Meanwhile, they start building an average of two new coal power plants a week! These wind turbines are just a smoke screen for the pollution caused by their coal plants. Don't worry I'm sure the new coal power plants are 5G.😂
I love fossil fuel stooges from the fossil fuel industry PR troll think tanks... actually purporting there's environmental damage from wind turbines... like they're so concerned about the environment. Thinking anyone who reads their posts doesn't know who they are and the fact that they are just grasping at straws for false shortcomings of fossil fuel replacing/opposing technology that would take their profits and opulence life styles away from them. As if they actually believe anyone who's not them who's reading their comments... thinks there's any other reason they're here in the comment sections posting
It DOES use power. When idle, it has to be powered to keep the insides of the tower and nacelle warm to stop condensation from destroying the electrics, and power to stop the blades from freezing.
No fēng no power After 5000 hrs of operation, statistics indicate transmission gearing wear out or fatigue failure on the first plantary gearing, not a single large wind turbine made the lifetime goal.
When idle, your body has to be powered by the exothermic emission of a kilo of CO2 a day Please produce a cautionary video showing what happens when you try to stop.
Do you mean that there are heating filaments in the leading edges of the blades with the contact rings on the hub to transmit that high current to and from the power source , the grid

@@GFSwinger1693 Edison actually didn’t have anything to do with it. It was after he had sold his electric company to GE and was misinterpreted later because it was filmed on an Edison Kinetograph.
It seams to me the industry would be better if it pursued turbines that are large but not for ever chasing being the biggest. We need more proven turbines of a size that can be installed and serviced, and produced with less stress, to bring wind power on line more quickly.
The animation in the first third of the video shows the blades in the wrong orientation - with the sharp trailing edge facing forward. The rotor is frequently called „impeller“ which would be an internal rotor. Moment and torque are very similar yet slightly different things.
Soak up the stats on that crane ,,,lifting cap. An all I can say is 👆 cable up and stand back,,,way back. Whatever is on the load line is either going up, get ripped into or be completely scrap after the fact. What a beast
Bearings dont handle torque... They support the peice taking the torque.. they have alot of pressure resting on them though... There support runners essentially good quality is one thing maintenance is another...
They talk about producing over 400,000 MW of power in 20 years. I can assure you that they did not use more than 0.01% of that power, and diesel fuel to produce the wind turbine, steel, transport it and all the workers to the sight. If they are saving $38 per MW in natural gas costs, that would work out to $15 Million dollars of natural gas cost savings over the life of this one wind turbine, and China has thousands of wind turbines over 5 MW in service in 2023.
Such is the speed of the developing China. This video report the installation of the SL 5,000 wind turbine. That was a 5MW unit back in 2011. The biggest wind turbine in 2011 was 7MW. A few days ago China has just erected the world's biggest wind turbine and it was a 16MW unit in 2023.
@@wbaumschlager You are short sighted! China has a total of 365,964MW wind turbines installed across the country. So others further afield may be generating electricity even the one you look at now doesn't. The amount of electricity generated by wind "only" by China in 2022 was 772 TWh. That is enough to power a country like UK for more than two years! It is acceptable to be grudgingly and resentful against others who are doing better than yourself. However you cannot dismiss the fact in the last three years China has installed on average 42,214MW wind turbines per year. If you discount US and Germany there is no country in the world with a "total" wind installation more than what China could install in one year! The GWEC report in 2022 claimed China was responsible for 50.91% of the 93.6GW added globally between 2012 and 2022. If you haven't got the fact right how could you compete with others?
@@malcolmrickarby2313 No, there is no such law that the wind is always blowing somewhere. You can easily have zero everywhere. And even if such a law would exist, you would have to build x times the infrastructure to supply the whole country from each single area.
I would like to see those blades turn without some kind of oil product keeping it greased up. No mention to when this wind turbines life is over you can't recycle any part of it in any way and has to be dumped in a land fill.
the problem is not that oil is used as lubrication, the problem is that oil is burnt to produce energy which is causing climate change. So you cant recycle concrete, steel, copper or neodymium? the only parts that are problematic to recycle are the blades, they will probably be chopped up and used in road surfacing.
