This is going to sound really naive, but as a layman, I had no idea that these were so big or technologically complex inside. Thanks for sharing. GO, clean energy!
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!
@@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 👍
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.
I never knew these were so complex inside! I thought it would be a blade, connected to a drive-shaft and to a generator. Maybe a few regulator circuits. I had no Idea they would have a lift, and lights etc inside! Could almost live in one of them!
@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
Seeing these always gave anxiety, they're so massive and unsettling looking. I had no idea they were so complex inside but watching him go all the way to the top gave me anxiety lol
About two years ago a friend and I were driving through California on Hwy 10 and came across a field of these wind turbines. I commented, "I wonder if there are little apartments at the top of those?. We just laughed! Now I know.
I would love to go up to one of those for once in my life,i also consider them and really beautifull as well besides the non pollution energy solution.Oh see what i did there with that rhyme? some times i amaze even my self ;)
Great video! Can't imagine what it would be like to see one of these from the top of the tower. One question, do you know what the power consumption (oil heater, deicers, lights, etc.) of a typical wind turbine such as this is when there is no wind? Thanks for any information on that.
If a tornado came while you were inside that tower, the out of control spinning rotor might make a loud noise while you were in there. You should probably keep some earplugs in your tool kit.
How do you synch to the grid and stay syched with varying wind speeds? Are these all run in island mode, droop etc...? Very clean looking rig, beats the gas turbine in that area. I also thought Walter Carlos' "Timesteps" would have been a nice soundtrack here... Nice video, love the lift.
I really loved the music very nice choice! Although there was this annoying video of some guy going up somewhere and was kind of distracting the epic music I came here to listen to. Anyway thanks!
At the end this guy said that these are directly hooked up to a National Grid, so one thing I don't understand is this: let's say we don't have National Grid and a farm of these turbines should power a city which needs "X" MW to be powered up, however farm of turbines producing "X+Y" MW, so what happens with "Y" excessive energy produced by a farm of turbines?
It looks a little too comfortable in there. Wind is competing well for cost with fossil fuels today, but it looks likes some cost could be taken out with a more spartan interior. Put the money into reliability and up-time, so workers don't need to make the climb often.
That's a pretty cushy work environment really. Damn near impossible to get hurt if you follow the protocols. I'm sure they insist on to man work teams. The crews that erected the turbine are the real workers.
These are small turbines in comparison to the industrial 300m ones they want to erect around the Galloway hills and indeed most of Scotland but we’re fighting them.
Would be nice if there was an electrolysis/hydrogen fuel cell facility near by to use any excess energy for hydrogen production then convert back to electricity when there is no wind or ship it to locations for hydrogen fuel cell vehicle charging stations.
1:52 I like how they manage to stop the turbine moving without getting rid of the motion blur :-)
Watch that.. Awesome fire on India
Wind turbine has the breacking system
I think the turbine blades come with motion blur painted on them to emphasise how they can come to an absolute standstill in no time.
Phil Ronanはやかさら
Yah that should a molecule used torun a rolling turbine and stop the accu. For fuel i seen it once and the rest are linked and clear
All that sophistication and no toilet at the top.
Nor at the bottom. I suspect the engineers have a 'welfare vehicle' accompanying them.

As layman how could you not be aware of the complexities?

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

@@dancoulson6579 ugh just wasting all that free wind that could have been electricity, what will you do when we run out of wind

thanks for showing how it all works . I'm an engineering student , for us is very important to see this in practice and understand it all .
great
Great video, I always wondered how they looked inside. I would have never guessed there would be an elevator inside, just figured a ladder.
i could just sit and watch turbine spining all day long
Lol, I work on windturbines XD
@@3AceAir Do all of then have lifts or do you have to climb all the way up on some?
@@jesussalinas3074 It depend of the heights ;)
This is an amazing way to produce energy... everytime i go on a road, i love to see this windmill's. Are amazing!!
Untill there is no WIND! How will you watch YT when there is no wind blowing? Numpty
Eduardo Sanchez Turbines not Mills :)
TheHannible how are you gonna watch yt in a nuclear wasteland???
+Hannible 100 idiot. The wind blows forever
I work on windturbines and it's cool too ;)
am I the only one who thought that turbines were smaller?
I always thought the smaller ones were, but I also thought large ones were large.
Same here
Thank you for this informative video! I've always wondered what the inside of these looked like!
really don't trust that elevator
@@World_So_Cold That's really cool, and the service lift is probably a lot safer then the ladder, @PerkyPopcornProductions
J W what’s that? I forgot.

