      @TheChrisEMartin 4 роки тому +14

      @@danchang9976 But that isn't true. The only reason coal and gas plants close is because they are disadvantaged compared to special treatment that wind gets financially. First if wind energy is being generated then it gets first priority for use (it HAS to be bought by the electric companies) - so in windy weather the gas and coal plants have to 'stand down' and they get no compensation. But if it is so windy that all of it cannot be used then the wind companies get paid even though all the wind isn't used! This puts coal and gas at financial damage. Also what happens when the wind doesn't blow? We just had a week of that in UK (Nov 2020) - wind never got above 5% - it was only gas, coal and nuclear that kept things running, otherwise we have blackouts. Same every day actually it is gas (only) that enables power to ramp up as everyone wakes up in morning,

      @danchang9976 4 роки тому +6

      @@TheChrisEMartin yes, but it also means that consumers get cleaner air to breathe and lower bills as wind is now cheaper than gas and coal. Coal and gas is outdated tech, every utility company knows that and that’s why coal will be gone by 2024 at the latest and gas will follow suit in about 20-30 years. Nuclear provides a base load in our grid, followed by wind and solar. After that gas, biomass and hydro is used and if their is still a demand for more they use coal and move some gas plants over to peak demand scenarios where their output changes depending on volatility. It’s outdated tech, it’s going, don’t defend it it’s gone.

    What is a typical failure look like?
    What does a catastrophic failure look like?
    Show how the connect to the grid.
    Show how they stop, start, turn.
    How do they test the motors prior to shipping?
    How do they affect local Eco-systems?
    How about a map showing the amount of homes covered by a "typical" year's generation.
    Then show amount of space required for turbine-to-home ratio scaled-up. Meaning show space needed to power NYC or London in a typical year. How many, how much space at what cost, etc..?
    And how about recycling of old units? How much can be reused?

      @The Curious Mind I can - where I live we are not far away from the biggest onshore farm in the UK, where they have both Siemens and Alstom turbines.
      You can't hear them at all until you are fairly close, 50 metres or so, is the first thing I will say. There's a hum from the generator and electronics, quite similar to what you hear if you're next to a transformer. You a low pitch "swoosh" every time a blade passes by. Also on these ones they drilled a small whole through 1 blade on each turbine which gives a little whistle - that discourages birds and bats from flying too close. The other noise you might hear is a knocking. That's from the guy trapped inside ;) no what that is the yaw drive. Because the motors are very underpowered for the mass at the top the turbine changes direction very slowly, and that noise is just the yaw gear travelling from tooth to tooth. Hope that helps!

    A wind turbine comes to the end of its lifecycle after about 20-25 years. While 99% of a turbine's parts can be re-sold and recycled, the majority of turbine blades are a challenge, so much so that they end up just being buried in a giant 'graveyard of blades' landfill.

    Absolutely everything those guys did in creating those blades in one piece was sheer genius. From the vauum sealed mold to getting epoxy into every nook and crany without air pockets. I expect they ran the hardener and epoxy through vacuum chambers before hand to remove all air pockets and the mixing would also need to be done in a vacuum. Iv seen so many experiments using epoxy and vacuum chambers and still they could not get great results as they tried to remove the air after mixing and putting into the mold. And seeing that guy tear fiber glass in half just with a knot. Unbelievable. I work with fiber glass. To see it snap like that. Its comparable to steel yet easily not as strong yet nothing reasonably priced and so light comes close so its a fair comparison in my opinion.

      However there are huge landfills all over the place, like the one in Wyoming where the rotor blades are sent after their useful life, because they are not recyclable. Not much of the wind turbine is. The price of wind generated power is extortion, Ontario residents are being raped by their electricity suppliers. Calgary's biggest windfarm is due for replacement as it is too old and it will be headed for the landfills soon before being replaced with more of the same.

      The Thor windfarm in Denmark will cost 15,5 billion DKK and have a output of between 800 and 1000 mw, it will probably be around 100 wind turbines, so its around 155 million DKK per wind turbine if the price of the connection to land is divided equally between each wind turbine.

    • @marby602
      @marby602 4 роки тому +4

      A machine screw is a screw or bolt with a thread type which accepts nuts (or other types of twisted on locking devises) possessing the same thread dimension. Example : a 6-32 x 1" screw would take a 6-32 nut..... and..... a 1/2-20 x 5" bolt would take a 1/2-20 nut. BOTH of them have "machine screw threads" and can be called machine screws.
      When the fastener in question has a shank diameter of 1/4" or larger, it's referred to as a BOLT.

    • @RobertSeviour1
      @RobertSeviour1 4 роки тому +3

      The explanation for the use of the word 'screw' is that in German, the word 'Schraube' means screw and/or bolt and whoever made the translation was not aware of the distinction in English.

    Three different times they state that the turbine blade is longer than the wing of the Airbus 380. Given most of us have never seen the wing of the Airbus 380, and since the plane is being taken out of service, they might as well say the blade is half as long as the Titanic.