They are starting to chop up the blades and use them as filler materials for stuff like residential sound barriers between interstates, and they are experimenting with cement fillers as well. How do I know? I transport both new and failed or old blades in the U.S.

This video is just a smoke screen to divert people's attention away from the fact that they approved the building of two new coal power plants a WEEK in 2022! The idea that they are going green is a farce. They waste the earth's resources more than any other country. In the last 4 to 5 years, they used more concrete than the US did in the last 100+ years. A lot of it was used to build whole cities that are uninhibited. Just like their economy, their cities and infrastructure are crumbling.
So many friends and family that I loved and respected have turned out to be people I don't even want to associate with. They can't be reasoned with. They have no clue how they are being manipulated.
And in 20 years the blades are knackered, cant be recycled and get dumped in a landfill. I love the uses no fuel and causes no polution. No mention of it still using and needing tons of oil and grease. Or the emissions used to produce it. Absolute bollocks.
If you have driven the interstates in Texas and Oklahoma, you can see hundreds of large wind turbines in the 2 MW size range. So this one is 5 MW, so slightly larger. They are now producing 11 MW offshore wind turbines, and on shore up to 5 MW, due to the very large blade size. They are easy to move using a barge, but not the delivery trucks over land. The record largest wind turbine now in China is 16 MW in 2023. Probably a lot larger if you read this in 2025 or 2030.
2011 is generations in turbine design. There is already a SL6000. There are 2 SL5000, one with 128m diameter another with 155m diameter. 5mw doesn't even make it on the wiki list of biggest turbines! Current is 11mw.
While wind power is plentiful and efficient, the amount of photovoltaic energy that falls over the surface of the earth in 1 rotation (24 hrs) is more than enough energy to power the entire earth FOR A WHOLE DAMN YEAR!
How can people not see the renewable energy is not above the sea it is the sea! The tide currents and or surf energy is far more powerful and constant than the wind sun and rivers combined! Plus it is where the energy demand is. Did I say constant and reliable..
Im not sure but I trust it is a lot less, than, if we continued to use fossil fuel to generate the same amount of energy that these WT can produced through its life time.

Either way, maybe these particular wind turbines haven't had any bird strikes (which I Seriously doubt), because they're outside of migration routes, or you know more than ur willing to let on about.. The answer would be found in an honest Maintenance worker who cleans the Blades.
@@erikkorhonen “According to a French study, a wind turbine kills an average of seven birds per year. But out of, say, 10,000 accidental deaths, what does that figure represent? It is estimated that the majority of these collisions are due to crashes into windows. Then come power lines, then cars. Add to that the problem of pesticides and hunting cats. Wind turbines actually come at the bottom of this ranking with only one death out of the 10,000 envisaged.”
@Simon-dm8zv lol that is a single small turbine , now multiple it by all the all the turbines lol imagine thinking "it's not too bad" 😅 too funny and now you think making one way bigger won't be that much of an issue 🤣
@@erikkorhonen What makes you think it is a small turbine? And apart from that, even if it turns out to be 5 times as much, it still is very low and obviously not a reason to stop building turbines.

Do remember that any Nuclear Reactor is Very Expensive , Time consuming to Built , Needs Regulatory Inspection and certification, Have lots of Toxic waste products, Strict and Difficult maintenance procedures, FAILURES can be very destructive , etc. However .... Still the BEST Option available CURRENTLY for Clean and Cheap energy
I would much rather have a wind turbine near my house than to have a nuclear power plant that is 100 miles up river from my home. I think that wind farms will be much more popular and easy to install compared to a over priced and over budget and 3 years over the estimated time to install a new nuclear power station. Even if they can produce power at a fairly low rate, they never seem to make up for the $1 Billion a year they need to pay in interest on the construction loans.
