Hywind, worlds first offshore floating windmill (go HQ!)

Need help with animation similar to the above, however, for solar thermal system. Please contact me at

Thanks, Sid Malik (India)

well done

[eiler10]

Animation is modeled and rendered in MAX/Dreamscape for all those who wonder.

[drford316]

@eiler10 Who did the Animation?

[eiler10]

@drford316: I did the animation for Technip/Statoil

[nesheimivar]

@eiler10 Var det nødvendig å legge måker på lydsporet?

[eiler10]

@nesheimivar Nei, hadde veldig begrenset med lydspor

Who did the Animation?

Wow. Its amazing what robot boats can do these days. And what primo weather they must have in Norway!

[AV7Volhv]

Why not mount the Wind turbine on land? It can swim and it would be easy to maneuver it into position.

[CaptainHappy21]

If you were to put in some wave power generators you could probably double energy production..

Well done animation! Shared this video on my fb page

LIFE_ON_PLATFORM

for more offshore videos and pics check it out ("Life_On_Platform")

[alpemay]

Does someone have clue on how did they do this clip? My first guess is flash but i don't know if such amount of detail would be possible?? Thanks anyway

[mophucka]

@alpemay

I'm guessing it was created using Autodesk Inventor, I had the opportunity to work with Technip last summer and we used it to create these types of animations.

[nigelvm]

There is alot of these in skegness lol and they off shore and look exactly the same.......

[Landrew0]

This video would be twice as good if it were half as long. Also tone down the bird and wind sounds a few notches.

Esto es el futuro y los gobernantes deberían impulsar estas energías limpias con mas rigor.

How much more water must be displaced before the tower is installed to create a stable platform for the dynamic loads of the turbine? At what point is it actually anchored to the ocean bottom to prevent drift?

[oldarney]

The simple answer would be that there is an anvil attached with a rope to the bottom of the ballast. iso it would drift... but not too much. I really don't know, its my theory... you could put three anvils and that would keep it held up pretty tight, that is if we disregard the weight of the cords.

[oldarney]

After looking at another video, its held up by three cords, which also deliver power, all three cords have ballast's on them.

There is something with the ship at 2:50 that seems somewhat out of scale. The crane and the excavator seems very sall compared to the boat.

[TheSaltyAdmiral]

We(Norway) have the money and technology, only political will stand in our way to really make us a leading green energy producer.

If we act NOW and invest in this, I think there is huge profits to be made by selling green energy to the nations that lag behind.

If we wait, others will fill that market and we will loose perhaps the biggest opportunity since we discovered oil in the seventies.

robbo33kv:

..well, this is exactly how it was (successfully) installed. As the structure parts were installed safely inside the fjord, in good conditions, it all worked perfectly. Of course, for a production line installation of later FTWs, optimisation will be required.

[yaronvaller]

How is it moored?

[gloves1212]

I can't wait until it is up and running! I agree, well done animation - a lot of effort went into this.

[T3Racer]

This animation was excellent, really cool and informative.

Keep up the good work :-)

Kult laget
