This thread made me go on a research tangent about why new windmills have 3 blades, even though the old ones that milled flour had 4. It's because less blades means less drag, but 1 or two blades would be too unbalanced and vibrate too much.
Then I found out about bladeless turbines which are just giant vibrators lol.
Imagine seeing a bunch of giant vibrators on a countryside somewhere. Clearly the retvrn guy is wrong, the future of wind turbines could be pretty goofy and fun.
