long blades were sent to Sunset Town by transport truck.
Wang Bo hired a professional designer to be responsible for these blades. They have many uses. For example, after welding the guardrails on both sides, put the blades under the tree house and use them as slides for the tree house.
The main function of the leaves is to be placed on the square as a stool, so that with the addition of a shade shed, it can solve the seating problem for many tourists.
The blades of the windmill are not only indestructible, but also have the advantage of being particularly smooth. Even if some dust falls on it, it can be wiped clean with a piece of paper, which is convenient for tourists to sit down.
As the blades were changed into ergonomic chairs, July came and the castle was finally completely completed. After nearly two years, Wang Bo was finally able to live back again.
In July, Wang Bo deliberately found a weekend to visit the completed new castle with his daughter and his family.
On the way, Eva teased her daughter and said, "Daddy, daddy, daddy, say daddy..."
Wang Bo was driving the car with a smile on his face, when a crisp and vague voice sounded: "Mmm, um, I'm afraid."
