this is looking directly up at the windmill from the base. those blades are about 90 ft long. when they're spinning you can hear them cut through the air. it's amazing.

windmill farms in west Texas?

yeah, check the other windmill threads. they're a few miles south of abilene off 277. it's really a cool site to see out there.

Was it Loud?

actually, no. it's not very loud at all. you could hear some faint buzzing coming from inside the windmill, and you could hear the blades cutting through the air, but none of that was loud.

There was one installed in the Mountains of North Caroloina back in the late 70's ... It was dismantled because of noise ... must have better fan blade technology these days ... Thanks.