It would be interesting to see how much fossil fuel was consumed to build, transport and install all the parts required including the sub sea base. The chances are the it will not even break even to the power it produces over it,s relatively short serves life. (A maximum of 20 years)
All you have to do is add up the money. That's what money is for. Ot measures every bit of energy all the way down to the ham sandwich a worker had for lunch. Offshore wind in Germany is costing 5 million dollars per megawatt capacity. Operation and maintenance costs are 90 dollars the first year and costs increase every year after that. They only operate at about 35 percent capacity utilization. Due to blade degradation nameplate capacity decreases every by 4.5 percent then in 15 years or so you have decommissioning cost. Absolutely a giant waste of money as everything involved with so called green energy is. Trillions of dollars of malinvestment. The largest misallocation of resources in history. You thought the 2008 housing financial crash was bad wait till you see this one
Life cycle emission analyses have proven that wind turbines make perfect sense. On average it only takes about 6 months of operation to compensate for its emissions.
I love to watch them blow them up when they fall. Only governments invest in these because they don't make money. The movie planet human shows its all a scam
this wold be simplified if the turbine generate air pressure instead of electric this compressed air then can drive a localised generator and air turbine combination also compressed air can be stored in the towers and pipelines
Hello everyone Tomorrow will be the launch of the website of the company that has been operating in the windmill market since 2015. Who wants to join the project, write to me, we'll talk. Good luck to everyone!
The turbine they are building at 41:00 is not the same one that's on the barge at 42:56. I'm amazed at the number of oil company shills making comments.
Off the top of my head estimate - If one considers all the energy needed to mine, make and move all the machines and humans required to make these large turbines, I would say that the turbine will not even be able to recover that energy in its ~ 10 year lifetime. It seems like it is a net negative energy wise.
The Tension Turbine is based on the bicycle wheel. The bicycle wheel is the lightest, strongest, most efficient rotating device known. The Tension Turbine is the most viable of all wind turbines. The Tension Turbine: Half the weight, twice the power. The Tension Turbine has no need of special materials such as carbon fiber to make it. the Tension Turbine does not have shear, so the blade assembly should last many years before being replaced. The Tension Turbine weighs as much as 70 percent less than a regular turbine, yet has as much as 300 percent more blade area in the area where the power is produced. In a few years the Tension Turbine will be the standard of all wind turbines In addition, there is no limit to the size of the Tension turbine. A unit similar to the Tension Turbine has been built as a Ferris wheel in NY, and the diameter is over 500 feet!. This is almost double the limit of the current turbines! this would produce more than 5 times the power of the largest wind turbine in existence.
Biggest waste of resources...... But, as a contractor; it's nice for all my fellow tradesmen and women to keep working.......I guess it serves a purpose...
Well do you remember the 2008 financial crisis? This one will be orders of magnitude larger and instead of housing being the object of malinvestment. This time it is energy. The very foundation of our modern civilization. Good luck to everyone
We spend all this money on creating electricity and then waste so much of it especially in cities, every street light doesn't need to be on all night and office buildings leave lights on 24/7 there is a lot can be done without serious impact on life.
I read that it can withstand biggest storms ever recorded in the area with twenty % spare margin. But one cannot predicts the future and worse storms is likely yet to come.
@@thekinarbo I don’t have any evidence, on things that are yet to happen. But the weather seems more extreme recently. Anyway, I don’t think we need to worry about something that might happened or not, nothing will be built if we do that. Even if there will be a mega storm that we never ever known, the wind turbine probably already passed its useful life.
@@thekinarbo because that's what happens when you add more energy to the atmosphere. You get more weather. So if we keep breaking temperature records, you can bet that we're gonna keep breaking weather records too.
@@satan.is.my.copilot What were the high temps prior to the little ice age? And why wasn't all life destroyed when atmospheric CO2 was 5,000ppm? Stop drinking the marxist kool-aid.
