  • was there some kind of break to keep the blades from turning when you were on there

  • yes, a main break, and a safety pin put in manually if you go out to the hub

  • why is the video all of a sudden private

  • my cousin Patrick Glenn did this for a while, cool stuff

  • nothing like climbing up a V82 turbine...

  • I'm currently going to school to become a wind turbine technician in Prince Edward Isand .

  • im wanting to get that job when i get older. do you know were you can get it at? plz tell me!! :D

  • first thing you should do is get the proper education. i am going to Mesalands Community College in Tucumcari New Mexico, home of the tallest call room in the world, check out my vid. its a 2 year course to get proper start in the industry.

  • hey thx soooooo much!!!! :D

  • Is that the Maple ridge site?I worked there for a while it beautiful in the fall.Nice video.

  • Nice video! Thanks for the tour. You have a pretty cool job, aside from the 300 foot climb a couple times a day. Keeps you in shape though, right? ;)

  • I use an elivator on offshore windpark Q7 :)

    don't you get in troble for this.. i mean to put a movie of an inside windtubine on you tube? i was told i couldn't place pictures or movies on the internet..

    cheers

  • Just had a visit to our Turbines ! what a day!

  • Ive been thinking of going to school for this. Is it a good job? What are the ups and downs to it. Does it pay good? are u home every night? ur answer would be very helpful thanks

  • That is about neat--I haul Hubs for Gamesa and General Electric and my son has hauled blades-I hope to start on blades next month. Even though I am 61 years old female, I would love to be able to go up inside one of the towers just to say I did. This is history being made with the wind energy getting popular. I am proud to be a part of it.

  • I was wondering:

    Where is this set of turbines located?

    Why isn't the blades turning of the unit you are filming from?

  • I have question for you:

    It is necessary that school mie for labor in order to Vestas?

  • If you are asking if you need schooling to work at Vestas, I believe they will train you on the job.

  • If may I yourself ask:

    How money earn money in Vestas??

  • WOW the view is amazing.

    I haven't visited a wind turbine yet, but hopefully sometime this year at the Oregon Gorge.

    How often do you need to climb up a day?

    oh and what happens when nature calls?

    Cool video!

  • Thanks, yes it is quite nice once you get up there. We usually only climbed once or twice a day.

    You either sweat too much too need to, or bring a bottle.

    Otherwise you have to climb down.
