    PNW "wind thinning" "windsail reduction"

    Thanks for digging it up Darin, I could have sworn I remember lateral and horizontal moving deflectors.

    PNW "wind thinning" "windsail reduction"

    Darin, you believe so yet you provide no link? You big tease. Erik. Indeed, I am all for discussing it, shooting holes in an experiment should be taken as professional interest and criticism, defense of theory or methods is welcomed.

    PNW "wind thinning" "windsail reduction"

    Erik, with his wind machine he had left and right deflection, somewhat random but I think the wind would still be vertically linear. I would love to see his video again to analyze his methods but it was just the once in a seminar that I had the chance, not sure if its in his downloadable stuff...

    PNW "wind thinning" "windsail reduction"

    Darin, indeed, he drove them around the track first, then made the ginormous wind generator and blew the heck out of them. Useful for empirical data on small trees but does it translate directly to larger specimens? I would find it difficult to gather data on a 15 foot douglas fir with and...

    PNW "wind thinning" "windsail reduction"

    re the windfirming, I hear more people debunking it as I go along. It doesnt change the fulcrum on the trunk, reduces wind that would be deflected around the tree and allows it to pass through the tree possibly increasing drag by increasing surface area exposed to wind, 'furring' out of Doug fir...
