Dale is fantastic. Perserverance - not everyone has it. Dale has it in spades - and that's what makes him successful. There's nothing wrong in being exactly who you want to be. I wish Dale continued success and may he inspire many others.
This is great, what we really need is a small bladeless turbine that meets the requirements to power a single home, and how to setup a battery inverter system that joins the house wiring
We need more people like Dale Vince in this country. Another great video Robert, thank you.
I agree! x1 turbine powering the red and blue LEDs, heaters and pumps in a hydroponic greenhouse growing all the vegetables currently imported from the rest of the world, as well as charging the machinery and the farmer's car.
A local factory, to make local turbines, to power a local shop for local people!
Royston Vasey!
Are you local?
There's nothing for you here
jeales895 Hehe
this is brilliant haha
love a good league of gentlemen quote
Two wind turbines stood on top of a hill.
One asks the other "Do you listen to much Rap music?"
"No, of course not," he replies "I'm a big metal fan!"
fiber glass. sry.
Cloggsy, for the pun. (Mo, it had to be metal for the pun to work.)
again, sry...
no as rap is crap
haha, good one
Keep up the good work, I went to Denmark in 1996 to learn and work with small windturbines. They are definitely a good practice for small communities. Let’s also not forget there are a lot of storage possibilities to produce heat with excess energy. E.g. sand battery at 600 Celsius
I'm from the states. All I can say it's great to see anyone open a local business and keeping locals working and with innovation that will not only better the quality of life for some. But in the end better for the world. Good luck with wind turbine business!!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I'm really enjoying the wind power episodes, it's so neat to see how much progress is being made with wind power and just how viable an option it is becoming.
Good god this country needs more people like this, awesome attitude.
The joys of UA-cam.. I love this show.
Robert. Love your program. Decent detail without being too technical. Amusing, frivolous and not boring. Most of all, your coverage of different topics so green people like me don't have to hunt them down and research them myself.
So awesome, thank you for all of the episodes so far! When good people take on a worthy mission it works like this and helps make a better reality for all of us. Thank you!
The small version looks like a classic windmill from western movies. Kind of awed by Dale as a businessman. Truly creative businessmen are vanishingly rare, let alone ethically motivated.
I've seen this months to years ago, and it came 'round again. I hope the business is doing well. Wonderful when you can make your own products and solutions to meet your own country's needs at home. Very well done.
Thank you Robert for all you are doing with the show it's great for keeping me updated with all the E.V. and Eco stuff in fun way that kryten would be proud of 😃
What an amazing company Britwind is. I hope Dale is recognized for what he has achieved, Brilliant!
How fantastic! Wishing everyone at brit wind a bright future. Thank you
Fantastic, love to hear a British business doing well & investing in our own little group of nations. Well done! 🎄🎉🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Looks like a Great product. nice to see some UK based manufacturing thanks for sharing.
Another great production.. good work!
This is the type of installation that will make a big difference. Low cost, broad distribution. Great show
Robert, this is the first I have heard of BritWind and I have to say its very exciting to know we have this in the UK. Thank you for the education and the funny delivery with Dale.
Nice to see Robert channeling Kryten. Or is it the other way around ;)
Yeah. I hadn't realised that Evance had been reborn as Britwind. That Dale is a busy fellow isn't he? As someone said he's the poor-man's Elon Musk: has his own EV project, power company, turbine company, charger system, (an football team) but is somehow rather more British about it (hippy, scruffy, and only a millionaire, not billionaire).
Fantastic to see investment in complete turbines happening in the UK, even if they are only quite small. Ecotricity seem to be going from strength to strength, more power to them!
Nice PMA turbine. Great to see it being made in the UK as a commercial thing, rather than just efficient DIY turbines 😁
It's not 'just a spring' that is being used to regulate the wind/yaw, but a well designed, critical component. I designed one for that use in the North of England some years ago and it needs a lot of data to get things right. Nice little company, good to see.
