How Wind Turbines Are Built
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 тра 2024
- Working hundreds of meters above water with components longer than an A380 wingspan and heavier than a steam engine, engineers building the latest generation of wind turbines routinely overcome head-spinning obstacles.
Is it really wobbly up there? Do some turbines actually float?

Thank you engineers who are taking on these amazingly complex challenges to save our planet!
Thank you for this! Traveled to Germany recently and saw these everywhere, was wondering how do they built them!! So amazing!
Thank you for this "high-rolling" tech content! 😄
Clever
Idk why I was thinking about how wind turbines were built at 4:30am but thank you for the extra knowledge 😂
I can peacefully go back to sleep now lol
Same here, except its 2:55 am lol
It's 2:18 am here
It’s 2am and I am on vacation
Definitely inspiring monuments to human engineering and the obvious choice for clean, renewable energy. Studies show that wind power will make up >35% of our world's total energy production by ~2050.
Thank you. I am incredibly amazed. Wow!
I wanted some vertical axis wind turbines too but good all the same
Nope. Coal is better
"Subscribe for more high-rolling tech content" LOL that was good 🤣🤣🤣
Hello I am from India I see video just at 5 AM
Nice video.
Excellent
Pretty cool video:)
I love wind turbines. To me they look super futuristic. And most importantly, they have the lowest CO2 emissions per kwh energy produced.
I proved you wrong on a replies section and yet you continue to lie to us all just so unaware people believe your lies? Pathetic!!!!!!!
I agree with INSECT BITE. He really is right about this issue
@@insectbite1714 I'm sorry, my lies? By the way you proved nothing, because there is nothing to prove. Coal, gas and oil is over. Better to realize it sooner than later
@@Aliaxs just ignore people like INSECT BITE it’s no use talking to them. They wouldn’t change their mind even if the perfect argument is presented to them
@@petergoestohollywood382 too late. I won the argument wind power is already causing mass extinction and the wind farm near my area was canceled thanks to my intelligence.
What remarkable technology! 🤓🙋🏼♀️👍
@Kidreyli refresh my memory as I am not sure what you are referring to.
@Kidreyli I found the thread. I don't know why you didn't just continue there. I reread your four irrelevant points.
@Kidreyli you're 10 years old?
There are several problems with what you wrote and I will try and keep this as simple as I can.
1) Oxygen is not corrosive as it doesn't produce an alkaline or an acid when dissolved in water. It does cause oxidation of certain materials, such as iron.
2) Carbon Dioxide when dissolved in water produces a mild acid called carbonic acid which is corrosive. It causes the destruction of corral reefs and damages buildings, especially metal, concrete, and cement.
3) Oxygen makes up appropriately 20% of the Earth's atmosphere. Even if we converted all the Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen and stored the Carbon, we would only add less than 1% extra Oxygen to the atmosphere.
4) Trees help cool the local environment by creating shade and via a process called transevaporation. This is the same process as how sweat keeps you cool. They also protect crops and animals from heat stress.
5) Trees help prevent salinization of agricultural fields. Salinization is where an excess of salt ends up in the top soil and prevents crops and grass from growing. When trees are removed the ground water rises to the surface and evaporates, but as it evaporates it leaves the salt it is carrying behind. Whilst this can be dealt with by flooding the fields with fresh water, you have to have an abundance supply of fresh water. It is better to have trees that stop this process from happening.
6) Trees help prevent desertification. They do this by holding soils and moisture in the ground. They also act as a barrier to sand. For example China is planting the "Great Green Wall" you can find videos about it here on UA-cam. Both India and Africa are carrying out similar projects.
I hope you find this information helpful.
Edited. I'm always confusing carbolic acid with carbonic acid!
@Kidreyli continued, as for your four points.
1) Ecosia funds the planting of Mangrove forest. Those forests protect fish and other aquatic life as well as acting as spawning grounds.
2) Trees provide food for forests dwelling animals including bears and bees.
3) Plastic pollution is a separate issues and can be tackled via different charities.
Look at the links I have been posting!

*They also have links that fund projects that protect turtles, dolphins, whales, coral reefs, and encourage sustainable fishing policies.
@Kidreyli I'm sorry, my intention wasn't to be rude. You'll have to forgive my bluntness.
I am aware that carbon monoxide is dangerous, but not particularly relevant to our conversation. Most of the historical sources of carbon monoxide have been dealt with via modern technology.
@Kidreyli oxygen levels have been as high as 30% of the Earth's atmosphere. However, even if we converted all the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbon and oxygen, the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere would increase from approximately 20% to 21%
The problem is you're using the wrong words. Oxygen is an oxidizing agent so will "corrode" certain materials. However, that process is called oxidation. Carbon Dioxide is corrosive as it produces carbonic acid when dissolved in water.
I will now study the blade!
They are beautiful! I wish I lived where I could look out my window and see them every day!

