Enercon E-126 The world´s largest wind turbine 2/5

[redsquirrelftw]

I want one! 

[germanborrillo]

@redsquirrelftw Me too!

[markkellr]

wind power doesnt save coal burning. if you are running a wind turbine you need to have a coal burning station running at the same time just incase the wind stops.

[electrodacus]

@markkellr If you have enough wind turbine distributed over a large area plus some large flywheel storage devices.

It is more expensive than coal for sure but this because the coal in not priced as it should.

[lordisode]

it would take about 4 to power Mitt Romneys house.... 2 for EACH of his houses.

[SuperDickweed]

Loved the music.

Do German's eat burritos?

[razoredge45]

@SuperDickweed LOL!

[GeorgeFlush322]

Maybe Enercon can sell some to Obama and the American consumers?

[dawoderpfeffer]

@GeorgeFlush322 Of course they can. But what makes you think that the "yes we can guy" want any? His talk? He already has proven to be a big liar. And if he really want something like this he could just buy it and yet he doesn't. He's put into place to make you believe change is coming. And it works. You still are compliant. No revolution. The US is a dieing nation.

[lordisode]

@GeorgeFlush322 Great idea! We need these in America!

[mava96]

@lordisode yeah mate, but what countries would need them first ??

non-Oil producers maybe ? cheers !

[people32321]

On December 24,2006 at 8 o’clock in the morning, a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Jackson was found dead.Doctors couldn’t come up with the cause of his death.His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened.Turns out he was still signed into myspace.She found he had gone to sleep after he read and didn’t repost a chain letter.if you don’t repost this to 6 videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. sorry don’t wanna die

[MegaFridolin]

hay onyone got a clue why enercon has a 126m daimeter and gets 7.5 mw out of this thing and the vestas v160 needs a larger diameter to produce 7mw? is it all down to the gearlex generator and the liquid cooling?

[germanborrillo]

@MegaFridolin it depends on the average wind speed for which it was designed

[VestasBurnsWell]

@MegaFridolin Well, the vestas v160 is built for offshore and the enercon e 126 is built for nearshore (near to the coast) or onshore. I personnally think the gearless generator is more efficent than a generator connected to a gearbox. But you're right, I also think the liquid cooling of the E-126 makes it more efficent.

[alphydan]

@MegaFridolin The Enercon one is designed for a location with very high winds (It also needs to be heavy to withstand those high loads) The Vestas one doesn't exist yet, but should be lighter (per m of blad) ... and yet extract the same amount of energy from a place with less wind (because of the larger rotor area)

[randomgamer0011]

that thing is huge (thats wat she said)

[GamerTystjo]

Why do the germans always try to make it bigger and better? Someday the U.S will have made one 99999999 times as big. ;) lolool

[ark0k4toz]

@GamerTystjo Where will they put it IN SPACE WHERE THERE'S NO WIND? LOL!!

[DjTommyKx]

@ark0k4toz  i loled

[METAL1ON]

The music reminds me of something off the Amiga

[Nuklearfreak]

WOW IT IS REALY LARGE!!!!GO ENERCON!!!!

[J88Wolf]

Do these things only come in one color? : /

[ipodwales911]

Betreibst du den Windpark?

[skatedog05]

"Attention: Danger of life"? c'mon thats worse than the chinese.

[applesmasher101]

I like the music, its like Blade Runner mixed with Donkey Kong.

[fishfuxors]

All the energy used to make and install one of these, How long will it have to run just to get that back?

[Papiermaschee]

@fishfuxors Well it depends from the average wind speed, but it will take about 3-4 month . And after half an year the owner will earn money.

[TheRealDealinlife]

That is to big. Look a The Nwe and Improved generator

[HEADPLATZER]

Germany... YES WE CAN... YES WE CAN

[mastersusaf]

yaa Go Germany, can you send your engineers here to America ??? lol

[JoshClements22]

A larger one originates here in the midwest. Just saying.

[202Braaap]

This 126 is awesome and the look of the blades are sick also tube structure is saweettt.

