Understanding Wind Power Variability in Crowsnest Pass

AI Thread Summary
Wind power generation in Crowsnest Pass is inherently variable and may be affected by climate change, raising concerns about future wind availability. Some argue that wind patterns could change, potentially leading to less consistent wind resources. However, others believe that wind will continue to flow through the area despite climate fluctuations. The design of wind turbines, featuring variable pitch blades, allows them to operate efficiently across different wind speeds. Overall, while there are uncertainties regarding future wind patterns, many remain optimistic about the reliability of wind energy in the region.

The wind power that is generated using the wind mills in a wind tunnel like the crowsness pass can't be constant. How can the amount of wind be counted on because with gloabl warming maybe wind will not be as often in the future?

"because with gloabl warming maybe wind will not be as often in the future?" The blades on a windmill have a variable pitch and they can spin with the same speed in light or heavy winds. I would think that wind speed would pick up during changes of climate.
Where did you get your information?I don’t think this is correct.

Don't worry, the wind will always blow through the Crowsnest Pass regardless of any climate change! Same as Lethbridge!
 

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
