Massachusetts 40 Years Of Wind Turbine Failures Starting On Cuttyhunk Island 1975

Wind Turbine Experiments From 1975 Caused Communication Problems From Cuttyhunk Massachusetts To Health Problems In Boone, North Carolina

There is plenty of evidence from 1975 wind turbines should never have been placed near residential homes in Massachusetts --

Massachusetts state politicians ignored 40 years of failed turbine installations that caused high-level electromagnetic interference (EMI) to radar and health problems.

The experiments took place from Cuttyhunk Island, Massachusetts,-- Block Island, Rhode Island and Boone, North Carolina. Today the wind turbines are still a catastrophic failure.

The evidence is 40 years old. The history shows wind turbines make people sick from a lack of sleep.

Nearby residents in the 1970s were annoyed by the low-frequency, acoustic impulses propagated into the structures in which the complainants lived. The complaints were headaches, fatigue, temporary feelings of dizziness, nausea etc.

Today the wind turbine complaints are worldwide. Those around the turbines describe the noise as torture from lack of sleep

Cuttyhunk Island (MA) had one of the world's first wind/diesel systems based on Danish Gedser turbine, rated at 200 kW. The wind turbne was taken down.

In the 1980s NASA and the US Department of Energy conducted wind turbine experiments around the country . Two of the findings were:

Experiment A. Boone,North Carolina 1985 the wind turbines frequencies cause headaches, ringing in her ears, insomnia and dizziness.

Experiment B, Block Island, Rhode Island 1979 the wind turbine frequencies shut down local television reception on the island. In order to continue the experiment on Block Island the residents had to be provided with cable TV to avoid interference

The annoyance was described as an intermittent "thumping" sound accompanied by vibrations.

In research supported by the US Department of Energy, Dr. Neil Kelly and his colleagues in 1987 identified impulsive low frequency noise. The wind turbine infra sound and vibration produced “ Human Annoyance “ within neighbors homes.

Special thanks are extended to the residents of Boone, North Carolina, particularly those near the MOD-l site who aided us in this investigation.

The bottom line these turbines used in the 1980s NASA , Dept of Energy Experiment were 200 Kilowatt wind turbines.

Today the Town of Falmouth has two 1650 Kilowatt wind turbines or what are called 1.65 Megawatt turbines.

The Falmouth wind turbines are eight times the size of the NASA experimental turbines and the Town of Falmouth owns two of them.

The federal government has known since the 1980s the frequencies produced by wind turbines are health hazardous and caused the shut down of television reception on Block Island, Rhode Island.