Wow those are high quality wind turbines, very impressive!
Thank you very much, Robert! Your videos give me hope...
megawatt hours are written MWh, not mWh.
for future reference:
the prefix mega- (meaning ×1 000 000) is shortened with a capital M, lowercase m means mili- (/1 000).
Thanks, all tips very welcome.
DA rules should be spelt the rules.......
I was 14 when I created this account, and I was trying to Be Cool™
Yep, that what I was going to tell them :D Thanks!
3kWh/day per house? is that how they are calculation those "15 Houses worth". Just how many kWh per day per turbine? I get lost in this translations :P
Great video. It's really cool to see how local businesses are making renewables
Watched this a couple of years back. Since then, I've learnt about mold making, electronics, compliant mechanisms, and CAD design. This is a very doable project almost anywhere in the world. Yes, even the mold/oven set-up is possible. You'll need a custom CNC machine that can go that long, but plenty of open source designs with flexible dimensions
You might have any schematics/ design for the 5kw r9000? Thanks
This video is 6 years old so of course it's easier and cheaper to make these now
Slightly awkward interview I thought, the guy wasn't exactly that forthcoming and Robert had to work hard to keep things flowing
but i liked that
He answered everything, explained things fairly well. I thought he was ok.
@@jimbanda
Ya, that he’s building wind turbines not being an actor probably makes him more work focused than interview friendly. I see no concerns with that
another great episode. always learning. thank you
Love this show! Wish we had a cost breakdown though!!
Congrats for the company Dale!
What an amazing company. I wish more would do this. I would love to live off the grid
This dude had such a calm demeanour. Really enjoyed this interview.
I worked in the renewable energy field for a decade until recently, and as a rule of thumb, the smaller the wind turbine, the less efficient, and the more it loses out to solar on a cost basis. Even though its bloody windy here,(west australia) its not economic to install small scale wind turbines. Large scale works well.
"and the more it loses out to solar on a cost basis"... a lot less to in Scotland.
very cool stuff
Hey Jehu, hows the powerwall and the bus going !!! Love your channel.
As a long time Ecotricity customer (and watcher of Fully Charged!) its good to see some of the manufacturing being done in the UK to help the renewables revolution. And fair play to Dale: whilst I've disagreed with him on various things he does tend to put his time and effort where his mouth is and get results. I'm interested to hear how the wave/tide work Ecotricity were involved with is getting on too - not heard much about that in the last year or so.
Oh, and please: no roof top wind turbines. That's a terrible moment in the march of renewables that should be consigned to the bin of history. Lets hope we don't see them back in B&Q again!
I like this guy! No bullshit! A rarity on this show....
As always great stuff , Rob.
Thank you been looking for a small British made turbine 👍
Thanks for posting ;0) Really enjoyed :0)
Great job Robert - thank you.
I couldn't help but feel this guy really wasn't in to the whole interview etc. Good work Robert trying to squeeze some personality out of him.
yeah he's pretty annoying Robert did well.
He's got Robert down as a bit of a nob really.
I was wondering only today whether a hamlet like ours should be erecting a collective wind turbine.... and here I the video!! It must be fate 🙂 and the factory is 12 miles away 😁
Great show! I'm subscribed :)
If it were windy in our area, would love to have one of those! But yeah, sun power is good enough for us, except during rainy season.
Funny AND educational! I laughed the hardest at this video so far. Good job with the carrot graphics, that was pretty funny.
Good for them making all the parts for it.
At £31K installed for the R9000 its not really for the general public. It needs to be in the £5K area to really catch on but maybe creating around 4Kw to augment a Solar PV Batt blended system.

A auto can cost 30-50k and last maybe 5-10 years and will lose value but this can start paying me back $$ which a car cannot. Whats more important a nice car or power for life ( buy a used car)
@@jkprops There is a good chance, that it never makes enough electricity to pay for the total installation cost. I can use a car to go work and to make way more money vs what this Wind Turbine can ever make ...
