Pub Crawl 2008

15 Mar

It was almost one week ago now.

The idea was to visit a lot of pubs and clubs and drink one drink for free (or more if you could get more than one pocket of tickets :-D — don’t look at me like that!)

Everything started at the student house in the city centre by a nice concert

And then the serious stuff start … The drinking part the visiting part.

It was a really nice evening, isn’t it Johan? :-D

Out of control Wind Turbine

03 Mar

A wind turbine converts the wind energy into electrical power. When the wind is to strong (about ±25m/s – 90km/h), the wind turbine is supposed to put itself in safe mode (the blades must be parallel to the wind)

But what can happen, if the variable pitch control does not work properly during a storm? The following videos were recorded on February 22nd 2008 during a storm in Hornslet near Aarhus/Denmark

Sunday trip to Ribe

03 Mar

In the middle of the afternoon of a windy (very windy) and cold (very cold) Sunday, we decided to go to Ribe.

We made many mistakes by choosing this day. First, a Sunday, everything is closed everywhere in Denmark, then in the middle of the afternoon, same problem, everything should be more or less closed, and then … the bad weather.

Anyway, it was nice to visit the city a little bit, and then go to the Viking Centre (which was free – I still cannot forget the 75DKK we paid last year :-D )

We ended the day by a nice buffet all you can eat at the Chinese restaurant of Esbjerg.

Here some pictures,
