03 · The wind farm

62 machines
on a ridge.

Turbines stand where the terrain pushes air upward. Each turns its nacelle into the wind; the air passing through becomes visible.

04 · The machine

Three blades,
one curve
that never lies.

A 5 MW turbine starts generating at 3 m/s and stops above 25 m/s. Between these limits, power grows with the cube of wind speed.