Mike B Three month warranty?. Avoid!
i can't put in words how this video was fascinating!
but i can say, i want one of those mini wind turbine in my home!
These small companies are just awesome and phenomenal.
Great video as always!!
Great work and I agree The sea is made by drops of water!
great episode as per usual, thanks
Well done! Interesting and entertaining.
I really love the fact we have some home grown engineering companies at the cutting edge of these subjects!
Whenever I talk to people about windpower, they always say "not in my back yard", but if these are so ugly then so are motorways and railways, so why not put these up alongside motorways and railways, that way all the uglyness is in one place?
See this is very close to my train of thought. Why don't we utilize the wind generated by vehicles on motorways? Place vertical windmills that will catch either natural wind or wind from passing vehicles to help generate more electricity for the surrounding area?
local farmer here had the same view, then they offered him around $100,000 per generator to install on his property, his answer then was stick as many as you can fit there.
I think one major problem is ice, that will be thrown off the blades randomly in winter. That's why placing them near traffic is a bad idea.
@@lookatthisvidsandfun here they are placed no where near roads at all, but I am in outback Australia and ice is the least of our worries. but they would all be a good 4 to 5 kilometres from the roads.
You'd be surprised to know that Ice Throw, even in cold climates, is a bit of a rarity as the ice on the blades deforms the airflow, makes the blades heavy and affects the spinning of the blades. the main problem with turbines near main roads is something called "flicker". basically when the sun interacts with the movement of the blades to create shadows or reflections that are distracting and therefore dangerous to drivers
I love your vids because they are so honest, it's so refreshing!
I have faith in our country's ability to do well. We will be world leaders in all sorts of ways. I'm really pleased to see this English company making English made products and selling worldwide goods.
I personally grow predominantly peppers, celery and curly lettuce some tomatoes 🍅. My cucumbers 🥒 failed to get started. Way too much rain.
Brilliant work on those windmills
Dale Vince is not quite right in saying that turbines with a gearbox should spin at the same wind speed. Normally the arrangement in modern turbines will consist of a gearbox driving a high speed shaft connected to a DFIG (doubly-feed induction generator) plus a converter. This together allows the generator to spin at a frequency different to that of the grid
An Easter European here (if this description still means anything), love the British humor and your channel. :)
We love the Easter Europeans, they taste all chocolaty :D
Unquestionably Vince's comment about Eastern Europeans is derogatory in nature. The reaction of the host of fully charged in general and the childish giggles are totally inappropriate. I am startled by this preposterous interplay. I can't see any humour in this at all. Vince is actually an ageing fucker who dumped his wife and neglected his son without a shadow of gilt. We needs less people like Vince in the UK and more Easter Europeans immigrants if we are ever to make Britain great again!
british and humor can't be in the same sentence ...
Aboelenein, you need to watch Carry On Camping. Even if you don't understand a word of it, the visuals will make perfect sense. If you don't find that funny, there's no hope for you. Try Monty Python's Life of Brian if you're more of an intellectual. I could go on... so I will; Spike Milligan, Dave Allen, The Two Ronnies, Tommy Cooper, Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther movies and The Goon Show, Billy Connolly, Rowan Atkinson, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ken Dodd etc.
We invented humour. We had to since every other foreign bugger has invaded us! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_humour
Where do you live and what do you find humorous? I'm genuinely interested as you have a very unusual name. Are you sure you spelt it correctly? That's British humour! :-p
By the way, for anyone who's unaware, you choose to take offence. Your reaction is a choice, albeit an unconscious one until it is pointed out to you. A more constructive approach is to try to understand why someone might say what they do and examine it for it's validity as an argument before choosing to dismiss their opinion as faulty logic.
The first one looks like the project I have left over in my shed from when I taught engineering in high school! Keep thinking I’ll finish it and put it into service. They are not hard to produce.
