I didnt realise how …
I didnt realise how huge they really are!
Windmills are a lot …
Windmills are a lot of buck for very small bang! This is why they have to be SO huge! They’re a pain in-the-neck to maintain. A real combustion turbine is MUCH more efficient than any number of these things is.
only $20 an hour
only $20 an hour
I thought wind was …
I thought wind was fantastic until I read the problems they have. Erratic power output means base load conventional power must be maintained to compensate. The more turbines you have the larger the headache to power mgrs. The best ones only produce 1/3rd of the time and output 20% of rating. The bird kill issue is huge as is the 2700 gallon oil consumption in the gear boxes let alone the steal (iron ore coal) required to construct one. Not such a excellent deal afterall.
Modern wind …
Modern wind turbines use full power conversion, which means they can be used to right disturbances in the grid. Most produce power over 80% of the time, output low power at low wind speeds,the wind is FREE – every MW generated is not produced by gas, oil or coal or some other non-renewable fuel. How is the bird kill issue “huge”? 2700 gal oil consumption is nonsense, avg is more like quarts. Takes steel & iron to make one. What did you expect? Electricity would make itself for nothing
they are gargantuan …

I like Siemens 3.6MW <3 <3 <3
You are able to standup inside the nacelle, and the front
hatches open only 1m from the hub.. There is a small service hatch at the hub on the nacelle.
Highly recommended to go check if you have the posibility.
Wow, that’s incredible …
Wow, that’s incredible! I can’t imagine being nearly 400 feet in the air with a 200 foot rotor propeller turning right next to me.
This video is probably the closest that I will ever get to experience something like that without really being there in person. I’m fascinated by wind turbines, and I am always looking to learn more about them.
Thank you for sharing this, and again, it’s truly incredible what’s inside of these and how large they really are.
Glad you like it

I climb them …
I climb them everyday
I’m not climbing …
I’m not climbing that ladder. no.
We need nukes so we …
We need nukes so we can be free of windmills and solar. I like the lights to come on and for my computer, television and radio to work at night when there’s no wind.
pussyfaggots worried …
pussyfaggots worried of heights and everything else we need windmills and solar so we can be free from raghead oil
rather you than me! …
rather you than me! the stupid thing is my dad was a steeplejack! he wouldn’t thing anything of being up a 400ft tv mast fitting the lightning conductors. once i saw him hanging over the side of the GPO Tower in birmingham, england, on a bosun’s chair that was basically a 2ft piece of plank on the end of some rope. none of those genes got through to me at all.

i have bin in higher towers, mobile connection tower 79m!!!!
Me too.

I really despise to stay under windmills. It’s so scary.

i am frightened of heights and the shot at around 1.12 made the bottom of my feet tingle!

Not sure where you are from but there is a program offered through Iowa Lakes Community Colege and Lake Region State College. Midwestern schools.

Yes EXACTLY. …
Yes EXACTLY. Nuclear power is NOT a long term global option, finally someone who sees reason.
We are going to need Wind, Solar, Wave, AND Geothermal energy to pull through and coordinate them to give the world energy.
where would you …
where would you find a tech school or college that had wind energy as a program?
