I thought some may find this interesting. When our RI Turbine had been running for awhile, I bumped into a guy up at the Turbine site and struck up a conversation with him. I am an engineer and had become
Enchanted with this machine. He had a connections with town government but I don't know what kind of connection.
He had a
Laptop in his car and showed me how he could link up with the Turbine....via WiFi or Cell Phone I don't know. He could access any parameter he wanted. The website he was accessing was the company in Canada that built the turbine. The builder was monitoring the turbine real time all the time. (They went bankrupt a year later)
He told me this access would be available online to any resident shortly. This Access never happened.
I suspect our
Town Planner inherited this Laptop. Weather the
Town Planner could
Control the turbine from the Laptop or not, is still speculation.
NB
PS: This was my Personal interaction with some of the people who built the turbine and local town officials who later managed it in the beginning. I had no connections and was just interested as an engineer.
