Coal Creek OHV Area Windmill Project
 |
This is the vehicle that will be used to haul the Windmill parts to the top of the mountain. |
 |
That is one long telephone pole. They actually used it for a test run up the mountain to make sure the blades of the windmills would be able to make the tight turns up "P1" |
 |
The wheels on the trailer actually turn with tow vehicle. |
 |
Even the back tires can turn opposite of the front. |
 |
Here are the windmill blades still on the train car. |
 |
A look at the blades from the other end. |
 |
These are the generators that connect to the blades that produce the electricity. |
 |
The generators weigh in at 225,000 pounds each. |
