Love it, simply self-destructs
Those trees are right in front of the camera, and no way near the turbine.
How many VAWT crashes, compared to HAWT?
Maybe horizontal axis looks nice, giving kids chance to daydream about airplanes, but I like vertical axis wind turbines much more.
No – it looks like it hit a tree branch. Watch it in slow motion…
You got it man! I love oil. It smells great. It’s good for the world. Fish love it. And coal – it reminds me of Christmas! Jesus died for us all! Let’s not forget that atomic energy is awesome – speeds up the adaptation of our species by natural atomic mutations to our DNA structure. We don’t need to adapt to nature. Nature needs to adapt to us! We are all about oil and sludge – that’s what our future should be all about! Kill the trees. Kill the hippies. Kill the animals. The world’s all ours!
at the end..YEHAA XD
Yeh, that’s why Three Mile Island and Chernobyl were way better than this, and no-one’s ever been hurt in a coal mine. Fktard
I am convinced that this was a human error that caused the turbine to spin out of control.
Blades cannot pitch like the larger ones, and there is only the emergency brake on the output shaft on the gearbox. This is activated by hydraulic pressure
This means that when an error happens, the fail safe system will activate the brakes, but in this case i am convinced that one of the technicians forgot about the current windspeed and where the nose of the turbine was pointing.
What do yoh think… What is the peripheral speed?
You’re a tard
So much for the fucking wind turbine! So much for the fucking “green” energy. Fucking hippies.
Atom, coal and oil are the only serious energy sources.
mufo country
also wo gibts den sowas. die dinger werden festgebremst bei zuviel wind
It’s obvious he’s thinking it used the force with it’s branch and killed the turbine. Never heard of Jedi Ents I guess. Heathen.
really, so, where did you get your theory from? the greedy turbine manufacturers?
the mindless greenpiss emo punks??
last i know, greenpissers suck.
It was a failure test of turbines to be installed in Danish country side, they wanted to know exactly what debris pattern would be formed if one of their brakes or variable pitch rotors failed. This was done at the behest of the government worried about all 6 fail-safes simultaneously failing..this might happen in every 350,000 turbines (last stats i saw) of this type if no maintenance was done on them for 15 years… pretty good record. Neat old piece of footage, used by coal to justify selves
I’m impressed that the wind turbine can override so much without breaking sooner
tht was so funny!!
the blades change pitch to control the speed, clearly whateva controlled the pitch failed and the centripetal force by the overspeed exceeded the design limits of the blades, as one blade broke it sent the prop off balance and caused the others to break off and hit the tower.
Are you a bit stupid my friend?
It was a joke!! JUST A JOKE!!! -.-
LOL! U DUMB! its in denmark!! hahaha u fail!!
I’m working on a wind turbine design currently. The hub and blade assembly weighs 25t. The blades are 30m long. I believe in this case, the braking mechanism used to ensure hub speed remains within design limits failed. This caused stresses on the blades well outside of design limits, and as a result a crack propigated through the blade causing catastrophic failure. This blade then sliced through the 70m tower as well as causing unstable vibration within the hub destroying the other blades
I do my research OrangeWig. This particular windstorm had wind gusts only slighly in excess of 100 kph (62 mph) which is a very strong gale but not as powerful as a hurricane. Moreover to put this in perspective Hurricane Katrina had wind gusts in excess of 300 kph (186 mph) so this windstorm in Denmark was not especially powerful and a wind turbine would therefore have to be pretty lame to be destroyed by its winds.
So i take it you have an expert understanding of wind turbines and their breaking mechanism in particular…
Amen
