More news from Electra: they participated in this invitation-only event conducted in early November. Of note was the EL2's observed noise level of 55 dB at 152M (500ft) — that's about the same as an electric toothbrush. A conventional turbine is 75 dB at 152M — as loud as a vacuum cleaner. | 🛩️ ⚡️ 📰 ⚔️
