Wind Power Takes Off at Peljesac
Truly exciting news is coming from Croatian media!
It seems that the first wind farm in our Dubrovnik-Neretva County will be built at Peljesac Peninsula!
The location will be at the hills above Ponikve (a small village near Ston) between hamlets Boljenovi?i and Dan?anj.
This wind farm will be the third one that is built in Croatia. Other two, already in use, are Sibenik - Wind Farm on Trtar-Krtolin hill (Vjetropark Trtar-Krtolin) and wind farm Ravne I at Island of Pag.
Allegedly, the new Peljesac Wind Farm project (Peljesac Vjetropark) is in the phase of obtaining all necessary paperwork, and building work is expected to start next year.
The wind farm will be built by German-Croatian wind farm planners and wind energy company Enersys and the cost is expected to be about 35 million Euros (loads of zeros!)
Peljesac Wind Farm / Wind Park will be the biggest one yet to be built in Croatia . It will have 17 wind generators with power of 34 MW.
They will produce 100 GWH per year, which is enough energy to cover all energy needs for about 30000 homes ? so the whole area of Dubrovnik- Neretva County can have this enviromentally friendly electricity 
Each wind turbine pillar will be 65 meters height . The turbines / rotors / ellipse will have diametar 70 meters .
I checked Enersys website www.enersys.info and found some really nice images of wind farms.
Here is another, arty one:

Very good news indeed…

10 Schietti’s magnetic wind plant delivered
The magnetic wind plant
Since it doesn?t require force of gravity, fuels, particular weather conditions and external interventions is perfect for spaceships.
Well, take an ordinary wind fan and change it a little bit.
Replace the blades with ordinary steel bars and put some iron stuff (electromagnetically sensitive) on top of it.
Around the fans, on the outside, put a wheel of electric magnets just like Christmas blinking lights.
When one goes out the following one has to glow and so on.
You have to switch three of them on connected with the three blade ends which are electromagnetically sensitive.
When the following one is lit up, the blade will be attracted and start to move.
At the same time the blade reaches the following magnet, it?ll go out and the following one will be turned on.
The bigger the fan, the stronger the lever induced by its movement.
The energy needed to make the magnets work, according to the size of the blades, will be 5-10-15 times smaller than that produced by the turbine.
By increasing the diameter of the circle you?ll inevitably reach the breaking point of inertia, therefore the magnets will manage to move the blades, maybe of just some millimetres.
Than, by increasing the speed of ignition of the following magnet, the speed of sinning of the blades will increase consequently along with energy production, while consumption will be of three magnets only.
In fact, since electromagnets turn on and off one after the other, 3 of them remain turned on each time. Therefore, the consumption is always given by the energy needed to activate 3 electromagnets, nothing more.
If 10 electromagnets turn on and off one after the other in a second, if the electromagnet has an attraction force of 1 Kg, the force applied will be of 10 Kg in one second: 1 Kg per ignition.
That is, each time the following electromagnet turns on, a force of 1 Kg is again applied.
The quicker the following electromagnet turns on, the faster the blade will turn thanks to bigger force.
The energy consumption to turn the electromagnets on will always be the same.
Yet, by increasing the ignition speed of the following magnet, the force applied will increase as well and consequently the speed of blade spinning and the speed of energy production too.
The sample built by Zamboni and given to the Istituto di Fisica of Rome

Zamboni?s battery is similar to Volta?s column battery, but, instead of metal disks of copper and zinc, there are paper disks of two types, named gold and silver: the first ones are made of copper, the others of an alloy of zinc and tin. Since paper gets wet when in contact with air, it?s not necessary to alternate the metallic couples with the disks soaked in acid salt spring. The disks are put on an aluminium central rod with a hook at the end. The battery is able to supply low intensity current. Yet, advantage is due to the opportunity to stack a high number of thin disks.
A Zamboni?s continuous electrogenerator, which activates a clock, has been working for 150 years at the Cavendish Laboratory (Oxford)
The drawing of Schietti?s Engine with sliding bulkheads

The sliding bulkheads may be activated by Zamboni?s battery. We wouldn?t be the first to do that
Baumann?s 750Kw electrostatic generator start working in 1980 in Liden (Switzerland) to supply an entire village with the needed daily energy and it uses a generator which is similar to Zamboni?s.
Yet, a bigger effectiveness is given by turning on the magnets of the Magnetic Wind Plant with Zamboni?s batteries
- What guarantees do you offer about the functioning of Schietti?s engine?
- The same guarantees offered by Archimedes when he said that he might raise the world with a lever. Or by Torricelli (horror vacui) when he stated that the water in wells goes up until 10 metres since it is attracted by the void and is pushed by the atmospheric pressure. Or by Zamboni with his electro generator activated by his batteries.
Ten metres are not 10 centimetres, it?s a big leap and you can make a lot of energy out of it.
The world is pretty heavy and if you put an air tank to compress below, you?ll obtain a big amount of air to put into a huge cylinder full of water with the simple effort of one person. The useful work is huge.
Zamboni?s batteries work very well and produce good magnetic fields to work Magnetic Wind Plants.
