Arty Japanese Wind Turbines!

[ljlassi]

As a sailor i can clearly see how the vertical turbines make a lot more efficient use of winds aerodynamic power than horizontal ones, which probably waste at least half of it.

[videogamerevie81]

I always mistake turbines for those things Hindu people wear XD

[MsSnipes666]

great

[mellowsky47]

Three in a row, good job.

[watashiwahjolan]

Lol fabulous.... You eduted the cardigan one before this one eh ...fabulous on the brain lol

[Nemesis093781]

Thank you for the video.

[1ukjunglednbraver]

its a wind turbine/rotating multi storie toilet cubicle

[oldschoolgamerz]

Now I wanna see a video of one of the nuclear power plants which produce the main portion of electricity in Japan.

[mikaa3k]

*hypnotised by the cool looking turbines*

[NorthWolfe]

I think ridiculous would be understating the usefulness of this crap...and apparently nobody seems to care about the visual pollution they create, the fact that in all these years no "wind-farm" has managed to pay its cost, or the numerous accidents, and deaths created by these monstrosities. Not to mention the "elephant-in-the-room", building them, transporting them, and installing them creates a far bigger footprint (if you believe in that nonsense) then the benefits obtained in their life-cy

[tiopaul]

Are you sure they produce electricity?

It doesn't look so...

[LeafySuburb]

I think wind turbines are actually pretty elegant. The "artsy" one is as one commenter said "structural".. The reason I dislike them.

[Jimaera]

We need more of those in America.

[ScoundrelzNTwK]

@Jimaera why? do you have something against co2 or migratory birds?

[Jimaera]

@ScoundrelzNTwK Naw, I have something against coal plants and nuclear waste.

[Zeldalover12100]

Can you make one about adoption in Japan!

[ApathyofHeart]

Those are probably way safer than those first kind. We have those first kind all over Colorado, when it gets too cold they have to shut them off or giant icicles come flying off of them at crazy speed. And other scary stuff too..

[PeircedinBlood]

" Fabulous"

[gangstaofhiphop]

I think the new version is much better, Looks more like a structure than the old one just sticking out of the ground and also affecting the background.

[WorldCitizen06]

That is so cool.

[s3xyScorp]

if you want more info on interesting vertical turbines see windside com

[playstation2bigs]

heeey guysssss!!!!!!!!

[ScoundrelzNTwK]

I believe those second turbines are made so that migratory birds don't run into them. Standard turbines are one of, if not the, biggest killer of migratory birds, at least in North America.

[carr60ick]

Looks like these ones are based on the Darrius design. They are cheaper 'cos the generator can be located on the ground due to the vertical axis. They start easier but as far as I know the wind speed they can handle is limited

[FHomeBrew]

We're also developing vertical wind turbines. Ours are taller and slimmer. The great thing about vertical wind turbines is that they don't have to face the wind. The wind can power them from any direction.

Great upload :-)

[lazyvietboy24]

If Japan can do it, why can't Americans do it?

[Z1BABOUINOS]

@lazyvietboy24

Wind power provides less than 0.2 percent of Japan's energy supply.

wind+solar combined, around 1%

I don't know the stats in US, but it can hardly be worse than that.

[TheShadowofDormin]

thats really cool

[nephthysuk]

I was wondering if those were aerials.

[SweetCash33]

Being in Japan I would think those turbines would be incorperated into some kind of robot statue for fun.

[Degenskonto]

Saw one of those in an american video, a bit smaller but still. I think it was designed to be quiet

[dragade101]

you wouldnt happen to know the name of this other type?

i wonder how efficient they are compared to 3 blade wind turbine (the usual model) (of course Im not trying to think about 1 to 1 as they are very different in size)

[waltermh111]

@dragade101 I dont know about efficiency, and I dont know that this other types height is limited, but since in this instance it doesnt rise as high as the 3-blade the taller setup can catch more consistant and stronger wind.

Usually the higher the altitude the more efficient due to an increase in available power.

[88Kamikaze69]

You'll actually find those other places around the world as well, pretty new though, a lot of diy ppl making these out of drum barrels as well.

[Midnightryder7]

Almost looks like a fun ride in a carnival..Just stand in one of those boxes..and a round and round u go....

[OmegaWeaponX25]

Always count on Japan to make stuff that looks like its from another planet.

One of the reason its such an awesome country.

[CindyBradyTooh]

Very interesting and unusual. :)

~Cindy! :)

..

[YTBulletTrain]

Never seen any like that before! :-)

[Raessentia]

What about solar panels? Can you make a video about it? :)

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@Raessentia

Already did.

Environment playlist.

[haversman]

Just another example of why Japan is so cool!

Thanks for the video!

[FUNETEKA]

@haversman

Not so cool Many of them are impoted from Northern Europe like Denmark.I guess.

[haversman]

@FUNETEKA Oh then uh..they're using green energy! Thanks means they're still cool! Right? Right? :P

[frealynn]

that one at 0:18 is very unique D=

[asyoulikeitvideos]

Pretty cool!

[yikomega1]

hm. interesting

[FelixTheHouseFreak]

They're kinda creepy. D:
