28 wind turbine tests
When Du Yuesheng's handling of the matter reached the United States, Han Huaiyi was still at the southernmost tip of the San Francisco Peninsula.
It was a place called the Davidson Battery.
It's about 100 miles from downtown San Francisco and 60 miles from Cliff Lodge.
Feng Caihou's team of Chinese workers erected many "telephone poles" here, but this kind of telephone pole is different from ordinary telephone poles, it is thick at the bottom and thin at the top, there is something like a motor at the top, and then a huge three-bladed propeller is installed.
In addition, there is also a vertical blade at the top, like a cylinder shrouded in shape.
Han Huaiyi and Tesla have been busy here since the New Year.
After two weeks' work, 30 wind turbines on horizontal and vertical axes spread across the wilderness around Davidson Battery, and beneath these seemingly unconnected windmills were a continuous line buried deep underground to a power station.
There the current generated by a wind turbine with an unstable output is pooled into the reserve battery pack and then stabilized.
This is what Han Huaiyi and Rockefeller said and "robbed" tens of thousands of dollars from others.
Speaking of the working principle of the wind turbine is relatively simple, the wind wheel rotates under the action of the wind, it converts the kinetic energy of the wind into the mechanical energy of the wind turbine shaft, and the generator rotates to generate electricity under the drive of the wind turbine shaft.
So it's really not that hard for Tesla.
When night fell, the makeshift steel structure factory and the street lights on both sides of the road were lit up by the reserved electricity, Tesla told Han Huaiyi: "If this kind of project is not large-scale, it will not be worth the loss." ”
Of course Han Huaiyi knows this.
Although wind power is a renewable, clean and environmentally friendly energy source, it is currently much more convenient and cost-effective than diesel and site-specific hydroelectric motors.
But as Tesla said, once the scale is expanded, and the supporting facilities keep up, the wind turbine can exert its due "power".
The longer it passes, the greater the payoff it gets.
So Han Huaiyi told Tesla: "We first calculate which mode of wind turbine is more efficient, and then fix the performance of its mode in one step." ”
"And then?"
"I'm going to test this further in the streetlights and homes of San Francisco New Town, and I'll be working on it once I have the data, and John Sr. won't be idle." Han Huaiyi smiled evilly.
Doing things in the United States is also inseparable from connections, which is why he pulled in Rockefeller.
Next, since it was a specific observation, the next day, Han Huaiyi and Truss returned to the city first.
Only a small number of maintenance personnel and Feng Caihou's workers are left here, because they are going to build a second M food factory on the spot.
This is the logistics of the supermarket program.
San Francisco in 1907 was unique in the American economy, and compared to the city, the bustling city of New York, for example, was much more depressed due to European influences.
Even the Ford plant was greatly affected.
If Ford hadn't joined the PTR and made a lot of money on military sales, Ford would have fallen into a period of helplessness.
But that's all different now.
When Han Huaiyi returned to San Francisco through the beautiful farm, production at the Ford plant was still in full swing, and the entire West End of the peninsula became a large construction site.
Then he saw a telegram from Shanghai.
The telegram was sent by Melot.
He described Du Yuesheng's approach in this matter in detail, Melo was full of praise for it, and Han Huaiyi sighed after reading it.
This is Du Yuesheng, Du Yuesheng who can shine with a little sunshine.
Now that he has his back to the new Rome, he is destined to show more ability, and he is already on his way.
As for Du Yuesheng's handling of the Preparatory Constitutional Association, Han Huaiyi also strongly agreed.
Zheng Xiaoxu's house was full of food, and he didn't know how to go down in the quagmire, and he had to drag people into the water.
But this is the filth of the officials in the country, but whatever can be owned by me is good, and what cannot be used by me is the enemy, and I have to strike at it with all kinds of blows.
And they'll give you a high-sounding hat first.
As for whether it will work out or not, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that my will is unquestionable.
It is no wonder that everyone in the Chinese actually has a dream of being an emperor who follows me and dies against me.
After this incident, Han Huaiyi went to the Peninsula Hotel where Rockefeller was staying, and explained the forecast data given to him by Tesla to investors.
"A household's electricity consumption only costs $1 per year for battery fluid?" Rockefeller asked in surprise.
"Yes, but it has to be done at scale."
"When your measured data comes out, I'll have to take a look, and I have to say that the magician is indeed a genius. Of course, so do you. Rockefeller said.
His expression was a little solemn, Han Huaiyi didn't pay attention at first, he said: "Street lamps and home lighting can be used, or that sentence, you have to scale, let's take a step at a time, in short, there is no doubt about it as an auxiliary energy source." ”
Rockefeller immediately asked, "If it is so promising, why define it as an auxiliary energy source?" ”
"The wind is unstable, it has to be discharged by the battery, which obviously cannot be used in large-scale industry, and in addition, if you want to become large-scale, you must have a corresponding supporting system, and even renovate the city, the price here is not decades... Wait. ”
Han Huaiyi finally reacted, and he said, "Are you worried that this kind of wind turbine is too outstanding and will affect your oil empire?" ”
Rockefeller was a little embarrassed.
Han Huaiyi became bad, and he continued: "If it is indeed outstanding, will you even force me to ban the promotion of these causes in order to ensure your own interests at the expense of the future of all mankind? You wicked old man. ”
Old John yelled in embarrassment, "Shut up. ”
"Yo? Annoyed and angry, the bad old man is very bad. Han Huaiyi got up, and Rockefeller didn't deny it, he said: "Charlie, I want him to succeed but I don't want him to be too much, you know." ”
"Don't worry, John, as a friend, I promise you that if this matter affects your empire, you can press the pause button."
Han Huaiyi's words were really interesting, and Rockefeller sighed when he heard this: "Then I'll rest assured." ”
"That's because I don't want to be your enemy."
"I definitely don't want to be your enemy." John answered, and the two burst into laughter.
While they were discussing the matter of wind turbines, someone suddenly asked to see them.
Griffiths, who was already idle, took out the strength of the literary and artistic workers who would dare to fight the tiger, rushed into the hotel and roared at Han Huaiyi: "Boss, if I continue to be so idle, I might as well shoot those films!" ”
