Dr. John Yelland, Island physicist and electrical engineer, will be presenting his talk, ‘Are we throwing caution to the wind?’ on 12 Novemeber.
In it he will put his case for a science-based energy policy.
Of particular local interest will be his inclusion of the Parkhurst Forest turbine application, for which there will be no Planning Committee decision until early next year.
Full details of the event: Cafe Scientifique: John Yelland.
An objective method for evaluation of the sanitary nuisance of wind turbines
Introduction:
It is easy to establish oneself if we are sensitive to the infrasonic vibrations. In a normal room where the only opening at the time of the test is the door, shake this door on some centimeters, without banging her, in the frame. We create a frequency of the same type as that of the big wind turbines.: approximately 3 hertzes and with more than 125 decibels (!) two minutes are enough for feeling the effects if we are sensitive.
Test of harmfulness of wind turbines:
The lack of sleep is the main complaint of the victims of wind turbines. Doctor Rachel LEPROULT ( rachel.leproult@ulb.ac.be ) measured the effect of the lack of sleep on the duration of the life and it is possible to lead a statistical study allowing to connect wind turbines and life expectancy.
In practice, it is enough to ask at homes of the 3rd age exposed to wind turbines (up to 10 km?), and not exposed, their accommodation facilities and the number of new residents every year.
If wind turbines shorten the life of the elderly, the rate of new resident is going to increase in contact with the number, the model and the distance of wind turbines. For a mathematician specialized in the field of the statistics, it is easy to highlight the difference with institutions shielded from the wind turbines which serve as reference. Mathematician having taught ” Statistics and Probability “, I am ready to make this work voluntarily.
