A SUGGESTION FOR FLUSHING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY PREZ9," 25th May. Sin-In the article signed “f,” in yesterday's issus of your valued paper I found something which I have thought of before. I mean the erection of flushing tanke on the high levels into which sea water must be pumped for flushing the drains. Now, what I would like to know is whether it would be possible and whether in the long ran it would not be much cheaper to use the natural wind-power for working the necessary pumps instead of steam engines swallowing big sams for fuel? In my opinion it ought to be possible in the following
wenter:
A number of modern wird-motors are erected at places on the Peak where they are woll ex- posed to winds from all directions. The wind power by means of dynamos is to be trans. formed into electricity, which is to conducted to the pumping stations, where it becomes the working power for the pumps. So the latter work as long as there is any wind. Of course the whole system has to be bailt on so big scale an umply to provide for a time when strong winds are wanting.
If the whole thing is possible at all, there is the prospect of ruing the water-power so gained also for other purposes; electric light, etc.
I do not know whether evor a trial has been made to use the natural wind-power on such large scale. but I; and I think some others, would be pleased very much by receiving the opinion of some technical man upon this subject, Enclosing my card. Yours, ote.
