Sand[edit]

I hesitate to call it a sand dune. I mean there is sand under there and all, but just looking you would never know it. I mean, if you want to get really technical, you could say it's a sand dune with lots of trees and grass and roads and boimass on it, but when I'm there and actually looking at it, the first thing that pops into my mind is "big hill" or "bluff". For a real sand dune, you've got to go south to silver lake where they're running over it with dune buggies and nothing grows, so it is just sand.

It is not any less of a sand dune because it has trees and grass growing on it. Most of the sand dunes I've seen along the Lake Michigan shoreline that are free of vegitation are free of vegitation becuase of human activity. Sagsaw 20:51, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Having participated in geological studies in that area, a more accurate description of the geomorphology is that it is a lakeside bluff composed of glacial outwash sands and clay tills. Probably some minor dunes (windblown sand) on top and intermingled with depth but majority is glacial deposits. 24.172.9.62 (talk) 19:21, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cycle Efficiency?[edit]

Does anyone have numbers on the cyclic loss? It's a marvelous scheme, but I'm wondering how smoothly the process was implemented back when this was built. It would be interesting to know how much electricity is produced per megawatt spent pumping water uphill. Wyvern (talk) 22:27, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
