Nicole SharpStrandbeest Evolution <a class="" href="https://fyfluiddynamics.com/wp-content/uploads/sbeest1.png" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a> <a class="" href="https://fyfluiddynamics.com/wp-content/uploads/sbeest2.png" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a> <a class="" href="https://fyfluiddynamics.com/wp-content/uploads/sbeest3.png" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a> Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests are massive, wind-powered kinetic sculptures designed to roam Dutch beaches. Conceived in the late 1980s as a way to kick up sand that would replenish nearby dunes, the beests have grown into a decades-long obsession for the artist and his followers. This Veritasium video charts the development and evolution of the Strandbeest from its original concept through Jansen’s increasingly self-sufficient versions. I found the leg linkage of the Strandbeest especially fascinating. How neat to find a relatively simply proportion of linkages capable of turning a small crank’s motion into a stable walking gait. Anyone else feel like building a miniature Strandbeest now?

However, a new study shows that something as frivolous as golf courses use up more land globally than solar or wind energy. Golf courses, which often serve a small number of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AffluentPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AffluentPeople</a>, are also terrible for the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environment</a> and use up a lot of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#water</a> and resources.Competition for space"The lush greenery you see on golf courses is a well-maintained lie. Golf courses use enormous amounts of water — sometimes in regions already facing shortages. Maintaining that flawless grass also means heavy reliance on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fertilizers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fertilizers</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pesticides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pesticides</a>, which seep into local waterways, harming# wildlife and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/polluting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polluting</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecosystems</a>. To make it even worse, golf courses are apparently competing with renewable energy for space."Every acre we allocate to one use is an acre less for another. Currently, more than 38,400 golf courses span the globe, occupying vast stretches of valuable land. Surprisingly, researchers from Germany’s Forschungszentrum Jülich found that countries (especially richer countries like the US, the UK, and Canada) dedicate far more land to golf courses than to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarFarms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarFarms</a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WindTurbines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WindTurbines</a>."Let’s put this into perspective. If you take the golf courses in just the top ten golfing countries and convert them into renewable energy, you’d get an extra 842 gigawatts (GW) of solar or 659 GW of wind capacity. And to put that into perspective, that’s more than the entire quantity of renewable energy these countries produce and are forecast to have for a few years.Replacing golf courses with something more useful isn’t a new idea, it’s already happening in some areas. In Japan’s Hyogo Prefecture, an entire golf course now hosts 260,000 solar panels, generating 125 gigawatt-hours annually. Meanwhile, in South Korea, 'screen golf,' indoor simulated golfing experiences, provide a popular, space-efficient alternative to traditional courses."Read more: <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/general/golf-courses-use-more-land-globally-than-solar-or-wind-energy/ar-AA1zHvIE" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/general/golf-courses-use-more-land-globally-than-solar-or-wind-energy/ar-AA1zHvIE</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Renewables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Renewables</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewablesNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RenewablesNow</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GolfCourses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GolfCourses</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rewilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rewilding</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WindTurbines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WindTurbines</a>
