2:12 "Difficulties of working conditions at sea leads to the fact that every year the efficiency of installations decreases an average of 4.5%." This first appears to be human working conditions at sea causes 4.5% drop in wind turbine efficiency. Maybe this is what was meant "Typical harsh sea operational conditions, greatly wear to their blades, causes offshore wind turbines to suffer an average yearly 4.5% decrease in their electrical power output." 10 years X 4.5% is 45% not 50% as stated in the video. Offshore wind turbine blades are fiberglass with reinforcement. Possibly carbon fiber. These materials don't stand up to 100 mph 160 kph large hail from hurricanes that is inevitable for offshore wind turbines in hurricane prone areas such off the east coast of North America. Maybe that is once in hundred years storm, maybe 20 years, maybe next year. One extensively damaged blade would throw the wind turbine out of balance requiring it to be locked down till serviced or it would tear itself a part. 2:25 "The probability of failures and break down is also growing. After eight years it is 80%". It is unclear if the wind turbines are left derelict. There are typically no large subsidies to repair wind turbines which were in effect when they were built. There is also a heavy human risk factor of risking human lives for a machine that may not have many service years left. Fish are chased away by the noise of wind turbine at power. The sea life seams like these structures when not making noise. 4:20 Vertical axis offshore wind turbine. The basic physics of a wind turbine is it is extracting the PUSH from the wind. It should be possible to calculate the strain on wind turbine tower or mast to calculate the total force of the wind force on the tower and blades. The more power the blades are extracting from the wind the more force they push on the tower. That is the case for horizontal or vertical blade wind turbines. Strain gauges in the wind turbine tower could be used to determine the wind loads imparted to the tower. A totally calm day might be used to get a base line. Vertical turbines in part an asymmetric (non symmetric) rotating toque of their their wind loading of their support structure requiring it to have great rotational resistance from its foundation. That's the kind of movement used to remove stuck bolts and screws! It is in addition to the horizontal pushing force the vertical structure and foundation has to resist from the wind pressure on the blades and other structures. That high twisting force into the foundation likely keeps vertical axis wind turbines from becoming large. There is no wind gain on the forward sweep of the vertical blades into the wind. Any resistance of the up wind rotating blades reduces power generated by the down wind rotating blades. It also reduces the torque the foundation has to resist. There is no way to dynamically balance the vertical twisting load on the foundation because that is the force the is being used for energy extraction. That is one of the reasons horizontal wind turbines have a large advantage over vertical axis wind turbines. Horizontal wind turbine have a strong rotational horizontal force the tower has to accept that is horizontal in nature at its foundation not twisting. It the foundation were to give way suddenly under wind power it would rotate upward. A tumbling giant wind turbine at sea would be something you'd want to be a safe distance away from! Kind of like watching a tornado. One 1MW of generating capability from a grid power standpoint it is not much. A GE locomotive AC44CW produces close to 3.3 MW of electrical power.
It is a crime that trillions of dollars are being wasted on a virtually non existent problem like 'climate change' and not expended dealing with real pollution problems. Great to see the river recovering. One of the keys is to engage the community to see the benefits.
Skylab? Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah: Skylab, first U.S. space station, launched into Earth orbit on May 14, 1973. United States space station; in orbit from 1973 to 1979. Now I remember.
Any weapon system nowadays better come equipped with jamming equipment to keep drones from hitting it and also radar guided miniguns to shoot down drones that have A.I. controlling their movements. If they don't have those safeguards, they will be useless.
What if water is covered around the tower, when the blocks go down, if we can use ballons with lite weight hydrogen gas to lift it up from water pressure
This is a great invention, I know other countrys and areas could benefit greatly from this, can yours? Can we donate and be sure it is used Only for the materials for making a Wonka Tower?"
Narration says, "An incredible resort will OPEN SOON in Saudi Arabia." Web search "Treyam" and you'll see words like "vision", "proposal", "unveiled plans", etc. It's barely even vaporware. @InnovativeTechs is peddling science fiction.
