Wind turbine crashing in storm

[lolfatcat1]

i also film windmills in my spare time

[halowars337]

i think sombodie FUS RO DAH it

[Pc72]

Gud, var de vinger SÅ lange, ligefrem? På den anden video virkede de meget kortere! Genial slutning, dog: "VI HAAAAAAR- ..."

[EwaltFpv]

It went into self-destruction mode

[JJJAAARRR]

Wind Tamer seems to be a better system.

[ledmission]

Nice Video, some times thinks going wrong. I like Wind Turbines, it remind me on Windmills if i was a Kid and i like that they produce clean Energy. The Solution to rescue the world is my new Invent. The SOLARPANELLIGHTS. It is Storm proof, Waterproof Saltwater), Swims and grow up Aquaculture, also to use for Street lights or secure lights for wide Areas. With this little Invent (Patent pending) you save more Energy as the Wind Turbines produce. Have a look on ledmission if you interest.

[hideyukiax]

What!?  No safety equipment?

[BrianLuper]

Anybody needing Arc Welding performed, please respond to Vestas runaway turbines. Please bring your own cables stinger and clamp.

[1unitedfan]

Looks like a siemens turbine but I can hear the guy saying vestas right near the end of the vid.

[tapdancegirl88]

[donconco]

Danish sounds like drunk Dutch.

[mmmmmkmm]

@donconco cool :D then ima drunk dutch :3

[artoganasaurus]

In Soviet Russia, wind gets turbine!

[esven22]

is gamesa tower

[Smash5x5]

SPEEDS OVER 9000!!!!!

[ThatAdelaideGuy]

For a few moments it was producing enough energy to power all of Germany.. Until it failed.

[DeathQuickClan]

@ThatAdelaideGuy IST DENMARK RETARDS LOL YOU THINK THAT DENMARK IS GERMANY WTF!

[nikthepilot]

@DeathQuickClan it's fucking annoying tbh.. I'm Danish myself.. and when i say i'm from denmark, they automatically think i can german -__-...

[elbuggo]

I like suicidal windmills.

[MrTLSM]

I think the towere is made in DK vestas have 3 manufacture there, so it will be stupid to take the towere from china.. But okay hu know it´s vestas.

[fenerli342]

Dum ide at lade dem køre i stormen

[VCat2006]

That and fire are why windmills have breaks.

[ICryOverSpiltMilk]

THE POWER LEVEL IS OVER 9000!

[AndThatsWhyYouFail]

@ICryOverSpiltMilk OVER 9000?

[dereileak]

thats a crappy turbine, most of the ones I see made in here in mn and driven down the road for delivery are all metal, steel

[JoeCool031619]

After realizing it's own worthlessness, the turbine decided to take it's own life. Now if all the others would follow suit maybe we can focus on a cost effective source of energy.

[s6u6r6f6]

@JoeCool031619

ahhh....someone who GETS it!

[mardar18]

Wind is not amused >:(

[theoneandrew]

these aren't the answer solar power is more reasonable. Where do we get the space to put them ? Easy put 8x8 panels on every electric utility poles that would add up huge

[jaesungauzakim]

MADE IN CHINA

[DankseD]

@jaesungauzakim Actually not.... Made in denmark

[ilikstikz7804]

@jaesungauzakim,MADE IN DENMARK

(lol no offense to denmark!)

[s6u6r6f6]

@ilikstikz7804

best thing to come out of Denmark is "Hamlet"

...not this junk

[DeathQuickClan]

@jaesungauzakim  no made in china

[bobbj77]

@jaesungauzakim LOL

[Bloodmane1987]

@jaesungauzakim if you think you belive that.... stereotype....

[BlackToyotaTacoma]

@jaesungauzakim No. It was made in the USA.

[lakewood85]

Yaay, the storm killed the giant. Yaay! Fucking ugly machines!

[skullcrusher301]

@lakewood85 how are they ugly?

[web04walkerg]

WindTURBINES do not harm the environment in the way you appear to point out.

A Windmill makes flour for bread, baking etc... A wind turbine generates electricity, the blades turn because of the wind they do not remove the wind from the environment in any way...

[mikers3000]

@web04walkerg It's not like they kill bald eagles or anything......

[jamie1974]

Windmills harm the environment. They transfer energy from the atmosphere in the form of wind into electrical energy. How will the subtraction of that wind energy from the atmosphere affect the planet on a large scale?

[arsenal553]

@jamie1974 You are the biggest idiot in the entire world !

[mardar18]

@arsenal553 Is that because you didn't understand a shit? ▲

[beanerico]

@mardar18 I win! ▲

[hbre78a]

@jamie1974 They throw off  the rotation of the earth. Wind turbines should be outlawed.

