Yeah I've heard of them from the Siemens guys here. Would be neat to see. There are some larger ones being developed for land but these already require about 50 acres to prevent wind being "stolen" from their neighboring turbines.

And remember.. we can still spread the rumour that they don't 'collect' wind but.. produce it. :Hypnotized:

 

Talking about chemtrails,this is a real big one.

Looks amazing.

Those windmills remind me of this:

I'm going with a new theory that the more Windmills we produce, the more it will increase the coefficient drag on the planet. Therefore it will slow the rotation of Earth over time, or speed it up....I haven't decided yet. :Thinking:

Someone going: "Dude, if we mixed some aluminium into jet fuel, we could like totally stop global warming!" is not evidence of a chemtrail conspiracy. The only thing a patent means is that there was no prior art. You don't have to actually prove it would work.

Cloud seeding exists. It is not evidence of a chemtrail conspiracy.

 

 

 

Which parts of the 'global warming industry' are making zillions of dollars exactly? Last I checked working for an oil company pays a lot better than working for Greenpeace . I will agree with you that there is a lot of nonsense being spouted on both sides of the global warming debate though.

My personal hypothesis on conspiracy theories is that people prefer to believe they live in an ordered universe, rather than in a place where things just happen due to random chance. The main problem I always have with conspiracy theories (apart from the lack of proper reasoning) is that they would require governments to exhibit a level of competence that they never show anywhere else. Governments are run by people just like us, not by perfect superhumans.

 

 

 

Pretty unique indeed. Given the colour of the surrounding sky it looks like the plume was the right height to reflect the setting / rising sun, which can make contrails pretty orange / red looking. (See also the 'LA missile' nonsense last year).

:lol: Liking that one, might use it as well.

 

*Dons tin foil hat*

Matthew has a point. We should watch that one. What about reverse-thrust then?

I saw this thread awhile ago and thought when I find this clip I'll post it:

 

I'm looking at 'Purple Rain' at a whole different angle now.

Perhaps I'm missing something. What exactly does the topic have to do with Flight Simulation?

Erm, it's in the 'Hangar Chat' area so doesn't have to be about anything to do with planes, flight sims or the like...