@@Klinsmann1985 haha ha - and my comment just got deleted a second time! I'll try again as it might have triggered a content bot by simply "referring" to things. Anyway, here's what I recommend - Search "Do wind turbines consume electricity, and "Do wind turbines consume fuel" and read many reports proving my claim accurate. There are endless proofs whose research list the same issues with the "energy consumption free wind turbine" claim. Afterall, it's backed by the global warming/climate change hoaxters so that right-out-the-gate reduces the credibility and truthfulness of wind turbine claims.
You may be confused. The original oil companies killed whales 🐋 all over the oceans. Then they could not find enough to light the lamps as they’d killed most of them 🐳. Then they got oil from underground and left the surviving whales alone for a few decades. Now it’s time for the wind mills to help save the world from the energy consumer and make it safe for people and whales 🐋.
If you take a drink every time he says impeller, you are drunk enough by the end of it to not care that it is called a rotor.

The Chinnese love to make things hopefully they just get better and better at manufacturing.
They already are, than, what the rest of the world give them credit for.
they already are good at manufacturing, where do think most things are made ?
All products that can see by the naked eye is there in china they are manufacturer of all products
there is enough gas, oil and coal to last a thousand years!
love chinese japanese and korean engineering .
I'm also believe in this project
Nuclear Energy ftw.
"It does not use fuel or cause pollution" . . . but it Kills Thousands of migrating Birds annually . . .
And ONE Net York City skyscraper office building killed one thousand birds in a single night recently because the lights were on all night.
BS. We'll put you in a little shark cage mounted part way up the pole. You can leave as soon as you send us a picture of ONE BIRD colliding with one of those huge blades.
@@michaelgoble8200 Saw that in the news recently . . . maybe we should ban all lights in skyscrapers ? 🤔
@@jb5music Lol, that Was funny, hats off to your sense of humor . . . . so do I get free meal delivery while I'm up there in my Shark Cage, and who's "We" ? Let me guess, you're either someone who actually puts Labor into building/installing/operating these things or ur from Marketing ? Either way, maybe these particular wind turbines haven't had any bird strikes (which I Seriously doubt), because they're outside of migration routes, or you know more than ur willing to let on about.. The answer would be found in an honest Maintenance worker who cleans the Blades.
how many birds a year will this kill? I would assume more than the smaller ones which kill alot
Not really. Bird kill rate is pretty low.
@@Simon-dm8zv except its not low , at all
@@erikkorhonen “According to a French study, a wind turbine kills an average of seven birds per year. But out of, say, 10,000 accidental deaths, what does that figure represent? It is estimated that the majority of these collisions are due to crashes into windows. Then come power lines, then cars. Add to that the problem of pesticides and hunting cats. Wind turbines actually come at the bottom of this ranking with only one death out of the 10,000 envisaged.”
@Simon-dm8zv lol that is a single small turbine , now multiple it by all the all the turbines lol imagine thinking "it's not too bad" 😅 too funny and now you think making one way bigger won't be that much of an issue 🤣
@@erikkorhonen What makes you think it is a small turbine? And apart from that, even if it turns out to be 5 times as much, it still is very low and obviously not a reason to stop building turbines.

Okay, somebody tell me how the whole base was constructed under the water!!!???
One kilogram of natural uranium will yield about 20,000 times as much energy as the same amount of coal.
you're off by a factor 1000 there. 20 million kilos of coal.
Do remember that any Nuclear Reactor is Very Expensive , Time consuming to Built , Needs Regulatory Inspection and certification, Have lots of Toxic waste products, Strict and Difficult maintenance procedures, FAILURES can be very destructive , etc. However .... Still the BEST Option available CURRENTLY for Clean and Cheap energy
I would much rather have a wind turbine near my house than to have a nuclear power plant that is 100 miles up river from my home. I think that wind farms will be much more popular and easy to install compared to a over priced and over budget and 3 years over the estimated time to install a new nuclear power station. Even if they can produce power at a fairly low rate, they never seem to make up for the $1 Billion a year they need to pay in interest on the construction loans.