Well you can always start by selling your house tearing it down and putting a windmill there
Bravo
so nice
I always wondered are these things heavier than 4014
Question please ,regarding how turbines work
As the outer portions of the blades travel really fast , many hundreds of KMH, I’m puzzled as to how the prevailing wind, (possibly only 50 KMH ) can make it spin so fast, or rather how is the fastest travelling portion of the blade actually helping with the turbine, ?? I can’t sort out why it’s not hindering the speed and power production 🥺🤯
It is all about the amount of energy contained in the wind. Looking at the turbine from the front, the blades are designed to capture as much energy as possible from the incoming wind, while the leading edge of the blade is designed to be as aerodynamic as possible.
@@kasperimerandersen3755 thanks, but where my brain hurts thinking about it is how travelling at hundreds of KPH from a breeze of say 50 kPH isn’t a burden on the fan blade ? How can it be beneficial to the process ? 🤯
I know how difficult it is for a car (no matter how aerodynamic) to travel faster than 300 kph the wind resistance increases expadentially the faster you go, and these fan blades (the outer portions) travel over 500 kph. ? 🤯🤯
@@spinnymathingy3149 It is a burden on the wing, but they're built to withstand that, just like, say, an airplane wing which also can travel at high speeds.
If the blade was against the wind at the same angle from center to tip, you would be correct; it would not be beneficial due to the difference in wing speed. So they correct for that by making the blade angle more and more shallow as it gets toward the tip. That way, the forward push by the wind is the same all along the blade.
@@pjacobsen1000 thanks for that, 👍
@@spinnymathingy3149 with turbine blades and wings, wing tip vortexes and the drag they induce can be mitigated by careful design of the wing (or blade) section. A high aspect ratio will reduce drag losses and smooth the airflow around the tip of the airfoil.
More importantly, how are they recycled.

Coal is better
How you know
Thanks for the excellent video. Considering all that goes into building them and considering how little energy they produce, I cannot imagine that a windmill could be a net positive energy producer unless it operates at max capacity for a million years.
How about a vertical ribbon Turbine
They are in the business of producing the most energy at the lowest cost. If better technology comes along at the same or lower price, they will use it.
Fossil fuels at work
I sure do love wind turbines. So happy to live in a country filled with them.
No u want wind turbines to not be near your house u would rather have them far away so they deforest forests and the construction involves wild untouched trees being destroyed.
Same here, I always feel like I'm living in 2100 when seeing wond farms as for me they are looking super futuristic. Especially compared to those old, dirty, planet destroying coal&gas plants.
@@insectbite1714 no
@@Aliaxs liar. in my area they are canceling wind projects and for a good reason.
@@BertoLaDK yes all people are like that there is NO regard to the enviorment when it comes to making wind turbines they are made from the most polluting materials and placed in the most delicate ecosystems that get deforested for them
uhhhh someone might want to tell the wind farm operator that their turbines at 6:18 are spinning backwards!
I know. Wind turbines most of them do not work people get them just because it helps the deep slate get money🍅😳😴😣👍⛎
Look at a Western movie and you'll notice that stage-coach wheels seem to move backwards. That's caused by the 'strobe' effect of seeing the picture change 30 times per second. Sometimes the motion will be 'stopped' completely. It happens a lot in videos, and can't be cured.
Prefer these than drilling and burning oil