[aliblincow]

@RandomConcepts You obviously haven't seen an oil rig, because those things are eye sores - wind turbines have way less visual impact .. and how on Earth is it toxic? Is it pumping out pollutants to the environment? No, its not. Even if the manufacturing and installation aren't clean processes, the aim is to exploit an energy source thats reliable, clean and sustainable. Its a long term investment - oil is finite, dirty and harmful.

[bed928]

he is saying that the wind turbine is fucked !!

[tcsurvivor03]

can someone translate what the narrator is saying? it looks like something hit a blade to cause the destruction

[xxxstudmuffen]

It went in to an over speed, and the blades started flexing and cliped the tower section. They are not suppose to go more than 25 RPM. The blades pitch back and forth to slow down and speed up. This have a malfunction which cause the blades to stay at 0 degrees in very high winds.

[thebutler89]

I didn't know they were made of fiberglass, that's pretty interesting

[xxxstudmuffen]

Just the blades are

[MrThekingofrandom]

I'd say... RUN!!!lol!

[Connorq100]

wow i wonder how it broke up like that

[Codesco2212]

@Connorq100 they have break systems them on them that arent suppose to let them spin that fast. and becasue of the big blades it casue vibrations and the propellors start shaking adn it caught the shaft. oops lol

[DeadBodyOutline]

I think therefore I am.

[slashsmartyr]

Love it, simply self-destructs

[smilisav]

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.

[guitarone110]

@smilisav there are more and better reasons there are more HAWTS than VAWTS other than the HAWTS "look nice"

[gummel82]

at the end..YEHAA XD

[Lasselkv28]

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.

[cruisersmusic]

No - it looks like it hit a tree branch. Watch it in slow motion...

[Lasselkv28]

Those trees are right in front of the camera, and no way near the turbine.

[Tonyinhopewell]

i think you right i think it did hit that branch

[xxxstudmuffen]

You have no idea what you rea talking about, The blades do pitch from 85 degrees to 0 degrees. That is your primary brake system, your secondery braking system is hydraulic at 35000 PSI but this brake will not stop the turbine by is self. It will eat this brake up so fucking quick. I have see this first hand, look up wind turbine hub entry. You will see the in side of a hub the pitch motors and every thing. I work no these thing for a living.

[Pauley90]

What do yoh think... What is the peripheral speed?

[Bohemund]

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.

[boudalff]

You're a tard

[ghughesarch]

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

[cruisersmusic]

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!

[Metactyl]

mufo country

[Houseandmore]

also wo gibts den sowas. die dinger werden festgebremst bei zuviel wind

[PsychoticusRex]

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

[nakazatoGTR]

really, so, where did you get your theory from? the greedy turbine manufacturers?

the mindless greenpiss emo punks??

last i know, greenpissers suck.

[SourSkittlesLover101]

tht was so funny!!

[TheTikiTikiTiki]

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

[hyujkokozy]

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.

[C303ofSweden]

I'm impressed that the wind turbine can override so much without breaking sooner

[tekarats]

too much torque broke it apart

[Eboladeluxe]

Wow! Wind turbines made in China, very impressive ^_^

[heelblocks]

Amen

[tijger288]

LOL! U DUMB! its in denmark!! hahaha u fail!!

[Eboladeluxe]

Are you a bit stupid my friend?

It was a joke!! JUST A JOKE!!! -.-

[Guywithbighairx2]

Wow. It exploded.

[AmericanDroid]

stop at 04 it gets a branch in it

[soylentgreenb]

"stop at 04 it gets a branch in it "

What in the hell?

Wind turbines are HUMONGOUS(this particular one had a 41 metre rotor diameter). That little twig near the camera has exactly nothing to do with it's failure.

[GruntofAction]

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. :P

[MikaTheBest12]

lool i'm german, i can understand the reporter a bit. just bits and pieces.

[Wizard364]

That must have been a really wimpy turbine to fall apart in such a lame storm. A real windstorm would've blown that thing clear into Sweden!HAHAHAHA!!!

[soylentgreenb]

"That must have been a really wimpy turbine to fall apart in such a lame storm."

Wind turbines put on the breakes when the wind picks up. When the wind is strong enough they come to a complete halt to protect the turbine.

The breaking mechanism failed in this turbine.

[Wizard364]

Then the braking mechanism in this turbine was wimpy and shouldn't have failed in such a lame storm.

[OrangeWig]

So i take it you have an expert understanding of wind turbines and their breaking mechanism in particular...

[Wizard364]

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.