Rustled Angels You’re not alone in the anxiety department. They are insanely huge machines and unsettling to some.
Wow! thank you for the tour, I really want to go inside it everytime I saw wind turbines.. its amazing..
Excellent camera work - lots of effort - appreciated
JR
Great video. I always wondered what it looked like inside of one of these turbines !!
I always use this video to help me fall asleep
I love mountains with awesome turbines like these
Fascinating! Thanks for the video!
Here after seeing a turbine and wondered how the inside looked like. Anyone else???
This is the best video ever! Could you do one for the sea based wind turbines?
Strange how you never see any current videos like this.
great video thanks for showing the inside of the wind turbine
Brilliant video, and very good of Jemaine Clement to take the time
Pretty neat. Enjoyed the video; very imformative. It's quite impressive and more complex than I imagined. 👍🏽🤠 5/24/23
very impressive.. this thing produce green and clean energy... great job..
"Queue happy music between talking segments, perfect"
very well done video, one of the best I've seen on turbines.
This was very well prepared. Information was technical, yet simple for everyone to understand. Should be proud of the result.👌👌

“Thats the turbine stopped” quote of the day.
Thnx for the tour english Jermaine Clement 😀👍
wow thank u for this informative video!!! me and my friend breanna enjoyed it thoroughly!!!! :)
looks great!
thank you so much for this video...
What a nice machine. I work on Senvion WTGs and have worked on Vestas machines too. Very different but very similar at the same time
I thought it was just a pole that only works when it is blown and can't be switched off.
That elevator tho 😂😂
very interesting. thank you for doing this video! well done.

Big thanks for this nice video to improve our knowledge....:)
Wow. I was just playing fh4 and drove into this wind field
If a tornado came while you were inside that tower, the out of control spinning rotor might make a loud noise while you were in there. You should probably keep some earplugs in your tool kit.
Many Many Thanks . . .
Nice video, thank you.
wow amazing didn't know they were so advanced and huge
Very soothing music😌
When i was younger, Ive always tought there was a small controll room inside the top section of the wind turbin, not any generators.
cool video the doors remind me of shuttle doors off the space shuttle
I can't imagine anyone with pink hair climbing that thing to do industrial maintenance in that environment.
The music is so soothing
I imagine it can be a pretty good place to have a nice nap 😴, when you're tired, 😂
What would be nice is a wind turbine that could produce a lot more energy than the energy it took to produce the turbine
Mielenkiintoinen video!
I'd have a 2 way radio with someone outside to make sure it actually stopped😅
That was quite a treat
How do you synch to the grid and stay syched with varying wind speeds? Are these all run in island mode, droop etc...? Very clean looking rig, beats the gas turbine in that area. I also thought Walter Carlos' "Timesteps" would have been a nice soundtrack here... Nice video, love the lift.
excellent presentation
BTW, these are the small sized turbines.
I really loved the music very nice choice! Although there was this annoying video of some guy going up somewhere and was kind of distracting the epic music I came here to listen to. Anyway thanks!
5:25 I always wondered about that :)
thanks
a lot
Cool video thank you ☺️
VERY well done,,,a lift elevator?? Nice
really nice.
Interesting , how many homes can one of these provide electricity to ?
Thanks , be safe up there .
absofuckinglutely amazing!

Foxhound482 His statement did seem simplistic
Turbines can be shut down when there is excessive power being generated. They're usually the first shut down because it's so easy.
Thank you
Fascinating stuff
Fantástic!
i like solar panels more.. but this probably is a better solution for Scotland
estas turbinas hacen girar al motor a la misma frecuencia de la red, y por tanto no necesitan las caras inversoras de electricidad
Nice video job well done
I climbed in one of those coolest thing ever!!!
Im going to build wind turbines in iowa for a living when im older.
Better hit EXP instead if she's in full production. Hitting STOP will engage the breaks and rock the tower pretty hard.
Super!!!
Those fields look like backrooms
Amazing
I've seen pieces of these in transport on the highway.
It looks a little too comfortable in there. Wind is competing well for cost with fossil fuels today, but it looks likes some cost could be taken out with a more spartan interior. Put the money into reliability and up-time, so workers don't need to make the climb often.
Amazing..I ever seen before..but different type..from another company.. they have elevator separate from the stairs.
So Interesting 😎
The music was over the top, its a wind turbine not a space ship
Is that lanyard suitable for cross loading?? ;)
thanks yaaar...
What’s the max speed/rpm the nacelle can pivot at?
That's a pretty cushy work environment really. Damn near impossible to get hurt if you follow the protocols. I'm sure they insist on to man work teams.
The crews that erected the turbine are the real workers.
Wowwwww❤️😳😳😳
Thank uhh thankk uhh so much for this video 🙌
These giant fans is where wind comes from.
These are small turbines in comparison to the industrial 300m ones they want to erect around the Galloway hills and indeed most of Scotland but we’re fighting them.
Such dramatic music for a non dramatic video!
He did not even stop it : ))

I did not know the inside was so big
