(PDF, Letter dated December 4, 2019). Quoting from Yurek's letter: "For the most part I agree with the Tribunal on the issues that it considered. I found its decision thorough and well reasoned. I am also of the view that neither the evidence before me on stray voltage nor the noise modeling approach applied to the project demonstrate that the harms test has been met.”

Publication, arXiv.org (link). Title. Generation of Infra sound to replicate a wind turbine. Author. Richard Mann and William Mann. Abstract. We have successfully produced infrasound, as a duplicate of that produced by Industrial Wind Turbines. We have been able to produce this Infrasound inside a research chamber, capable of accommodating a human test subject. It is our vision that this project will permit others, with appropriate medical training and ethical oversight, to research human thresholds and the effects of this infrasound on humans. Our role has focused on producing the tools, systems, and hardware required, to permit this research to go forward. This paper describes the evolution of our project from the original vision, through the construction of proof of concept prototypes, a series of improved models and their associated accessories /operating systems, to the final test chamber as it stands now ready to deploy. Also included are the mathematical and computational data supporting our claim that infrasound conditions inside the chamber can be made to duplicate those from actual Industrial wind turbines at approved setback distances.
CS Tech Report. CS-2018-01 (PDF). Title. Research Report on Infra Sound. Author. Richard Mann. Date. February 25, 2018; public release: March 2, 2018. Abstract. We have successfully produced infrasound, as a mirror of that produced by Industrial Wind Turbines, in a chamber capable of accommodating a human test subject. This will permit others, with appropriate medical training and ethical oversight, to research the effects of infrasound on humans.

"Infrasound and low-frequency noise – does it affect human
health?"
23 January 2018. Biomedical engineer Dr
Mariana Alves-Pereira recently studied the impact of ILFN from wind
turbines in Ireland, concluding that noise regulations need updating
to reflect noise levels that endanger human health.
