Like the three "legs" spreading out the load from the wind's push. Brilliant. The whole affair swings into the wind...Brilliant again. The music...reminds me of "Angel Love".
you forgot one crucial problem, the power transmission cables, the distance to shore, land connection to the grid literally kilometers away. These turbines produce minimal output (3-6 megawatts) with floating turbines over large distances of sea and ocean.
You're a bit behind the times. Currently, the largest turbines are rated at (20MW (MySE18.X-20MW) and floating wind turbines will be the largest possible turbines. I worked on a 7MW floating wind turbine project (MHI Sea Angel) in 2015, which was amongst the largest in the world in then. All offshore WTs are arranged in wind farms of hundreds of MW, offshore farms will be bigger- Gigawatt scale like a nuclear power plant so you aren't making a connection to one turbine. You're right that the grid connection etc. is very expensive but it's a question of returns on investment. You pay for the system up front and it pays for itself over time. How long it takes to do that and move you into profit is dominated by inflation and the cost of raising capital for the project
Nothing is mentioned about the salt impact to these. Existing offshore turbines, imagine this, are suffering pitting from the wind blown salt. Once that starts you have real problems coming up.
@@B_y1n oh excuse me, when salt water blows into a mist and covers objects, does salt not adhere to the surface of the material exposed? I live on the coast and battle salt on our structure continually. 🤔
@@xltek1 Is it an issue for the current wind turbines on the ocean? Or ships and oil rigs? I never heard anything about salt spray. I mean, when the ocean sprays onto a structure and the salt water hardens, I assume it falls off.
The amount of vibrations out of those must terrify sea life that depend on sonar for their life and migration patterns. If we continue to kill our marine life off like we are the earth is doomed. As someone who does understand a bit about fish, this would be like someone screaming in a megaphone at your ear 24/7 until you flee. The fish will flee and I hope will survive someplace else, or they’ll just become extinct.

Very cool! Go X1!
Nice work
well presented video!
Thank you!
Interesting video...👍
Thanks!

It hopes to take offshore wind ... by storm. Hahaha.
Why not put solar on the tower portion the wind turbine? Two birds with one stone!
Make a video on quantum generator patent...
Sailing past the turbine fields off the english south east coast is a lesson in the sheer scales involved in providing power to a large modern society

Do you know how salt is made?
@@B_y1n your point?
@@xltek1
"wind blown salt" in the middle of the ocean? 🤣
