A wind turbine is a complex mix of engineering technologies. See how this is employed to produce renewable energy and keep the environment safe too.

Sorry, I just got here. Please, may I ask, what did you think was inside of them? How big did you think they were? I'm just curious. Most people use technology without giving it a second thought, but I've always been curious as to how the average person thought something, like a wind turbine, worked. Thanks!

@thefloridaman6527 Жыл бұрын

@@HangTimeDeluxe I am a fairly technical person, but more with computers 😅 I thought: The tower is empty apart from cables and a ladder. The top consists of the rotor with fixed blades attached to the generator and a motor to orientate it according to the wind. The wind direction would be measured with a simple "weathercock" connected to a microcontroller controlling the motor. It's fascinating to see some details of these machines 😁 New ones apparently communicate with each other to adjust themselves in a way that optimizes not the output of each individual turbine but the wind park as a whole 👍

@perstaffanlundgren Жыл бұрын

These are not big! they are very small with today's standards! 250-300 meter wing tip top max height. Is not unusual in new prodjekts today. And often more than 50 units in the wind park, at least sea based installations.

They come in a range of sizes. The small ones are essentially a rotor -> gearbox for overdrive -> shaft -> generator.

@dancoulson6579 4 жыл бұрын

@Andre McGoo In super strong winds, they actually shut themselves down for safety too. The turn the pitch so that the wind will not try to rotate the turbines, and then apply a brake to the blades too, slowing them and holding them in place.

Andre McGoo they are not totally insulated. It’s is just a big lightning pole. The turbine is bonded which is completed different to insulated. Turbines are rated in m/s not miles per hour. Turbine is rated to approx 74 m/s where it will either uproot and rip out the foundations or fall over. Normally don’t write stuff on here but as you tried to berate another individual I thought I’d let you know how wrong you were.

That elevator should have a secondary safety Incase it ever free falls. Probably some kind of mechanism that only moves up and down at a certain speed. A free fall would cause it to lock up like a car seatbelt. I climb cell towers and I'm always attached to the cable with a slide that only moves so fast. You can only fall 6 inches with a cable slide even climbing too fast will make it lock. It's high tech stuff