@ 1:06 If this is Part 4 of 5, where are parts 1-3 and 5?
Was not into seeing elephant snuff today.
It would be interesting to see how much fossil fuel was consumed to build, transport and install all the parts required including the sub sea base. The chances are the it will not even break even to the power it produces over it,s relatively short serves life. (A maximum of 20 years)
The machinery inside these is huge thousands of hrs of marching.
All you have to do is add up the money. That's what money is for. Ot measures every bit of energy all the way down to the ham sandwich a worker had for lunch. Offshore wind in Germany is costing 5 million dollars per megawatt capacity. Operation and maintenance costs are 90 dollars the first year and costs increase every year after that. They only operate at about 35 percent capacity utilization. Due to blade degradation nameplate capacity decreases every by 4.5 percent then in 15 years or so you have decommissioning cost. Absolutely a giant waste of money as everything involved with so called green energy is. Trillions of dollars of malinvestment. The largest misallocation of resources in history. You thought the 2008 housing financial crash was bad wait till you see this one
I need to add the o and p costs are per megawatthour
Life cycle emission analyses have proven that wind turbines make perfect sense. On average it only takes about 6 months of operation to compensate for its emissions.
I love to watch them blow them up when they fall. Only governments invest in these because they don't make money. The movie planet human shows its all a scam
Does not cause pollution!! What about the fabrication and installation costs.
this wold be simplified if the turbine generate air pressure instead of electric this compressed air then can drive a localised generator and air turbine combination also compressed air can be stored in the towers and pipelines
Why does China always make such grandiose claims during this type of video?
Bro casually showed the elephant being electrocuted. Zero chills!
Doesn’t cause pollution?? What about when they’re torn down and then buried because they can’t be recycled?
Bra ... China with the win
Looking forward to tuning in to “Extinguishing world’s biggest wind turbine fire”
xD
Hello everyone Tomorrow will be the launch of the website of the company that has been operating in the windmill market since 2015. Who wants to join the project, write to me, we'll talk. Good luck to everyone!
The turbine they are building at 41:00 is not the same one that's on the barge at 42:56.
I'm amazed at the number of oil company shills making comments.
And just think. a relatively much smaller, less costly, far longer lasting Nuclear plant could replace 100 of the unsightly damn things.
It doesn't cause pollution until it explodes sending thousands of gallons of oil all over the environment and endless black smoke.
Music video, in which the narrator has to yell against a barrage of background music.
Awesome Content
That is an extremely inefficient way of installing the turbine. It could not be done that way in the open sea far from shore.
Well if you're such an expert on the subject, why aren't you out there doing it?
@@TravelingStacker I am expert in all aspects of offshore wind projects.
@@brianthesnail3815 Well then you should make videos about it and educate people. Instead of telling people you're an expert, show them.
Everything must come at a cost. While you're enjoying this documentary on your brand new iPhone and concerned about pollution😧
Take a shot everytime he says unprecedented.
Really good video but the guys lisp is so annoying
All that for 20yrs?
The documentary stated this was done in 2011. I know the process is the same but this was 12 years ago. Somewhat clickbait.
Off the top of my head estimate - If one considers all the energy needed to mine, make and move all the machines and humans required to make these large turbines, I would say that the turbine will not even be able to recover that energy in its ~ 10 year lifetime. It seems like it is a net negative energy wise.
instead of all this, why not switch a few lights off?
ok you first
The music is annoying
This is not what I was talking about . Anyone can build a supersized fan . Wind is really an unstable source of power . And you can’t control it .
You can't control the sun either. Nor the rain. And you most definitely can't control atomic decay.
you are clueless
@@Simon-dm8zv explain the weather systems that blow through .
The Tension Turbine is based on the bicycle wheel. The bicycle wheel is the lightest, strongest, most efficient rotating device known.
The Tension Turbine is the most viable of all wind turbines.
The Tension Turbine: Half the weight, twice the power.
