Judith Gap, Montana "Wind Farm" pictures on MontanaPictures.Net  (Page one of six)

91808 The Judith Gap Wind Farm was dedicated, on October 7, 2005.   Electrical power production started in late November 2005.

The turbines start spinning when the wind gets above about 6 miles per hour, and power production begins at 7.8 mph

The turbines run at maximum capacity at 33.5 mph.  In high winds of 56 mph or more the turbines shut down to protect the turbine.

Let's watch the morning sun light reflect off the 400 foot wind towers.

91808 Don't get the idea you can "waltz" under the Wind turbines any time you please.            Click here for a close up of the main gate.

Visitors need to check in at the office for permission to enter the "Wind Farm."

The morning light just changed - take a look.    A couple minutes later they looked like this.
