2025-12-03 WATER FILES ADDED

Posted on by

I’ve just added about two dozen files to the Wind and Water Category. They are all directly Water related. I’ve also updated the ZIP file to include the new files.

I have considered splitting that Category into two separate Categories and had that suggested many time but always decide against it.

A lot of folks bring up the subject of Wind Power for Electrical Generation. As recent history has demonstrated, rather conclusively, to anyone who really bothers to look Wind Power as a primary electrical source is a complete and truly epic failure.

For an off-grid cabin with a battery room? Sure. For a sailboat in mid-Ocean? Fine.

As a source of RELIABLE and predictable power on land able to power an industrial economy… not so much. A lot of countries have spent hundreds of billions of dollar building truly awesome windmills only to discover that they still had to keep conventional power generation facilities operating to provide reliable and constant power to their industrial economy not to mention to People’s homes in winter. Some were foolish enough to shut down those conventional sources resulting in blackouts and brownouts across many of their countries. You can shut a factory down when power fails. Not so much heating in People’s homes in mid winter in northern Europe.

I’ve also been highly entertainer by the way ardent Environmentalists who push Wind Power always suddenly go silent and look distinctly uncomfortable when asked about the elephant in the room of disposing of the several hundred feet long, up to 26 tons blades made of fiberglass when they wear out. As of now they just continue piling up in fields all across the world and everyone just pretends the problem doesn’t exist and looks the other way.

So I’m not wasting time looking for Wind Power books related to Electrical generation. Most Wind Power use in pre-electrical days was used for pumping water. That’s what I look for. Most of the materials, supplies and electronics needed for wind generated electricity won’t be available after an EMP or some other event that takes down the Grid.

I’m currently working on some additional files for Soap, Brewing and Sulphuric Acid and should have those cataloged and added sometime during the next week.

I have a pretty large backlog of files I’ve found here and there and had sent to me by folks. Now that the winter is here and weather is not great for outside work I have more indoor time to work on the files. I’m going to try to work on them regularly until I get caught up. Life has a way of messing up plans but I’ll do the best I can.
