INI TURBINES BE TRIED
AS SOURCE OF POWER
SALT LAKE CITY, April 25—
Shrouded in all possible secrecy from
the time work was started, the first
bits of meagre information are begin
ning to leak out regarding the most
unusual mechanical experiment ever
attempted in this state. It is a wind
turbine, or series of wind turbines, er
ected on top of a mountain with the
expectation of developing electrical en
ergy to a maximum of 40,000 horse
power .
So far as known all that has been
made public voluntarily in connection
with the unique project is a picture of
the working model of the turbine. Vir
tually all else in connection with the
experiment, although it is not regard
ed as an experiment by a Los Angeles
corporation backing the venture, is
laigely guesswork, or meagre infor
mation obtained from workmen who
have been employed in making pre
liminary preparations for the installa
tion.
The turbine is said to weigh 246
tons in its full size and completely

Date first publication March 27, 1924.
Last Publication April 28, 1924. Daily
equipped. Large metal vanes, held in a
framework in such a way as to move
Somewhat like a ship’s sail and gather j
maximum of the wind’s force, cause j
the whole upper works of the turbine !
to revolve tunable fashion. This re
volving motion is communicated to the
electrical generator. Up to the present
time the name of the inventor has no
been made public.
The aerial electrical plant is being
installed at the top of Sugarloaf moun
tain, a lone, sentinel-like peak in a
desert valley about twelve miles south
of Delta a town in Southwestern Utah.
The peak, which has long been cele
brated for the rather stiff breeze which
almost constantly fans its summit has
a flat top well adapted to a project of
this character.
There is a single steep trail leading
up a canyon to the top of the moun
tain. Without advance notice of any
kind ,engineers appeared in the local
ity several months ago and opened ex
tensive construction work on the flat
peak, hiring men from communities a 1
considerable distance from Delta, al- j
though most of the construction ma- j
terial, such as cement and lumber, is j
said to have been purchased in the i
nearest town.
At the present time it is declared
that approximately $100,000 must have
been spent on the preliminary con
struction work alone, which is said to
consist almost entirely of broad con
crete works, such as might be expected
to support the turnable portions of
the turbines. Men who have worked
on the project indicate that apparent
ly the erection of several air turbines
is contemplated. The total height of
each turbine above the concrete plat
form on which it is to rest is said to
be 105 feet.
Virtually all of the piecemeal infor
mation obtained to date reagrding the
unique project has been gathered by
engineers and officials of hydroelec
tric companies serving the district
with power which is used largely by
pumping water for irrigation.
While ready to condemn the experi
ment to utter failure, these same en
giners have shown an unusual inter
st in the whole mystery. During the
early portion of the construction work
atop the mountain the single ti-a.il was
carefully guarded to keep inquisitive
persons from reaching the scene of
operations. One engineer, more in
quisitive that the others is said to have
evolved the idea of making a dash up
the trail in a high-powered automobile
ostensibly to test out his motor. The
plan worked, until his car stalled a few
hundred feet from the summit, after
which he was told by a man with a
shotgun resting across a saddlehorse
that it would be safer to turn around
and go back down the trail ,according
to a story related in Delta. The en
gineer never reached the summit of
the mountain.
An important feature of the propos
ed electrical development in which en
gineers of the local companies are es
pecially intersted in picking flaws is
a new type storage battery in connec
tion with the air turbines by which
it is proposed to store 5,000 horsepow
er of energy for use when the wind
fails. Engineers of the hydro-electric
companies contend that no battery
with a capacity of this size has ever
been constructed.
So far the only name mentioned,
which would give a clue to the backers
of the strange enterprises is that of
the United States River Hydro-Elec
tric Light and Power Company of Los
Angeles.
The Alaska is due to arrive in port
sometime in the morning;. She goes as
far west as Uyak this trip.
