wow these things are awsome they burn blow up kill flying animals waste space create risky jobs for people to die in create law suites and create energy that i will waste playing video games :]
@julioamezaga Its better than coal that give men black lung and blows up when minning it poisons the water around the mines has the companies minning it bully and lie to people so when they suie the companies they loose they don't get what they should destroys the ecosystem and eats up mountins so i'd say we are all and all better with turbins so you can play videogames
ITS WIND TURBINES we are not grinding flour here people. As for health issues that's all bullshit. I work on them and i am still very much alive and healthy! Plus the average ones are around 250 feet or 80 meters.
This is a GE 1.5 MW and it is only loud if you are inside it while it is running. I know, because I commission them. It is 287 feet tall and the blades are 90 feet long. They are never installed directly next to a residence so when people say they are, ask for a pic! DB at bottom of tower is less than 35db! So, how can it travel and increase? Some people are just RETARDED!
We are soon getting a wind farm in my county. I am very excited about it. I hope the construction will start soon. Of course, we do have some idiots protesting the farm.
I am not extremely good at Identifying the Turbine by looking at it yet, but I think this might be a Bonus turbine they are huge. we have a 450Kilowatt in our shop and it took 3 Fork lifts to get it there. The Mechanic crew is rebuilding the gearbox and I am rewireing the Control box. This way we update all of the outdated Analog controls and put in a New digital PLC interface to control the power equipment. These are usually 3 phase and range anywhere from 400V to 600V AC Up to 150' Tall
@redyoshi1985 Definitly not a bonus turbine. They have cylindrical Nacelles. It is an Enron unit that was purchased by General Electric after Enron went under. There are hundreds of them west of Abilene in Texas. That clanging noise is from the doors seen on th rotor. they fall open as it turns toward the ground then slam shut at the top. Sometimes they fall off.

Probably, but the fourth (or even fifth) wing would lower the efficiency per wing.
While they can continue increasing the size if the wings as needed, they won't start adding more blades. Currently the longest wings that I know of are around 60m long (~180 ft) giving that generation a 120m (~360 ft) diameter. If I recall those are for 4-5MW turbines.
I now realize where all this wind is coming from. It's these Giant Fans going up everywhere!! I bet it's these commie-alqada terrorists! They turn these fans on "High" and blow up some wind storms, tornados and hurricanes. Now that America has a muslim "green" president....he gonna blow the USA clean off the Earth!!!!
the school i am going at has one of these "TURBINES" its a GE 1.5 Megawatt. the blades are 121 feet long, the "NACELLE" or box as you call it is larger than a single stall garage, quite a bit bigger then your van. and the turbine is 280 feet to the top of the nacelle. just some friendly help
man the body is 405 feet tall, the blades are a 110 foot long and the cell of the windmill is 15 feet tall.....u made it seem like it was something you could fit in the back of a pickup
Its a Canon Powershot S2IS 5.0 Megga pixel its fairly old now but does quite well its has a 12x Optical zoom. Canon makes newer one I believe they have the S5IS out now... still a 12x optical zoom but more megapixels.
i saw one of these one night and thay had bunch of them and one windmill looked creepy at night because one of them have 3 cruley blades on it and it gave me goose bumps ...
well...they are very strict about allowing "civilians" onto them....i am not exaggerating when i say this but there is about a million ways to die in or on a wind turbine....i'm about to start working on them again for my 5th summer in a row...great paying job for a college guy like me :-D
NOT quiet! According to the EPA 'noise levels above 45dB disturb sleep & most people can't sleep above noise levels of 70 dB.' Typical turbine is 35-45 db at 350m. Cars: 30mph avg 35 db at 100m. Bedrooms at night: 20-30 db. The 'whoop whoop' from wind farms create a low frequency drumming that penetrates walls & rattles window frames a kilometer away, keeping many awake at night. Some readings show 75 decibels at peak. This is about the amount of noise coming from a washing machine at 10m.
@Chukers They do, however, make very low vibrational noises, which can cause a multitude of health problems in sensitive issues. You should Google search it. It's really interesting, and very unfortunate for those who have to live close to turbines.
those blades are 42.5 meters longs and the towers are 275 feet tall the only way to get into them is to either work for GE owner of the turbine or the company that builds the blades like me
My dad lives in Abilene, and we go out to the windfarms there off of 277 everytime we go. How do you get to climb in them? The look like private property and the doors on the towers locked? I'd love to get inside one...
i am a college student but i climb turbines during the summer...ive climbed the ones in Trent, the ones south of sweetwater, some of the ones by abilene on 277, and the ones north of snyder in Fluvanna...tehy are very tall but it's even a better view from the inside when you look straight up or down....i'll post some videos sometime soon of me on top of one!
Those blades are likely 120 feet long, or near that. The tower itself is probably close to 300 feet. (Saw some of these up close when I was in Sweetwater TX... maybe even this one. How close was this to I-20?)
If you take S. 14th street ofof abilene heading west that is Hwy 277 it was roughly 30 to 45 minutes from abilene... not for sure... its been a while since I went.
Thanks for showing, sadly I had the volume on full blast and bang...

you would think....but more blades mean more weight. Too much weight up top will make it unstable and liable to fall over in high winds.
