There's a research paper from the University of Liverpool, published in 2006 where researchers asked people to draw bicycles from memory and how people overestimate their understanding of basic things. It was a very fun and short read.

It's called "The science of cycology: Failures to understand how everyday objects work" by Rebecca Lawson.

There’s also a great art/design project about exactly this. Gianluca Gimini asked hundreds of people to draw a bicycle from memory, and most of them got the frame, proportions, or mechanics wrong. https://www.gianlucagimini.it/portfolio-item/velocipedia/

It reminds me of an advertising sign I once saw outside a store, which read "Movies, Couch, and Ice Cream." It seemed to me like an apt epitaph for our civilization.

> their blades can spin at well over 200km per hour. It is easy to imagine careless birds getting chopped to bits.

Interesting use of the word 'friendlier'.

What does it means for a wind turbine to spin at 200km per hour? Serious question.