Brilliant video as usual, Dale always reminds me of Peter Richardson's character spider webb in bad news for some reason, looking forward to the next video.
Just signed up with Ecotricity and on the brink of leasing a BMW i3 REx. All down to your channel. Thank you, and I'm proud to support you on Patreon!
It's fantastic to see Great Britain making things again.
These are pretty neat turbines. I would imagine that they would make a lot of sense dotted around farms and villages.
Started to press like before I even watch now.....so good
Great to see this kind of hi tech manufacturing in an advanced country.
What a great company. Helping us all to have cleaner air and cheaper electricity.
Great people do this kind of things
The electricity may not be cheaper...
Excellent. Do more videos on companies like this.
BritWind is on the right track.
another great video
Way awesome. I want lots of them.
This is a great view of the generation side of wind power, but I would have been really interested to see the storage and distribution side too.
Heyyy It's Kryten! Bloody brilliant!
bare warehouse roofs right next to solar panel fields is a bugbear of mine too Bobby! Didn't realise the size of the difference in power generated between domestic wind and solar though.
Smelly vision I like that quick invention of words
Quick tip - units are case-sensitive, so by putting mWh you were saying milliwatt hours as opposed to megawatt hours (MWh).
Very informative.
Brilliant one- that! Just putter out to pasture and turn on the lights so the cows can come home!
One of these bigger ones, situated on the triangle of grass would power both streets on the estate where I live. 3 of them would power the entire estate. And we have the land to site them on!
*It amazes me that a huge Wind Turbine (only by 5m smaller than the London Eye) 130 metres tall (590 Feet) built near me in a Valley Rotates Most Days. Can be seen from my house (Severn Trent Water) Each turbine generates enough electricity to power around 1500 homes. So it's not just for on Hills*
Hi there, its good to watch this episode and know about the British made wind turbines. But I guess the video could be much more useful to some audiances if you asked questions like how much it costs, how many years warranty, how long a customer has to wait till they get one etc instead of discussing only the building aspects of the machine.
A manufacturer of axle flux, I’m glad you have a market.
Good stuff, love it.
This is the first place I see the Wp/Wh equivalent, 3 times solar, nice.
At 6:44 you should use Mega Watt, not milli Watt ^^
Aww I get warm fuzzies seeing the old intro
Out standing shipmate. Press on.
Like it, Love it, Live it.
5:11 Omnivore eats both meat and veggies, Carnivore only eats meat and nothing else!
Thank you for correcting my error. I always learn from critical comments, as long as they're not abusive. Our dog is a 'vomnivore' because.... well, you can imagine. EEeuuuuuw.
Unless you do really eat a 100% meat diet of course :)
Ralph Zimmermann I'm very sorry if you googled "vore".
My point was there's a fetish called vore I thought you might find. If you didn't, good job.
Jimmy B# I've been researching into battery repairing and discovered a great website at Jons Mender Guide (check it out on google)
It's an oldie but a goodie
You should do an episode on Minesto - A Swedish based company that is working on underwater kites to harness the power of the currents. They are planning on installing a set of underwater kites somewhere in Whales sometime in 2017!
Would have been interested to hear how much noise there is from one of these as I used to holiday on a Hebridean island where the cottage was next door to a house with a wind generator on a 15m mast and the noise as it rotated was an awful and continuous day and night swooshing irrespective of the wind speed. After 2 summers rental we never went back to that cottage and chose one at the other end of the island!
"Windy Islands"... Bravo for putting all that beans-on-toast to good use... XD
Need these more in scotland, starting saving now maybe
Maybe ... maybe not. What is your average annual wind speed, what do you pay per kWhr of electricity, and how much many kWhrs do you use per month?
The main point to take away from this video is that you need as big arms as possible on your turbine since doubling the arm length quadruples the power output (square relationship).
Be great to have a small one of these for winter off grid power.
No suggestion of cost.
Love the British made nice one
I think we'll be importing some of these into Canada unless Canadian companies spring into action.
