Are you kidding me? Why the hell would you let people up a wind turbine w/o being climb safety certified? And why would you not put the break the blades when someone is at the top? You my friend should be fired immediately.
I hope you all passed your wind turbine climbing courses at £400+ And no hard hats! Someone needs their arse skelpped! The ratio of the gearbox is probably 1:100 so the flexible coupling and the shaft will be death traps.
Thats the stupidest thing anyone not trained or trained to be an authorized entrant could do! There are many hazards for someone to be in a turbine when its running. Even if its in wind sense or a test mode. WOW! this must be over seas.. I hope anyways..
thats the stupidest thing anyone could do. There's many hazards with a running turbine. Even in wind sense when it's pitched to a lower degree. Wow.. must not be in America
Wind turbines scare the crap out of me (some weird phobia of mine) and this takes the biscuit.. Ive no problem with heights, but you wouldnt catch me at least a mile from there lol :)
@bigdougo There aren't any reasons for running a turbine while technicians are in the tower and/or nacelle. Couping failures, runaways and hard stops are some of the dangers of being up while it's running. If the company you work for allows you to do so they do not care about safety. In 2007 a runaway Siemens turbine killed an E.M.S. technician in Oregon. Needless to say many technicians have had thier lanyards caught in the main shaft and high speed coupler pulling them in and crushing them.
@justincerveny we did overspeed tests on the ground, then went up to do blade pitch, brakes, etc. still dangerous and I do not do that anymore. I built that turbine in Oregon, the guy was a local tech from Goldendale, Washington just across the river from the site ( Klondike 3 in Wasco). so I understand the dangers, that's why I don't work for that company anymore.
It`s still against the rules everywhere!! I build this things and even we can´t be inside when it`s running!
Do you guys have any idea of the danger of being inside a turbine running?? The person responsible for this "visit" could (and can) be severely punished for letting a group of people go up for some pics. It is completely forbidden to be on a turbine running. Small pieces can fail and seriously hurt someone not talking about the electricity running on those cables!
@vecorsmeister you build turbines? I commission them and you have to run them to preform all necessary tests but a tour? that is a little different. This could be in Europe where the rules are very lax, no safer, just not against the rules
@bigdougo You don't have to run them while being up tower. There's too much of a chance for a runaway. Safety regulations being written write now are going to prohibit running turbines while technicians are in the nacelle and tower.
@justincerveny That`s right! I`ve only worked once or twice inside of a running turbine and because it was really necessary. Otherwise it is strictly forbidden!
They are not supposed to be on top of the tower, when the blades are spinning. They are not even supposed to be inside the tower, when the blades are moving.
@11windclimber are you the dumb one? bc you NEVER knew when those things could fail! they may test them, but they also test parachutes, and some DONT WORK!!! think about that before you start caling people dumb! K thanks!
Like Carbon said.. Whatever company that was should be shut down. .
I don't care if its 40 yr old men up there. It's running. your not supposed to be up there. The High Speed Shaft. Not to mention the High Voltage.... retarded.
ive seen worse..i visited one a while ago and two workmen were larking about and one of them tied themselves to the blade and went for a spin..said it was better than genesis at alton towers.................
dahhh you an carbon shut up and if your that dumb to be talking about what someone else does then you must be the retard and if you reply back to me you must be dumber then you look
Who ever let you climb that turbine still running is very irresponsible.I have worked on turbines for 5 years and that will git you fired or worse killed.Can you imagine getting your harness caught in the high speed shaft and it pulls you in crushing and ripping every part of your body?It has happened.
Nice, interesting to see this turbine was actually working when you visited it. I would think normally they would switch it off during a visit like this ! What kind of turbine is it ?

WORLD RECORD: BIGGEST WIND TURBINE
Visit: windturbinecarriedbywheels.weebly.com
ZERO-NOISE from gears and generators since they are sealed underground.
SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS since slow-moving.
DOES NOT OCCUPY A WIDER LANDSCAPE since the turbine can be very tall.
MAY BE LOWER-COST since it may use timber and other cheaper things.
ELUDES HURRICANE FORCE since the V-type folding blades automatically close.
NO FIRE since well-cooled.
HELPS WIND-ENERGY COMPANIES since it is FREE FOR ALL.
