WIND TURBINE WITHOUT BLADES NOR GEARS IS what THEY NEDED!
lIKE THIS ONE:
https://vortexbladeless.com/technology-design/
Vortex Bladeless is a vortex induced vibration resonant wind generator. It harnesses wind energy from a phenomenon of vorticity called Vortex Shedding. Basically, bladeless technology consists of a cylinder fixed vertically with an elastic rod. The cylinder oscillates on a wind range, which then generates electricity through an alternator system. In other words, it is a wind turbine which is not actually a turbine.
I want one!
Wouldn’t it be ironic if it fell on Greta.
Physical injury and legal injury are two different things. Taxpayers were injured.
Did they not expect this wind?
Maybe when they rebuild they should choose a location where there is no wind.
So they don’t work when there’s no wind and they fall over when there is high wind.
Excellent.
Wind mill working? I don’t get it. šš©šš
Sweden disappears for two weeks.
No one notices.
Swede’s were tilting at windmills to begin with.
It had the wind knocked out of it.
Hilariousā¦ makes one wonder why this particular IWT failure got so much attention. The various articles I found about this failure keep mentioning that āno construction people got hurtā which makes one wonder if this IWT had ever run. It of course has to have some info that indicates it was rareā¦ yup, the mandatory statement that it was the first such incident in Sweden.
Apparently the picture at the article about the IWT failure this weekend is for the next failureā¦.
https://renewablesnow.com/news/tower-bolts-failure-led-to-2015-collapse-of-vestas-turbine-in-sweden-559782/ ā¦wait a minute, so this failure was in Sweden too? So I guess the one this past weekend wasnāt the first one. This is quite an interesting failureā¦. says that the analysis indicated the tower bolts fatigued after 3 years. āAccording to the authority, the joint failure is due to fatigue in the bolts that had held together the joint, resulting from the bolts, tower sections and tools not being protected from rain and snow during the installation.ā Thatās a very specific failure mechanismā¦. Are they saying that there was ice on the flange that prevented the sections from being bolted up tight together during construction and so the bolts were not torqued as tight as they should have been after the ice melted?

None of the other failures involved a blade PLUNGE.
https://www.windpowermonthly.com/article/1694007/vestas-edpr-investigate-why-v150-blade-broke-off-ohio-site ā¦..and this one. Very interesting picture at this one and at the bottom of the piece, it says thisā¦ āCEO Henrik Andersen told reporters at a press conference that the issue was related to “high-intensity lightning”.ā Iām almost inclined to believe itā¦. if that blade had of broke up while the thing was spinning, the tower wouldn’t have been left standing due to the massive out of balance forces. Itās almost as if lighting hit the peak point, broke the blade and it flopped over. What is interesting is that the blade would have snapped at the point that it didā¦ say 25 feet from the hub. Why there?
It looks like all of these were Vestas IWTs in the 3 to 4 meg size range. All except for the second one occurred just in the last couple of months. Vestas must be reeling after hits like thisā¦. and thatās just the ones that popped up in a matter of minutes of surfing.
If a Giant wind turbine collapses in northern Sweden, does it make a sound?
A 755 feet tall wind turbine in Arctic Sweden came crashing down on the snow.
The snow cushioned the fall......
