Can you blend electricity generating windmills with wireless communications towers?

Good points to both answers;

With the development of continuous reinforcing steel strapping nets, which can be installed in any rigid-framed structures, new possibilities emerge for multi-tasking and combination structures, and so on.

By placing a continuous steel strapping system in a windmill, for example, the windmill structure body-frame can be built out of lighter frame materials, the strapping reinforcement can carry communication signals, and be extended above the windmill, as an antenna, to avoid the rotating windmill blades.

These adjustments/modifications opens up the possibilities of placing the electricity-generating windmills in more locations in and around Communities, instead of single-use windfarms, and the communications antennae can be used in wireless transmissions and for back-up low-frequency communications transmissions in power outages, storms, between mountains, etc.

The electricity stored near the windmills can also be used as back-up power in same.

    It would be impractical.
    Comms towers don’t need the strength that wind generators do, and having rotating blades flying around would make using the generator tower as a comms tower rather difficult, to say the least.

  2. A.Ganapathy India says:

    The radio frequency produced by wireless Communication may be affected by the rotation of windmill blade and it generation of electricity will also produce spikes.