[USAforLIFE800]

i don't understand the reporter but this looked nice xD

[Sheboobellach]

PEWPEW

major damage

[mycasa3]

lame video

[mycasa3]

lame

[kieranlowe1980]

why?

[thomwick]

LatteLiberal.....woaw, go and f-k yourself.

"...they are not allowed to use..."."...they dont fight in the war...".

And some wonder why people get tired of imperialistic US.

[BigFarell]

lol ... und die Sprache erst xDDD

[USAforLIFE800]

ya wa voll geil xD

[Dune1884]

what ??

[mixmunkidan]

Stop spreading your shit throughout the net you person who is lacking mental integrity!

[snowblind021]

dude you are the biggest fascist piece of shit i have seen in a while...

we need more things like windmills

and wind generators

you are stupid you have no idea what the fuck

gasoline is doing to out country

[tampabeer]

um.. you need to do more research. You make yourself look silly when you don't know what you are talking about.

[sweetpeagirl8910]

we wont have electrricity!!!! don't go ahead of ur self

[JoshiwaProductions]

Haha, cry some more.

[rohde42]

this video never gets old especially when you work on them... kinda keeps you in check

[kevintjuh6]

kalou doop

[solarday]

We had a few yankee friends to stay last week and we just happened to come across this amazing footage. It was they who made that comment. It's funny how it seams to be the ones across the water who become so upset and aggressive on-line. I could say some people just have a narrow view of our planet and other cultures. Developing a sense of humour helps over come it, but in this case I doubt it would make any difference.

[solarday]

Amazing footage - Good job it didn't happen in America otherwise it might have been out down to terrorist activity :)

[DXVBHHTR]

you say that till some crazed Muslim takes YOUR flight hostage, then you'll be pissing your pants!

[sejepiqe]

Wohow! Oh holy mother of DUDE!

[Alu10000]

Every wind turbine has a brake system to avoid an high rotational speed, but the braking system of this turbine was broken.

[antonacid]

that was awesome!!! more exciting than the burning windmill.

[LupinaFikmo2]

it sounds like he says ''Yiha!'' like a wannabe cowboy! but infackt he says ''vi har'' that means ''we have''

[jackorma]

LOL

[THEkillerKITTEN]

cool! i wish i saw that in person...

[bestbrothers55]

listen at the end: heha XD

[bjerre93]

No -_-

He saying ''We have...'' not Heha..

[shanedagonner]

Sounds like HeHa to me lol

[bjerre93]

Thats becouse you not a dane -__-

[shanedagonner]

Thank God Aswel LOL!

[Zisty]

HAHA jier it really does xD HEHA xD I think he said: vi har /We have ^^

[Jacc0s]

he says IHA like a donkey

[8ratchet8]

holy shit vor syret man!!!!!!! det vile jeg garne havet set :D

[barwelldk]

du så det også XD bare ikke der ude :(

[Drone696]

Ja ærgeligt de ikke lige fik strøm ud af alt den fart til sidst.. De må have koblet den fra, for kabler og alt indeni er vel ikke designet til den megen ekstra vind/strømstyrke..??

[storm250493]

pause at 00:10

:O

[storm250493]

pause at 00:10

:O

[Crapckyship]

its the wind and no it cand stop

[captainsmc]

yeah , I need one in my back yard ...HA !

[sdrfgvrfgvsfravgdsvS]

this generators have brakes!!!

[cntmn8td2006]

Tensile Yield!

[genoeghiervan]

my bet would be with accelerated fatigue due to the large stress fluctuations in the rotors

[organfairy]

Den kørte vel også fire gange så hurtigt som den maksimal er designet til kunne tåle. Det der sker er at først knækker én af vingerne. Så er møllen pludselig meget tungere i den ene side men da den stadig kører rundt begynder den at slingre: Den ryster så sige fra hinanden.

[Dawgside]

ja det er godtnok en pæn bunke energi der er i de vinger ... når centrifugal kraften ka rive den hele fra hinanden på den måde (sammen med vingerne).

set på den lyse side så må den jo ha lavet strøm som en mindre vindmøllepark i de sidste par timer ;)

[aalose]

Tror du nok ikke de har koblet møllen fra? -.-

[Dawgside]

Nej tro det lader jeg de religiøse ligge rode med...og er hverken elektriker eller det der ligner så hva ka jeg sige ;)...

Men nu gætter jeg bare så (nu du siger det på den måde)...jo :P

[organfairy]

Ja, dels centrifugalkraften, men der kan også ske det, at stormen bøjer vingerne så meget indad at de rammer tårnet.

[Jonassoe]

Den kørte fandme også hurtigt! Det er alligevel voldsomt, at den ligefrem knækker på den måde.