The Tension Turbine has no need of special materials such as carbon fiber to make it.
the Tension Turbine does not have shear, so the blade assembly should last many years before being replaced.
The Tension Turbine weighs as much as 70 percent less than a regular turbine, yet has as much as 300 percent more blade area in the area where the power is produced.
In a few years the Tension Turbine will be the standard of all wind turbines
In addition, there is no limit to the size of the Tension turbine. A unit similar to the Tension Turbine has been built as a Ferris wheel in NY, and the diameter is over 500 feet!. This is almost double the limit of the current turbines! this would produce more than 5 times the power of the largest wind turbine in existence.
But Alfred, you've been all talk and no beans since what? 2010? that's a lot of years to prove yourself and yet 🤔🤔
The data is here and is valid. I am not a multi millionaire, so construction is kind of not possible for me.@@steven.h0629
The data is accurate, the device is proven. @@steven.h0629
Biggest waste of resources...... But, as a contractor; it's nice for all my fellow tradesmen and women to keep working.......I guess it serves a purpose...
Well do you remember the 2008 financial crisis? This one will be orders of magnitude larger and instead of housing being the object of malinvestment. This time it is energy. The very foundation of our modern civilization. Good luck to everyone
That electrocution of elephant. Horrible
We spend all this money on creating electricity and then waste so much of it especially in cities, every street light doesn't need to be on all night and office buildings leave lights on 24/7 there is a lot can be done without serious impact on life.
I wonder what would happen if these turbines encountered a sustained mega storm.
I read that it can withstand biggest storms ever recorded in the area with twenty % spare margin.
But one cannot predicts the future and worse storms is likely yet to come.
@@madsam0320
Where's your evidence that worse storms are on the way/increasing?
@@thekinarbo I don’t have any evidence, on things that are yet to happen. But the weather seems more extreme recently.
Anyway, I don’t think we need to worry about something that might happened or not, nothing will be built if we do that.
Even if there will be a mega storm that we never ever known, the wind turbine probably already passed its useful life.
@@thekinarbo because that's what happens when you add more energy to the atmosphere. You get more weather. So if we keep breaking temperature records, you can bet that we're gonna keep breaking weather records too.
@@satan.is.my.copilot
What were the high temps prior to the little ice age? And why wasn't all life destroyed when atmospheric CO2 was 5,000ppm?
Stop drinking the marxist kool-aid.
lol them plastic hard hats are really gonna help if one of them propellers falls off.
How much does it cost to install one of these eye sores
They had to get rid of heirs to grab the land.
If it's too loud then turn it down
_"It does not use fuel"_ Less than 20seconds into the video and we're given that blatant lie.
Why is that a lie?
@@Klinsmann1985 haha ha - and my comment just got deleted a second time! I'll try again as it might have triggered a content bot by simply "referring" to things.
Anyway, here's what I recommend - Search "Do wind turbines consume electricity, and "Do wind turbines consume fuel" and read many reports proving my claim accurate.
There are endless proofs whose research list the same issues with the "energy consumption free wind turbine" claim. Afterall, it's backed by the global warming/climate change hoaxters so that right-out-the-gate reduces the credibility and truthfulness of wind turbine claims.
How much money was spent
Way more than they will ever get back
Wow, that’s marvelous, I just wonder how many birds this single windmill is going to kill over its lifetime
2
And what were those two doing instead of avoiding this great big windmill?🐣🐥
Do you know the Speed of the Blade when rotating ? Or is the Bird going to FLY directly into an OBJECT ???
You may want to google search the answer to your question.... to get the other side of the story..
This can kill Whales from 1000 miles away.
You may be confused. The original oil companies killed whales 🐋 all over the oceans. Then they could not find enough to light the lamps as they’d killed most of them 🐳. Then they got oil from underground and left the surviving whales alone for a few decades. Now it’s time for the wind mills to help save the world from the energy consumer and make it safe for people and whales 🐋.
How is it going to kill whales
