Power, Sound and a stunning Image! 

The sheer power and sound of the five wind turbines are very impressive in itself. To see such a powerful image in the wheat right next to the middle wind turbine is awe inspiring. A very strong statement indeed.

A pilot friend of Dai's from Swindon called him to say he had discovered a crop circle in wheat right next to one of the five wind turbines at the Watchfield Wind farm near Shrivenham yesterday (1st of Aug).  So when the sun came out this afternoon he flew up there for photos. 

I've PhotoShopped out a very wide seed drill line which cut through about half of the formation.

How to explain the two numbers 18 and 14?


While many different explanations of Watchfield Wind Farm might be possible, we still need to explain why they showed us the two numbers "18" and "14" attached to three gear-like balls, then drew that in a field next to a long series of white windmills? The number 18 has been used repeatedly in 2008 as the number of years in any Saros eclipse cycle involving Earth, Sun and Moon. Following that same logic, there would be approximately 14 days from August 1 until an almost total lunar eclipse on August 16, 2008. Those windmills could be meant to symbolize "rotation" of any astronomical body about its own axis, or of our Moon about the Earth. Photo credit to John Montgomery.

I parked near the gates and walked up the road inside the gates, after a while there is a right turn and you can reach the formation without too much trauma to the crop.

This is an exquisite formation there are three cogs, two small driving the large central one. You definitely get the sensation of movement within the formation. There are nice spirals in the centre of the circles and an arrangement of tufts in the large circle. The lays and over lays and the walls are good. The connections where the circles join are also very good and seem to be almost a Mobeus Strip. Worth travelling the distance to see this one.

You may like to know the Watchfield Windfarm circle was situated on the site of the first ever green gathering festival. this info came from the horse drawn travellers living there.

Look at the photo at HERE

The shovel part sure looks like the crop circle. It even seems to have as many "blades" (18, perhaps 19-20). And this is to dig coal... Isn't it quite a statement to have a picture of a coal digging device next to some windmills, as they are competing energy sources? On the other hand, the crop circle could also be portraying a water mill...

When I looked at the Watchfield formation, right next to the wind turbine, I was immediately struck by the similarity of the outer rings of the three parts of the formation to the shape of a water turbine, so I Googled it and note that what I had in mind is a Pelton turbine.  This is a high-efficiency design that has been around for many years for hydro electric power.  If you paste the following words into Google and open the top link that Google produces you will see some illustrations:- 

Pelton turbine Wikimedia Commons 

The Wikipedia entry on Pelton turbines starts 

Pelton wheels are among the most efficient types of water turbines. It was invented by Lester Allan Pelton (1829-1908) in the 1870s, and is an impulse machine, meaning that it uses Newton's second law to extract energy from a jet of fluid. 

I have seen one on display at the hydro electric station at Mary Tavy on the western side of Dartmoor, which generates electricity from water flowing from the moor. (The one on display is actually the original one from when the hydro station was first built). 

This seems to me an interesting juxtaposition, right next to the wind turbine…..

On close examination of the wheels here, the old fashioned paddle wheel on the back of the Riverboat, stands out firmly. If the centre wheel was pushing a hydraulic fluid, it would then perfectly push and force the fluid into the adjacent chambers, as well, thus driving two  additional shafts. This would explain why they don't actually mesh together,  as the fluid forces this same type of action. Perhaps they are showing us a  new "wear saving" technique, for a new power generator ... enclosed with a  viscous type driving fluid. 

This system could easily be converted to accommodate four or six offshoot gears, depending on the power of the in-feed drive, quadruple-ing output. It's precisely the correct setup for intake to the offshoot gears (paddlewheels).

Also Michael Murray supposes that the two smaller 'cogs' or 'gears' in the formation, are driving the larger one & not the other way round? I will add also that the 'cogs', if that's what they supposed to represent, do not actually engage each other.

Just for your information, the three gears go in the same direction it seems, and they all have 18 teeth it looks like, with 14 dots in the middle of the middle one

UPDATE:

I made an error in the direction of the gears.  The outside gears have to go in opposite direction to the middle drive gear.  It is interesting that after I told my daughter about the windmill by the crop circle being most likely the middle one of five, you people posted the picture showing all five and I was right. :)  I know you must think I am a little weird, but that is okay.

Fourteen days from the beginning of 8-1-08 is August 14th or 15th (middle of month with full moon on 16th) which I call Phi-Days, because (Φ-1) x days in year, falls at that point and the 13th is also a phi-day, to me.

Just wanted to note on Aug 1 circle, with 18 divisions -- that's a multiple of 9 and 9 is not part of the sacred geometry lexicon.3,4,5 -- basic divisions.
 
3, 6, 12 ..
4, 8, 16 ...
5, 10, 20 ...

Any other non-multiple of these three number apparently lie outside the limitations of sacred geometry. Or so it seems. This has come up in other discussions on your page over the years. Exception might be 7, though I never pursued it. But 9 means you can trisect an angle which is supposed to be impossible. I love the impossible. What a great season. The wonder. I feel sorry for folks who feel fear or cynicism when these things appear. The fact that they are never reported in the press or in science journals all these years tells me these things are more real than reality itself. 

Thanks for all you do.

Just thought you may want to have a look at the images of wind turbine alternators here remarkable visual similarity to the recent circles!
