Wind Generator blows up

holy!..
When I saw the video I thought it would blow up cause of "overcharging" but then..
the fucking thing falls apart!

I have seen this on T.V. the safety brake failed, and the tower was pushed to it's limits. The actual fault was the torsion twisted the tower.

well be able to fight the iranians and the north koreans with this kind of power generation.......please tell OBAMA and AL GORE to GO FUCK THEMSELVES

The green these wind turbines produce is money. As a resident of west Texas I see every day the money generated by the emplacement, maintainence, and revenue generated these things bring in. Bonus is our electric bill just lowered. This is one failing, there are thousands that do not fail and make money. meanwhile we save the petrol to run our tanks and planes.

There is more than enough oil to be found in the contiguous USA to provide energy for many years, unfortunately the green fascists do not want any exploration done and wish to tax the middle class out of existence to further their dictatorial Aims

Dude, a fuckin windmill blew up, get over it.

Marcellus Jacobs, quite THE pioneer of wind generators used Stika Spruce for his blades, straight grained, he covered them in an aluminum and pitch paint, of course his versions had automatic counter weighted feathering propeller blades,. Some of his units are still running save for some replacement brushes made from a dual carbon stack to knock down R.F noise. His machines were the conventional DC type but had high output at low speeds. Brakes on units do not take the load off the blades

I think one of the blades actually hit the tower. The blades 'flex' when the wind hits them. Combine that with excessive wind and failed brakes, and... boom!