[ndchevy]

Roscobosco actually surprisingly you only need around 10-15 mph to make them move

[GreenPepperoni99]

That's why Germany is AWESOME (besides 1914-1918 and 1939-1945.). Also, when I learn German, I could probably translate the sign at 1:37.

[GreenPepperoni99]

That's why Germany is AWESOME (besides 1914-1918 and 1939-1945.).

[GayBoyRunning]

thats the uglyest wind turbine...

[foughtwolf]

@GayBoyRunning

Its a propeller on a stick, its not going to be ascetically pleasing, ever.

[GayBoyRunning]

@foughtwolf still they could of gave it a better paint job then what it has.. -_-

[drac00n]

ahahahah!!!, see that one crashing.. i would LMFAO

[StratoBoosterXX]

Now we have a E126 in Magdeburg, Rothensee too :)

[rosscobosco]

Wow thats big, so big it looks Russian, nicht deutch ja!!

Im sure it wouldn't be that efficient to build them that size. They would need a hell of a wind to get those blades turning?

[DeMaffeMensenClub]

What's the name of the song?

[oissela789]

@DeMaffeMensenClub the name of the song is Oxygene 8 played by Jean michel Jarre. Try to search him on youtube.... i'm sure you will like all others songs too! He is the mozart of 20th century! :)

[Velodynamic]

@oissela789

JMJ is indeed the original composer of Oxygene part 8, this track is most likely a cover played by someone else. ;)

[douro20]

If I remember correctly, the blades are composite, and are the largest composite structures ever created.

[vladimir2366fa]

Thanks you, Videos very nice,

[90Blakey]

where is this located?

[germanborrillo]

@90Blakey in emdem germany

[90Blakey]

@germanborrillo i found a wind park....but i never found the largest wind turbin (note i am using google earth) lol

[germanborrillo]

@90Blakey e-126 is in several places. Looking on google earth panoramio activated the following locations: knock (near Emden), osterende (near Cuxhaven), Altenwerder (near Hamburg), estinnes (belgium)

[Fincut81]

@germanborrillo

Altenwerder ist IN Hamburg, lol. 

[erik374]

SO BIG :)

[JumperParkourTeam]

where is this located

[germanborrillo]

@JumperParkourTeam it is in emden, cuxhaven, hamburg, estinnes and georgsfeld.

[joshig1983]

That's almost big enough for the blades to cut through clouds.

[fjbutch]

Majestic !!

[FlipUltraHD]

1:45 enercon ERECTION team

[kjg3000]

Typical panels are roughly 150 W per square meter, so you would need more like 40,000 sq meters, or about 8-9 acres... Of course, the wind blows more hours than the sun shines, so the solar panel would only produce about 1/3 as much energy as the wind turbine here. But the good news is that the solar panels would only cost about 3-4 times as much as the wind turbine to install!

[theinfiniteidea]

what song is this???

[PHOTOIK]

average produce = about 12MWH/day

[WichoWich]

@PHOTOIK Only two hours/day operational operational? You are crazy... It's much more.

[tban73]

Only Germans are capable to produce something like this! Their technology has been and still is far ahead of time. Americans and British keep dreaming... in 50 years you will be able to design and produce something similar.

[sakoshooter48]

@tban73 Yawn! Sit down, the last century showed the world just what German technology can do! Just remember "Arbeit Macht Frei!" Can you hear me now?

[Doa744]

i can't wait to work with the E126 :)

[Hiei2k7]

One Question:

When can we start plunking these in the windy midwest of the USA?

[daafunder]

@Hiei2k7 When Obama wants to buy some

[austintollefson]

@Hiei2k7 When our roads can support that size of turbine. all the big ones in the US are off shore

[Hiei2k7]

@austintollefson

2 Words.

Train Tracks.

[drmodestoesq]

@Hiei2k7 ...and Canada too. Just think the of the middle of winter when the air is the densest and there's that miserable wind howling across the prairies. That's when these things reach maximum efficiency. Farmers with a few dozen of these on their hedgerows (taking up no farmland) would be sitting next to their fireplaces rubbing their hands together and counting their royalty payments.

