Today we went toBKW ( Francesco´s fathers firma) to look at the wind park and the soalr zellen park. The teachers brought us there with the buses and also the car to the Canton Bern. Once there we ate our picnic and played for a bit. After mid-day the teachers put us in two groups with the two different leaders of the tour. We started the tour by seeing the wind park. In the wind park we to go inside one of the wind turbines- it was the 2nd biggest in their park and was 83m high ( I think ). We stayed on the ground floor but could see up the middle of it. To get to the top you had to go up a ladder with the safety equipment on, or in a "lift" that actually looked like a small cage. Even if you go in the lift you must still wear the safety equipment. At the bottom where we stood, there was a monitor showing how many Kilowatts were being produced and also how many time the propeller rotated in a minute.
The solar zellen was installed in 1991. They installed two different types of solarzellen. The newer model they have installed produces more electricity than the older ones.
In the end we had a surprise. We got to ride in a a carriage pulled by horses while we drank ice tea and ate waffles. Leonardo ate 5.
Did you know: The whole solarzellen park produces 1/3 less electricity than the turbines in the wind park.
