The stresses on the blade bolts must be phenomenal, this is precision engineering on a massive scale !

@jamesneilsongrahamloveinth1301 4 года назад

I was thinking the same thing. The wings of an airliner are relatively short - and wide at the base - yet the wing-box that secures them is massive. The blades of these monster turbines are long and heavy, yet the 'wing-box' is relatively tiny - something to do with aerodynamics maybe. There have apparently been a few cases of blades detaching and towers buckling under the strain . . .

I remember going to a wind mill in my country when i'm doing the organizer job for the launch ceremonial by our president. From far away it looks tiny, but after you get in the bottom of it, man it beyond explanation, its not only gigantic, but also mark a remarkable achievement for engineering. Especially if I imagine on how the heck those giant can be installed in a mountain and hill, which geographically, I barely can reach it by walking, and those engineers can made it and accomplished the impossible. I admire current engineers. Outstanding.

@rodon91 5 лет назад

They are put in order for the wind to not oscilate the whole tower. When wind blows trough a cylindrical tower it makes it resonate and often brake. Those spirals dissipate the wind

@marksims5730 4 года назад

Those are called vortex shedders, also found on on chimmneys to reduce oscilation caused low pressure vortices on the downwind side of the tower.

Well under decent wind they should produce close to their nominal capacity (3.6MW). Per year, on average, onshore wind produces about 1800 full-load hours, i.e. the average utilisation is about 20% of the nominal capacity.

@GrahamDIY 4 года назад

This is a genuine question: I’ve always wondered, if these wind turbines are taking (some of) the energy from the wind, what is the impact downstream of these turbines? Because essentially that wind is taken away from where it would have otherwise ended up. I would guess that the power (watts) of the wind is so enormous that these take so little there is no discernible impact. But as we know, taking energy from one place to be used (converted) elsewhere often has an impact. Anyone have a good answer?

@victorbarugahare8328 4 года назад

The fact is, wind can't be harvested completely of its energy downstream. According to Betz's law and coefficient, only up to 59.3% of the wind energy can be harvested. But wind shall always be produced by difference in air density and sun's heat energy. But thinking of your question, yes. The reduction of wind energy up to the Betz's coefficient should be felt downstream. But what's the use of wind, anyway? Lol Pollination? Lol Well, my view is that more wind will he produced downstream, since factors that make wind will always be available.

@bratan_archer 4 года назад

@@victorbarugahare8328 1) the impact is negligible 2) whatever the impact is, it's rather similar to that of a forest - it slows the wind down, but even a small forest, due to density, will have more of an impact.

It's a class III wind turbine, meaning that's it be designed to get more energy from the wind in locations having a lower nominal wind speed, for this purpose they need a bigger rotor.

@illuminate4622 6 лет назад

Pierre Pasquet doesn't this waste materials when you have a massive rotor but only a small generator which can't get all the juice out of the wind? I mean, some share of the rotor then does nothing, just sits idle😕

@iainreid9914 6 лет назад

Karl-Alfred, the simple fact is this 'huge' turbine will average about 1 to 1.2 Mwatts due to the variability of wind. They seldom reach rated power. In power generation terms it's a toy.

This is good, but we need to consider magnetically levitated wind turbines because they can receive wind from any horizontal direction, they can function properly with wind speeds as low as 3.3 Miles per Hour or as high as 89 Miles per Hour, and best of all, they can be equipped with wind boosters that can multiply wind speeds by 8. One colossal, frictionless wind turbine can match 1,500 wind mills and power 750,000 homes, but take up no more than 2% as much space.

@epistte 5 лет назад

The problem in Fukushima wasn't inherent in the GE reactors. The problem started after the tsunami when the backup cooling pumps were disabled by the flood water. There is a very limited amount of time that any nuclear reactor, even the newest AP1000 design, can safely operate without sufficient cooling water and the power to operate the shutdown commands. That cooling water is the lifeblood of a reactor and if it stops it is akin to cutting your aorta and then complaining that people tend to be in poor health when it happens when their blood pressure drops to zero.

@joaoc_PT 5 лет назад

@@epistte several factors caused fukushima. - Early generation reactor (but unlike Chernobyl, had steel vault surrounding it) - Poorly designed power backup (they were easily floooded, both generators and batteries) - Huge >100 year tsunami that has a really low probability and difficult to add into to plans. Ie. seawall had 10m but the wave had 13m. The operators did the best they could with what they had, but if some errors weren't made, they could've prevented meltdown and subquent hidrogen release that exploded releasing radioactive particles.
