Windship Farm, Inc.
New ideas for clean energy
Windship Farm was incorporated in November, 2021 with the goal of creating mobile wind platforms by installing wind turbines on the decks of 5 disused supertankers and storing the generated power in onboard Tesla battery packs.
Once the battery packs are fully charged, taking approximately 32 days, the ships will dock anywhere supertankers dock today, then connect their 420 kV subsea cable to onshore facilities to discharge their stored energy into the power grid.
The project will use proven technology currently in production today, such as the Tesla Powerpacks and GE wind turbines, to produce a new type of offshore wind-energy platform.
When the supertankers are scrubbed clean of any petroleum residue and the diesel engines are replaced with Corvus Blue Whale Electric power plants, Windship Farm will have a zero carbon footprint.
The Sea of Tranquility 2.0
The Sea of Tranquility 2.0 is a project to fill a desert basin with seawater creating an inland sea the size of Lake Victoria. The water will flow into the lake through twelve three-meter wide pipelines using gravity-flow.
Siphons have been used since Roman times to move large volumes of water without the use of any energy other than gravity.
The Aqueduct of the Gier was built by the Romans in the second century and carried water 85 kilometers to Lyon, France, supplying the city with 24,000 cubic meters of water every day. It made use of 4 siphons to move the water and it was in use for almost 300 years.
The Marked Tree Siphon constructed in 1939 on the St. Francis River in Arkansas, has been in continual use for over 80 years. Its 3 pipelines are 9 feet in diameter and 228 feet long.
The Malheur River Siphon in Oregon is an eighty-inch steel pipe running four and one-half miles. It has been in operation since 1940.
The Sea of Tranquility 2.0 siphon will be 260 miles long and consist of 12 nine-foot diameter pipes carrying 1.2 billion gallons of seawater a day.
