You would think with more modern ones they could design in a failsafe that when the brakes fail, the turbine could turn itself 90 degrees to the wind where it could turn freely but not at excessive speeds until it could be fixed.
what a shitty design, it should at least have blades that can angle like a helicopter so in high wind it doesn't spin so fast, and low wind it can get more torque.
"looks like a storm, should i turn the brakes on?" "holy crap bob, look at all the power turbine #43 is producing, lets see what happens--never mind...."
I remember watching this incident on Danish television. Actually the wind blew so hard that the wings were bended into the mill tower, which is why the tower breaks and falls against the wind.
So what your saying is that the government planted explosives in it and deliberately blew it up, but waited for a storm to come along and make it look like an accident.....? lol
why didnt it put on the brakes and rotate the blades to the direction of least wind resistance like they normally do in conditions they can't handle? i doubt it was even producing electricity, if it was it would have burnt a fuse or the alternator anyways.
Question: Why do you think so many wind turbines are stationary, even in high wind areas?
Answer: Because its really hard to maintain them as the areas they are built on are inaccessable to repair and maintainance machinery. It isnt cost effective to repeair every turbine, which means that at any one time, less than 30% of all turbines in a wind farm are active.
Vestas said the emergency services, it went as expected: fiberglass in the mill succumbed to the pressure and broke. Wreckage and wing debris were scattered over most of the security area that police had created.
Vestas had engineers up in the mill this morning, when the turbine's braking system failed and they were scrambling to get out, writes jp.dk
Vestas is now in the area and are responsible for cleanup in the safety zone, said Falck's (danish emergency department) security manager.
A wind turbine from Vestas has exploded and broken in half outside the small village Halling, located between Hadsten and Hornslet in Jutland. Police had established a safety zone of 400 meters, so no one is hurt.
The mill, which was rampant, and drove in a frantic pace, suddenly exploded into smithereens with a bang. There is now only one third of the mill and back rest are scattered throughout the area, tells TV 2 Østjyllands reporter Donald Livonia, who was on the spot.
I can tell you all, that this video 100% for real. I'm from Denmark and saw it in the news. It blew up near a small town called Hornslet . The official Danish news-station article translated to English: A wind turbine from Vestas has exploded and broken in half outside the small village Halling, located between Hadsten and Hornslet in Jutland. Police had established a safety zone of 400 meters, so no one is hurt. (continued)
I can't explain any of that, but it most certainly isn't fake. It was all over the news here when it happened. I have never really seen a windmill collapse myself, so I don't know how it's "supposed" to look. ;)
Look at it close slow it down and you will the tower that supports it causes the destruction it twisted and the blades struck and the blades broke off I could be wrong the blades could have given also but for sure they struck the tower.
@Sconiers I think you are correct, the tower bent forward from the pressure and when one blade hit the tower because of this they all disintegrated due to the shock going through the entire prop.
Its pretty clear that the control system failed since they normally turn INTO the wind and brake rotation when there's a storm.
hmmm... brake failure? Do the blades tilt to adjust for high wind? or is braking a function of rotor rpm reaching a critical point before being stopped or slowed? Either way, it was a major malfunction.
They have brakes that will normally stop this type of thing from happening. Unfortunately, the braking system on this one was controlled by a Dell computer, and it died

