NW Washington | FWIW, here is the AI's version of how this windmill works in high-wind conditions.
AI Overview
In high wind conditions (above approximately 27 mph), the Koenders windmill head uses a self-governing design to automatically pivot away from the direct force of the wind, ensuring stability and preventing damage. The large tail provides the necessary control to adjust the windmill's orientation.
Here is how the mechanism works:
Tail mechanism The windmill's large surface tail area provides maximum control in all wind speeds.
Pivoting action When wind speeds become too high, the force of the wind on the main blades versus the tail causes the entire head assembly to rotate or "furl" on a rigid pivot tube, turning it sideways or at an angle to the wind.
Speed regulation By turning away from the direct wind, the rotational speed of the blades is controlled, which prevents the internal compressor from being over-stressed and the overall structure from "shaking itself to pieces".
Continuous operation This system allows the windmill to continue operating and producing air (albeit at a regulated speed) even during intense gusts, rather than needing to shut down completely.
This self-governing, passive system ensures the windmill is durable and can operate in a wide range of weather conditions with minimal maintenance.
