biomasa e hidráulica

I have forgotten to fill you in on our field trip last week! 

We went to a biomass plant that uses all the refuse from the wine making processes in the region to produce energy.  It smelled like concentrated alcohol all over the place...I think it may have actually been possible to get drunk off of the fumes.  It was a really interesting plant, but it was definitely a place I wouldn't want to be stuck alone at night--looked like a set for the latest saw movie.  

The second destination of the day was a dam in Estella.  It was a neat little place that was run by some rather interesting souls: I'm pretty sure there was a small batch of marijuana plants in the garden there.  Whatever floats your boat.  

Neither of the places smelled like roses, but it was a fun experience and I learned a lot about both technologies.  Especially dams.  I thought I had a pretty solid grasp on how those worked, but there were quite a few things that I hadn't thought of.  Good thing I didn't design them :) 

Hasta la próxima.