@s6u6r6f6 Dont pigeon hole me you ignoramous , i dont smoke hemp i merely suggest thats its far better to grow a product that produces almost everything oil does and requires no fertilzers or pesticides.
Tell me what good it does to buy billions of barrels of oil and enrich Saudi Arabia ? what good is it to be totally rellient on a few countries for most of our energy needs?
Any country thats serious about its economy and national interest really should be self sufficient in energy.
@s6u6r6f6and what about the marine Life or that oil disaster in Florida! Oil is f**k up, you a like a caveman, "uk uk.. me brun oil and make fire and heat...uk uk me lik fire" well you know! bruning things is not the ONLY!!!! way too make power a thing Humans only are beginning to lean! and greenies you say!! but have you ever wondered where you food coms from? (no it dosent fall from the sky!)
There was a storm. The other windmills shut down due to high winds. This one didn't. They knew it would fail, and it did. It wasn't just "doing it's thing" and failed. It was a unusual event that almost never happens.
and in the end...the overpaid officials all drive out to the site of the "accident" and piss away the money in gasoline for their cars to get there in 2 hours that it took this piece of shit turbine three months to save.
what a circus!
send in the CLOWNS !
hey everybody! LOOK AT ALL THE OTHER JUNK GOING TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
@s6u6r6f6 Well we have had no trouble planting dozens of oil rigs in the most obscure locations in the world then drilling thousands of feet into the sea floor.
How about building a 2000 mile long pipeline - again no problem when its for oil.
How about building dozens of refineries that produce toxic waste that blow up every once in a while.
How about building the biggest ships, 500 000 tons , to carry oil halfway across the world - again no problem as its for oil.
I'd say the main failure was in the blade ptch adjustment - the blades went into superfine pitch (the props on the Stratocruiser had a bad habit of doing the same thing). Then the brake which was supposed to prevent an overspeed failed as well.
The Wind is free....Converting it to electric is expensive. With over 100.000 turbines on line we still wait for the first coal generator to be closed. Billions spent with little in return.
Is there any way to feather those blades? Or heck while were at it, reverse them? Electromagnetic braking is one thing... but why not use the wind itself to stop the rotation?
You are extrememly retarded if you think that was made out of card board . It is made of fiber glass , metal, and wood . It is made of sterdy products unlike cardboard . THink of it's logic... it wouldn't stand as lond as the one in the video . God . Educationa & epople today !
@mark28map no serious electrical generation is produced by the wind turbine. it takes up too much property to build, too much maintenence to keep going, too many replications using both to equal the simplest 'normal' nuclear oil fired or coal generation.
Wind turbines have been around since the days of the rural electrification agency in the 30's without much technological improvement besides size. Its inefficent pipe dream that makes greenies feel good.
@s6u6r6f6 How old are you my little troll? You sound like an angry little troll indeed, like you have a personal vendetta against wind. Did you have a death in the family caused by the migraine headaches turbines supposedly produce? Or maybe you just watch a little too much Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity like so many other sad, unfortunate little trolls in this country? Sigh...
@s6u6r6f6 oh yeah, I see you actually are a Glenn Beck fan just as I assumed. Look up the video "Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" Rally - Interviews With Participants." Were you one of those people?!?!
@ben22285 yes ben explain to s6u6r6f6, because putting fuel generated electricity to an electrical grid has been keeping the prices clearly down.
Denmark is SOOO jumping off eolic power. putting a machine in the sun and that machine produces electricity!!!!!!! how is that good??the right thing to do is to buy and import large amount of a thing that makes that machine produce electricity,that is way cheaper. luckily there are people like srfr6rf6f6rf6fr6rf6rf6rf6rf6rf6rfrf6 to explain us that
What a noble piece of work is a greenie. In comport and revelence: how like a god! Whereupon presented with a dream...how tightly he holds it. How desperately he defends it...
even at its most worthless.
keeping his eolic powder clearly down in its prices.
What ho! Is thereby Denmark the envy of the world !
@s6u6r6f6 Ýou get cost eficiencys from scalling up, small wind farms here and there dont really help the grid that much and cost alot to maintain ect. A large farm of 100 turbines offshore would be far more efficient with regards to constant power production and ease of maintainence.
Accidents at oil refineries happen every day plus there are many hidden costs that the government i.e you and i have to pay for.
multiply the probability of failure....even if that failure is 5 percent.....times 100.
its still Maintenance hog with a short lifespan.
then put the whole grid in THE NORTH SEA. hell of a stable place to put an electrical generation station....in the North Sea....hey, no maintenance problems there, huh?
Easy to get to, calm environment, oh just a fucking IDEAL location, huh?
No.... The wind is not very strong here. Here what it happens:
Wind was up to 100kmph (60mph). If you wach frame by frame, you will see that in 0:16, you have the one rotor blade break appart. Because it was very fast rotation, the rest of rotor was very unbalanced. The centripetal force made second blade hit the pole. Third blade was ruined by inertion from stopping after hit. And the pole colapsed due to impact from blade coused overweight. Solution: Make good brakes in the future! :D
I have seen so many people complain about wind turbines being un fix for use. 1 thing pople need to look at it how many are breaking vs. how many are not
I don't think so guy. The only winds that reach speeds over 300 mph over land are tornados. If you ever saw a super cell developing a tornado, you can see cloud developing rapid rotation. Or you might see a disc shaped cloud turning rapidly before a tornado descends. The clouds in this video are not moving that fast. The most powerful hurricane recorded, Hurricane Rita came close to 300 mph over warm waters. Neither of those types of conditions are given here. Probably wind was < 150 mph
Ok, it's fake, it's not fake...So who knows what the hell happened? If it was going that fast, it probably was not engaged to the dynamo (which provides resistance). Clutch failure? Electrical failure of the generator?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Hey!... Let's close all the coal burning power plants and just use wind and solar!... We'll only be in the dark 50% of the time. How could that affect the economy in a negative way?...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Super expensive to build, and way overrated as an energy alternative source. They also need constant maintenance, along with having a finite life span.
Many areas do not have enough wind to justify there use. When the wind doesn't blow they just sit there.
They actually need less cost in energy terms to build and maintain them than coal plants, per unit of power generated. Do you think coal and oil power stations don't need constant maintenance and have a finite life span? Not even taking into account the thousands of tonnes of fuel they get through.
You would think with more modern ones they could design in a failsafe that when the brakes fail, the turbine could turn itself 90 degrees to the wind where it could turn freely but not at excessive speeds until it could be fixed.

