Physical Plant Department Physical Plant Department Project Specifics  Modest reduction in campus CO2 output by 3,500 to 5,900 lbs. per year because of the wind turbine.  Due to location specifics, it is estimated that the turbine will generate 3,000 to 5,000 kilowatt- hours which is enough to power an new, energy efficient home for 12 months. The data logger, at the base of the tower, will collect data on wind speed, wind direction and kilowatts produced.

Physical Plant Department Physical Plant Department What is tidal energy? Tidal energy is one of the oldest forms of energy used by humans. Indeed, tide mills, in use on the Spanish, French and British coasts, date back to 787 A.D.. Tide mills consisted of a storage pond, filled by the incoming (flood) tide through a sluice and emptied during the outgoing (ebb) tide through a water wheel. The tides turned waterwheels, producing mechanical power to mill grain. We even have one remaining in New York- which worked well into the 20th century.
