Wind and Sun Power Experiments by Professor Fessenden
Professor Fessenden, a Canadian, outlines experiments and theories showing wind and solar energy can generate electrical power. He proposes many windmills along England's cliffs could run railways factories and light stations cheaper than steam or gas, with solar power less effective but promising. He plans a 3000 horsepower plant in the United States with 300 foot diameter wind-vanes atop a 420 foot tower. The note adds China’s postal expansion from 1901 to 1908, with routes of 88 000 miles and offices rising to 3493.
