How Big Can Wind Turbines Get?

It doesn’t work, it’s green hype. Stop killing whales!

In America and in England they did studdy how big windparks influence the weather. They both found out that the windturbines act like a mountain and forceing the clowds to rise and lose through rain over 30 % of water. The resault is warmer and dryer weather and up to 30% less rain in the reagon behind the Windturbines. And at a bigger hight the turbines disturbe the natural cold and warm layers of the air and that results in dryer and warmer weather too. So building bigger and more turbines will mess up the climat big time for the land behind.

Renewals are either cheap or clean but NEVER both

SO HOW BIG CAN THEY GET????

Where are those monstrous blades dumped when they expire? I imagine theoretically they can be recycled but I've only seen pics of them filling landfills

You think that's good you should see what we can do with coal.

Scam

I wonder if it would be possible to make a vertically-bladed wind turbine, where the vanes/sails are mounted on a very large circular rail track, with them physically connected to a central generator? Basically sliding along a ~1km diameter low-friction ring gear type assembly?

Why did you shadow ban me? Is there something about wind turbines which needs to be hidden?

I say we build one that just misses touching the moon. And flickers moon dust back to earth on every turn. They would be so nice.

Video is full of lies. Denmark export electicity to Sweden and Norway? This is absolutely BS and lies. The true is oposite. Denmark need to import lots of reliable electricity, made from hydropower, from its Nordic neighbours.

you forgot your first qustion how big

Loved the video, but I have a few questions:
1. I assume the larger the blades the more maintenance it requires? I've heard the blades require constant maintenance because it is exposed to the elements 24/7. I've also heard lighting strikes are also annoying as well.
2. Most turbines have those flashing white (during the day) and red (at night) that serve as aircraft warnings. With the larger blades, do they pose any issues in regards to aircraft?
3. It seems white is the color of choice for wind turbines, but can they be painted any color? For example - painting a turbine beige/sand/tan that resides in the desert.
Awesome video by the way! :)

Beautiful video muh man. Thank you to your team of four 💙

Wind has ALREADY FAILED. NEGATIVE energy required to generate. STOP LYING!!!

Paris looks awful with the turbine

Windmills kill whales.

Great video. Some proper facts with no "this changes everything" click bait hysteria.

next gen nuke better and will lead to more sustainable future

Antonov 225, not 255. It's destroyed now though.

Whatever happened to VAT? Seems like the gave up on them entirely. I actually have one on top of my barn working for 20 years.

5 blade turbines are about 60% more productive and less likely to malfunction

650,000 Megawatts at max output. Zero watts while the air is still.

Folks here swooning over the industrialization of our oceans with no respect to the destruction of of sea life for fake green energy. Glad I am an old f@@@ and won’t be around to see your sullen faces when you see the results of this!

Concerns to meet grid demands have all but vanished?????????

Wake up ! Wind energy is not working. Just in Sweden we burn 140 M3 diesel a hour BCS the politicians closed down 6 perfect functional nuclear plants.
My previous energy cost was 0.035 €/kWh .Now it is 0.1 -0.4€ ofcours engineered by gredy government that now can tax VAT on this amount.
Swedish state is now have greater income from Vattenfall and tax on energy than Swedens total BNP 😁 btw , Danmark is buying swedish energy and has been doing this for 50 years. The nordpool electric market should be closed down , it was created by EU parasites to collect money from citizens, congratulations England that you got out of EU, Brussels has 30.000 employee with a average salary of 25.000 €plus 5000 for unforseen costs , free travel and accommodation. They need money to spin this wheels.

You will probably hit other limits first, but one eventual limit will be as the tip speed approaches the speed of sound and the added drag when that happens.

WRT land based windmills. Instead of building the blades at a factory and then moving them, how about build a modular factory components that can be moved on ordinary roads and build them on site?

This is all nonsense, they will never produce what they cost in dollars, and more important destruction of the environment they will be built in.

Very nice video. Update: wind turbines of 15MW (Vestas V236) and 16MW (Chinese brand, forgot which one) are being made atm with 236 and 252m of diameter. A thing I want to point out is that the blade tip can't exceed the speed of sound, so bigger turbines will turn slower to avoid that. Which means that the gearboxes need bigger ratio's and thus bigger stresses come from there. They want to get to around 30MW turboines by 2030 btw. EDIT: I should have watched the whole video first... Hybrid versions and generators with bigger diameters/more magnetic poles are being developed to to work on lower speeds and avoid gearboxes that are too heavy or prone to damage.

so many lies.. sorry do your research better..

Building windturbines in nature where wildlife is prevelant is extremely destructive, like insanely destructive.

I sure hope that there is also a think tank somewhere that is working hard at figuring out how to recycle these monstrous blades after their life expectancy expires.

Couple wind energy with gravity batteries to save the power like a hydro electric lake does every spring. Replace oil storage tanks with gravity batteries. Grand Canyon or Hoover dam for a couple of locations that have elevation. Also abandoned open pit mines.

I love his narration. It made me fall asleep

The limiting factor on blade length is the speed of sound. The tips of the blades need to stay subsonic.
If you want a super long blade and have to rotate it very slowly to stay subsonic you will not get the energy from the wind that passes unmolested through the inter-blade gap.
I don't see the point in any other consideration in the video. The first limiting factor is always blade tip speed.

In the last decade, then quotes numbers from 2001 to 2019 hmm

I have yet to come across an OBJECTIVE study of benefits and negatives of wind turbines. For benefits I see electricity generated ( how much and for how long until the unit has to be replaced). Of negatives I see the cost to manufacture/install a unit, the cost to dismantle/dispose of material. Let's ignore if the turbine is considered an eyesore/bird killer.

I'm gonna have to stop you right there they haven't really pushed the boundaries. All they really done is made a super inefficient blade Just a little bit more efficient than it's inefficient tentacle. If they put a reverse Archimedes turbine on there
1. You wouldn't have to have such ginomist blades.
2. You would get out 5 times if not 10 times more power.
3. You wouldn't have to have the wind turbine so high up in the air.
And all of that combinates in Less materials wasted More money saved and EVEN more money In your pockets. There's a reason why they call it Mathematical efficiency. Most wind turbine companies are just becoming Edison Putting generators all over the f**** globe. Because they're not thinking like Nicola Tesla. More efficient more powerful more effective and more output

RIP Antonov AN-225

Reduce the cost? From someone who lives in a country where politicians are too dumb to realize that wind turbines are not only expensive, but not actually clean, I can tell you that wind turbines are massively expensive and hugely inefficient. Yes I live in Denmark.
We need nuclear power, and we need it NOW!

Denmark is studying a 500 meter tall 62MW turbine..

Elites can triple fuel cost to faze out fossil fuels. They have electric cars and houses. Sense they own the News and Social Media they can get the poor to vote for them.

It is just not necessary
You can have these turbines 20 times smaller and turning 24/7 without fail year round
The problem isn’t with no wind or turbines it is with the people who are in charge and their egos. It only takes simple common sense !

"I would be 'a-miss' to..." -> "It would be remiss to..."

Ah windturbines.....how about cold fusion...?
