A friend shared some Northern Ontario raven lore I was unfamiliar with until now. He remarked that he had seen a raven with a stick in it's mouth a few days prior to last weekend. Common ravens are apparently considered to be harbingers of spring, often beginning to build or repair their massive stick nests in late February, well before many other birds, which coincides with the transition from winter to an early spring. Hang in there guys, almost there. The snow depth though!

#MastoArt #raven@kissinglass Oh, that is lovely! And thanks for the lore, too. I'll keep an eye out.

@kissinglass let me know what you think of it!

Wind Power Is Taking Off In Chinaâ All The Way to 2000 m AGL
2000 m above ground level (AGL), winds are stronger and much, much more consistent than they are at surface. Even if the Earth were a perfect sphere, thereâd be a sluggish boundry layer at the surface, but since itâs got all these interesting bumps and bits and bobs, itâs not just sluggish but horribly turbulent, too. Getting above that, as much as possible, is why wind turbines are on big towers. Rather than build really big tower, Beijing Lanyi Yunchuan Energy Technology Co. has gone for a more ambitious approach: an aerostat to take power from the steady winds found at high altitude. Ambitiously called the Stratosphere Airborne Wind Energy System (SAWES), the megawatt-scale prototype has recently begun feeding into the grid in Yibin, Sichuan Province.
The name might be a bit ambitious, since its 2000 m test flight is only one tenth of the way to the stratosphere, but Yibin isnât a bad choice for testing: as it is well inland, the S2000 prototype wonât have to contend with typhoons or other ocean storms. The prototype is arguably as ambitious as the name: its 12 flying turbines have a peak capacity of three megawatts. True, there are larger turbines in wind farms right now, but at 60 m in length and 40 m in diameter, the S2000 has a lot of room to grow before hitting any kind of limit or even record for aerostats. Weâre particularly interested in the double-hull constructionâ it would seem the ring of the outer gas bag would do a good job funneling and accelerating air into those turbines, but weâd love to see some wind tunnel testing or even CFD renderings of whatâs going on in there.
A rear view shows the 12 turbines inside the double hull. It should guide air into the gap, but we wonder how much turbulence the trusses in there are making.
During its first test flight in January 2026, the system generated generated 385 kilowatt-hours of electricity over the course of 30 minutes. That means it averaged about 25% capacity for the test, which is a good safe start. Doubtless the engineers have a full suite of test flights planned to demonstrate the endurance and power production capabilities of this prototype. Longer flights at higher capacity may have already happened by the time you read this.Flying wind turbines isnât a new idea by any means; a few years ago we featured this homemade kite generator, and the pros have been in on it too. Using helium instead represents an interesting design choiceâon the plus side, its probably easier to control, and obviously allowing large structures, but the downside is the added cost of the gas. It will be interesting to see how it develops.
Weâre willing to bet it catches on faster than harvesting wind energy from trees.
