In recent years, there have been advancements in both on and offshore wind power in Pennsylvania. At least 1300 MW of wind power is currently [when?] installed at the 27 wind farms in Pennsylvania. [14] According to the U.S. energy information administration, 1 MW of wind power can power about 650 average American homes. [15]
Wind power showed potential for replacing natural gas in electricity generation on a cost basis. By 2021 wind energy produced 4872 terawatts-hour, 2.8% of the total primary energy production [51] and 6.6% of the total electricity production. [52] Technological innovations continue to drive new developments in the application of wind power.
Poul la Cour (13 April 1846 – 24 April 1908) was a Danish scientist, inventor and educationalist. Today la Cour is especially recognized for his early work on wind power, both experimental work on aerodynamics and practical implementation of wind power plants.
The Green Mountain Wind Energy Center was a wind power plant near Garrett, Somerset County, Pennsylvania with eight Nordex 1.3 MW turbines that began commercial operation in May 2000. [1] This was the first commercial wind farm constructed in Pennsylvania. [ 2 ]
A wind-driven whirligig transfers the energy of the wind into either a simple release of kinetic energy through rotation or a more complicated transfer of rotational energy to power a simple or complicated mechanism that produces repetitive motions and/or creates sounds. The wind simply pushes on the whirligig turning one part of it and it then ...
Although the banana as an exotic fruit was introduced to the American public in the 1880s, it was later in 1904, that the banana split was invented in the town of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, by 23-year-old pharmacy apprentice David Strickler, who was inspired to create a new sundae after seeing a soda jerk during a visit to Atlantic City.