Inspiring Munumnets to human Ingenuity
What about the landfills and the turbine blades that don't EVER go back to mother earth? They should go back to aluminum so that they can be melted and made into other things or blades again. Nothing can be done to fiberglass blades once they are bad.
They last 20 years, producing clean energy. In the end they'll be chopped up and used road filler for something. Fiberglass is inert. What about everything you own in your house and garage? What happens to all of that stuff?
2:14
they look like cigarettes, not wind turbines.
Are there more permanent pieces of pollution than 600 cubic yards of concrete and steel buried in the ground?
Sure, contaminated drinking water or sea water from oil spills.
Instead of a single gigantic turbine on each tower, why not a large number of small turbines?
Efficiency. Engineers have figured these things out so we don't have to .
Ugly, loud, killing birds. My cousin been renovating blades in East Asia. After 2 years at see or at shore, they begin to disintegrate. There is lot of pollution from detached material from the blades ....
Assortment of inclined angles advantages limits for further enhancement models in conceptualise with tenancy agreement 👍
I do not bother about wind turbines in the landscape. How do make electricity ? Nuclear power is not wished because of nuclear waste. Coal power is not wished because CO2 and air pollution. Wind power is also not wished because everything is not wished. So the people should be more tolerant against wind turbines. A good remedy is to give the people living beside wind turbines some financial share. So they are happy, that they can earn some money with "their wind turbines".
Wind turbines are bad for the enviorment as they use up too much concrete.
@@insectbite1714 I'd recommend checking your sources again. Even including the construction (and the concrete) of a wind turbine, they only emit 11gCO2e/kwh. Whereas coal emits more than 800gCO2e/kwh and oil far more than 600gCO2/kwh.
Nuclear energy is typically misunderstood as very unfriendly to the environment but the emissions from the cooling towers are just steam. Nuclear power is actually a really good idea and should be used more often. It’s just dangerous.
And the 9th
Coal is clearly better
Seventhousandtwohundredandthird..
You totally did not explain how the blades are built.
It's a complete eye sore and as the narrator said at the beginning of this video there is nothing environmentally friendly about building one of these, just the amount of quality steel that goes into them, steel I make at the mill I work at that is anything but green, I know people will say we have electric arc furnaces and they are starting to develop hydrogen powered blast furnaces,,, good luck, I wish you well but for right now we use coal, iron ore, we love coal at the mill, we burn it till it becomes coke and use that in our blast furnaces coal is the best thing I've ever seen this planet make only way to make steel, good steel is from scratch, raw material and it takes a lot of fossil fuels, I welcome something new but we just haven't got there yet.

1:45 in this shot the seabed suction piles that the sturdy steel ropes are attached to are visible. But the suction piles aren't subsequently mentioned, just the sturdy steel ropes. Suction piles aren't the noisy pain in the arse to install that driven piles are but they aren't free to install and they weren't supplied by carbon neutral elves either.
Political Statement: the AGW crowd are inherently dishonest. If the AGW crowd were honest and devoted to technical accuracy they would include the CO2 debit that energy sources disingenuously deemed green start life with as well as the CO2 debit to dismantle existing fossil fuel energy plants. But unsurprisingly the AGW crowd like every radical revolution before it draws a huge amount of its support from folks who are profoundly ignorant concerning the system they believe the dismantling of will benefit everyone.

"seals and porpoises". Because mammals are all that matter. That's speciesist.
Great video, though!
You’re joking, right?
@@petergoestohollywood382 There sure is a thick layer of irony on my point, but I truly believe preferring mammals over other organisms is part of the superiority or in group/outgroup complex which also leads to cultural discrimination. We should just be aware of that.
And I am not joking about thinking that it is still a great video.
More to do with the fact these breathe air so humans see them at the surface, at least occasionally....
While I'm sure the incredibly loud process of driving monopiles into the sea bed is disruptive for all sea life it has been observed that wind farms off the Scottish coast are actually encouraging all kinds of sea life (much like an artificial reef)
@@jimurrata6785 Fair point, which hints at the availability bias of humans.
Yes, though my quick literature research hints that the positive effects are not that clear in general. While there may be spill-over effects to the surrounding, they aren't guaranteed in all locations. There is also the risk of attracting invasive species, which could have net negative effects. More research needed.
@@stefan_popp I don't see how something inert "is going to attract invasive species" ?
You're not changing currents, tides, salinity or temperature. You're not bringing or introducing a new species...
They would have to get there on their own.
Certainly there is no promise of habitat creation. At least there is no chance of a spill or well blow out like sometimes happens with other energy platforms in the ocean.
If wind farms create a sanctuary from fishing trawlers or seine netter's I'm all for that.

@@insectbite1714 You obviously don't understand anything about how turbines are made or how they work.
1. Just your statement of "they make global warming" is just nonsensical. Everything contributes to global warming. Some things more than others. Like burning oil, gas or coal just to spin a turbine. When you can get the same outcome with just using the wind itself.
2. Most wind farm that are built (at least in the US) are put up in areas that have already been terraformed or cultivated by agriculture. Agriculture is the biggest contributer (Mainly Beef livestock) to deforestation. So if you actually cared about trees you'd stopped eating beef.
3. I don't know where you get the idea of Methane coming from wind turbines. I think you have some wires crossed upstairs. If you're against Methane leaks, then you should be against using fossil fuels to produce electricity.
