The braking mechanism that limits the speed of the wind turbine broke during a storm in Denmark. This was the outcome. 02/22-2008.

Bonus info:

-The tower of the mill was 60m high
-Wind speed was probably around 30 m/s
-You can see a truck at the base of the mill, but nobody was hurt. The mill had been evacuated 400m in each direction.

  • We'll now have to spend billions of dollars in order to safely contain the fallout from that damaged windmill, and people will need to remain at least 50km away for the next half a century. Darn hippies!

    Give him a break, he was being facetious.

  • WORLD RECORD: BIGGEST WIND TURBINE

    Visit TheServiceWeb's Channel

    ZERO-NOISE from gears and generators since they are sealed underground.

    SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS since slow-moving.

    DOES NOT NEED TO OCCUPY A WIDER LANDSCAPE since the turbine can be very tall.

    MAY BE LOWER-COST since it may use timber and other cheaper things.

    ELUDES HURRICANE FORCE since the V-type folding blades automatically close.

    NO FIRE since it is kept cool.

    HELPS THE WIND-ENERGY COMPANIES since it is FREE FOR ALL.

  • @ABritishGamer Made n Denmark big Manufacturers actually He he he he !!! FAIL

  • Thumps up if you are from Denmark.

  • Made in China.

  • Everybody chill out.

  • @quinnweller Hi, I was joking to make a point about the potential differences at a macro level, in terms of impact from currently popular methods of energy generation vs. windmills. Thanks for your response.

  • @evinsteven13 Yes, I was being sarcastic, actually . . .