[Hiei2k7]

@drmodestoesq

damn right. my home state of Illinois has been plunking these down on farmland, farming around the turbine which takes up MAYBE 1 bushel per turbine in corn space, but paying out royally when the winter comes around and the blizzard warnings are in effect.

[suzukiholdenman]

How much power would a solar panel of this size produce??

[germanborrillo]

@suzukiholdenman about 3MW

[venkatreddyravu]

can anybody tell me how much energy will this turbine generates per day?

[germanborrillo]

about 120 MWh

[WichoWich]

@germanborrillo Not true. Depends on the wind factor. The turbine operates within a certain wind speed limits (min and max).

[bdist]

@germanborrillo Production factor rarely ever exceed 0,3. It would likely produce 7MW * 24h * 0,3 = 50 MWh. Rarely ever seen more than 0,4 production factor which would give 67 MWh.

On a perfect day it could generate 160 MWh, but not every day is a perfect day, so 50 MWh on average is a good estimate.

[Blackmail483]

In aurich wird mittlerweile die dritte gebaut:P

[Isacq]

That's German Power

[drmodestoesq]

@Isacq No one is happier than me to see Germans focusing their energy in a creative direction.

[PistonsNr1]

wow that thing is huge

[ultimazer1]

ok let's repower all wind turbine sites in germany with these things and hence increase total power output 6 fold :) awesome! now, that is german engineering for you :)

[iusetano]

Excellent video*****

[hawkermustang]

It only takes two of these turbines to power Al Gores house.

[xdeadstarpsyclonx]

...whats the song used?

[MyBrain7]

Is this the Wind farm of Estinnes, Belgium?

It consist of 11 of these Giants of 200m

[furvert101]

it may possibly be 200 from the ground to the tip height of one of the propellers, but the diameter of the propellers is 126, hence the name. its roughly 420 feet across.

[djpickle68]

These are neato :)

[nosferatuyt]

He he... at the end... the German invasion to UK....!!!

[dfxesp]

buen vídeo 5 estrellas!

[sharon102645]

These guys get it done, wow.

[B3B1G0DD1TSCH]

Aw, sie ist so... so... WOW! *-* <3

[freebolo]

stand ich letzte woche vor :D

[Marcoj1988]

Die E 112 is ja schon riesig.. aber vor ner E 126 würd ich auch mal gerne näher stehen.. ;)

[StegoMan]

Flipante, donde se pueden encontrar??

[germanborrillo]

Creo que solo estan en Alemania, querian poner uno en España cerca de mi pueblo pero no les dejaron porque decian que se iba a ver de demasiado lejos

[nosferatuyt]

Estos españoles... como siempre...

[nosferatuyt]

En Alemania, por ejemplo en Cuxhaven, hay 2 de 150 mts. altura.. En Dinamarca... UK, república Checa... etc.

[germanborrillo]

¿seguro que existen de 150 metros?

[nosferatuyt]

Claro. Según los requerimientos del viento en cada sitio es la altura del equipo. Por supuesto esto depende de un conjunto de factores. Yo trabajo con el De Wind de 2 MW ubicado en Veladero, Argentina, Es un equipo mas chico, pero con 80 mts de altura. palas de 42 mts maso, y es emplazado a mayor altitud en el mundo, 4100 m.s.n.m.

[nosferatuyt]

El de este video, particularmente, tiene que tener una gran altura, se nota por la base que es colosal.

[germanborrillo]

la potencia nominal es de 6 megavatios y la torre mide unos 130 metros. Dicen que ya se está ensayando uno de 8 megavatios

[nosferatuyt]

Ah ok. Por otro lado, De Wind esta desarrollando equipos para bajas intensidades de viento. Estos serían del tipo tunel, y de 2 MW

[jackbeto1010]

Der absolute Wahnsinn!!!

Das Video werde ich mir bestimmt noch 100

mal ansehen

[civildefense]

This wind turbine is amazing.