@s6u6r6f6 oh yeah, I see you actually are a Glenn Beck fan just as I assumed. Look up the video "Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" Rally - Interviews With Participants." Were you one of those people?!?!

@ben22285 yes ben explain to s6u6r6f6, because putting fuel generated electricity to an electrical grid has been keeping the prices clearly down.
Denmark is SOOO jumping off eolic power. putting a machine in the sun and that machine produces electricity!!!!!!! how is that good??the right thing to do is to buy and import large amount of a thing that makes that machine produce electricity,that is way cheaper. luckily there are people like srfr6rf6f6rf6fr6rf6rf6rf6rf6rf6rfrf6 to explain us that

stay in Denmark, prince.
....putting a machine in the sun !
....and that machine produces electricity !
What a noble piece of work is a greenie. In comport and revelence: how like a god! Whereupon presented with a dream...how tightly he holds it. How desperately he defends it...
even at its most worthless.
keeping his eolic powder clearly down in its prices.
What ho! Is thereby Denmark the envy of the world !

@s6u6r6f6 Ýou get cost eficiencys from scalling up, small wind farms here and there dont really help the grid that much and cost alot to maintain ect. A large farm of 100 turbines offshore would be far more efficient with regards to constant power production and ease of maintainence.
Accidents at oil refineries happen every day plus there are many hidden costs that the government i.e you and i have to pay for.

multiply the probability of failure....even if that failure is 5 percent.....times 100.
its still Maintenance hog with a short lifespan.
then put the whole grid in THE NORTH SEA. hell of a stable place to put an electrical generation station....in the North Sea....hey, no maintenance problems there, huh?
Easy to get to, calm environment, oh just a fucking IDEAL location, huh?
what are you people THINKING

@mark28map no it wasnt. windmills are designed to run as effective as possible, thats why they have breaks.

It is not a fake. I have a friend that works for a company setting
up and maintaining windturbines. He told me, that this
happens when the large disk break does not work. As you can
see, it is a very important part.
Given the slow rpm they usually operate at, it is a miracle
that the thing didn´t break earlier.

No.... The wind is not very strong here. Here what it happens:
Wind was up to 100kmph (60mph). If you wach frame by frame, you will see that in 0:16, you have the one rotor blade break appart. Because it was very fast rotation, the rest of rotor was very unbalanced. The centripetal force made second blade hit the pole. Third blade was ruined by inertion from stopping after hit. And the pole colapsed due to impact from blade coused overweight. Solution: Make good brakes in the future! :D

Wind speed was not a big factor hear, brake failure was the deciding factor, wind appears to be in the 50 to 60 knot range here, nothing special

What were the wind speeds when this happened?
Zanth1s 2 years ago
390 mph al LEAST!
Ideot0815 2 years ago
I don't think so guy. The only winds that reach speeds over 300 mph over land are tornados. If you ever saw a super cell developing a tornado, you can see cloud developing rapid rotation. Or you might see a disc shaped cloud turning rapidly before a tornado descends. The clouds in this video are not moving that fast. The most powerful hurricane recorded, Hurricane Rita came close to 300 mph over warm waters. Neither of those types of conditions are given here. Probably wind was < 150 mph
Zanth1s 2 years ago
We don't have tornados in Denmark..
WkattyW 2 years ago
So, I'll bet that you neither ever have winds that even get close to 300 mph.
But what I really want to know is, why did this wind mill fail. The manufacturers must have had engineers who did a failure analysis.

Ok, it's fake, it's not fake...So who knows what the hell happened? If it was going that fast, it probably was not engaged to the dynamo (which provides resistance). Clutch failure? Electrical failure of the generator?

Super expensive to build, and way overrated as an energy alternative source. They also need constant maintenance, along with having a finite life span.
Many areas do not have enough wind to justify there use. When the wind doesn't blow they just sit there.
Drill Baby....Drill.
Dealit707 3 years ago
They actually need less cost in energy terms to build and maintain them than coal plants, per unit of power generated. Do you think coal and oil power stations don't need constant maintenance and have a finite life span? Not even taking into account the thousands of tonnes of fuel they get through.
