That's right, the above formula is just the power of the wind, the amount of energy you are able to harvest from it does depend on the characteristics on the blade. The swept area is still a key factor. (see Betz limit for another interesting fact)

You are right about the second part, those 'tunnels' do catch all the wind of their area.

whage··on Sheerwind
don't be silly, you just claimed that it doesn't matter whether you have 3 meter blades or 30 meter ones. Of course the swept area matters.

P = 1/2 x ρ x A x v3 where ρ = air density, A = swept area and v = velocity of the wind

The swept area of regular wind turbines seems enormous compared to sheerwind's turbine's. Even the combined area of those 8 entrances look much much smaller. How in the world is this going to compete with those giants? What am I missing?

I wonder why they begin to settle there in the first place. After the first few houses were up, they were probably aware of the lack of sunlight. So why would they suddenly need it? Probably because it looks cool, which I agree with.

Only I think that all this 'leaving a name here' / 'leaving a stupid trail there' seems just way too stupid for someone maintaining such a business for so long? I think there is a decent chance that all of this was staged and Mr. Ulbricht is just another puppet. All of it just sounds so hilarious.
