Any turbine generating electricity has the issue of speed control. notably preventing over-speeding in the event that the current draw is less than the turbine is trying to provide. The engineering design must have means to prevent it of course. I've no clue what the means is for a wind turbine, I suppose it would have to be feathering the blade because a mechanical brake would have massive heat to dissipate. For consulting engineering field I was in the elevators dumped the electricity into a resistor bank to control speed if there was insufficient demand for the electricity being generated by the elevator.

Low Efficiency for all wind turbines around the world no exception. Since 1919, German physicist Albert Betz declared that the limit for the theoretical maximum efficiency for a wind turbine is 59 % or a factor of 0.59. Today in 2021, more than 100 years later, we still cannot even reach the efficiency of 50%, even with all the powerful computation resources and sophisticated CFD models, and millions spent on building turbines. Most engineering books still tell us 0.40 as a practical efficiency of wind turbines, with the same limit being used for tidal turbines. If we continue to do the same thing over the next 100 years, Mr. Betz would come out of the grave and laugh at us. Maybe the limit is not right, but if we cannot even reach at least 50% efficiency, or figure out what is wrong, the rest of the effort would be futile.

So a locally located power to X factory will be very useful.

0:47 This is why I have a problem with these kinds of propaganda. It's true in the strict sense: it's theoretical maximum output is 67 GW. And that is often used to compare it with other energysources, such as nuclear plants. And then it goes: 10 of these equal 1 nuclear plant of 670 GW. Which is FALSE. The truth is, each and all windmills only deliver between 30-40% of their maximum capacity on average during the year. So, in cost-benefit terms, you need to multiply everything by 3. Comes with it, that windmills only last for about 20 years, while modern nuclear plants go up to 50-60 years. Thus, to compare, the costs need to be multiplied by 3 once again. So actually, it's nine times as expensive than what the greens let you believe is the equivalent of a nuclear power plant. This truth is never mentioned by any Green or proponent of windmills... why? It gets even worse: because windmills are intermittent, you need much more backup to level out the peaks and valleys of energy-production and consumption, and that backup is done by gas, petrol, or coal.

Well AMNB here's the fact of Nuclear power stations, they require massive amounts of investment to keep them running. Name one that's lasted 50 years. Talk about hyperbole. What do they cost? Massively more than a wind turbine. Where's the innovation? There is none. A nuclear power station is simply a regular steam turbine power station using fission as a heat source. A low temperature, low pressure, multi-heat exchanger heat source. From any design / innovation cycle perspective, nuclear power stations are dinosaurs, basically Victorian concepts. But the main reason for investing in wind, is its a distributed network. The idea that the wind is intermittent is a silly naive emotional canard. The wind is always blowing, maybe not where you are, but somewhere. You simply can't think outside the box and are defined by that box and its fibreboard.

lots of non-believers who have no ability to do maths and common sense, point to old turbines in some junk yard and say, "so much for being environmental". 42000 tons of carbon emissions is nearly the equivalent weight of an Iowa class battleship.

Wind energy conversion. In layman's terms, I will explain why 'renewables' are not going to solve the energy needs of a society that takes for granted that turning on a light is a simple process. Wind is not something we 'farm'. Wind is a result of the rotation of the earth at the speed of 1000 Kph at the equator. A wind harnessing device called a wind mill uses this force to push huge aerofoils in one direction that are mounted on a central shaft that has a generator comprising of metallic elements, mostly copper, central to producing the power they are designed for, that requires no fossil fuel to operate. But what it takes to get this machine upright and positioned in such a way and in a place that will cause this physical reaction to take place is something that people are not made aware of, for fear of a concerted back lash by those who have every right to be wary and concerned of the detrimental impact they have on the surrounding countryside and those who live close by . What is involved to get it to that stage and the energy and materials needed to create these machines in it's self is, in no way, is a simple process. Unlike the explanations our governments give us to have us blindly accept there is no other alternative, other than nuclear power, and that is their scare the shit out of us gun. Starting with the mines that all the raw materials come from, then the transportation of this raw material to where they are converted into the millions of individual items such as nuts and bolts and washers to stop them from falling apart requires huge amounts of fossil fuels to power the tractors and trucks and locomotives and ships to get it to the first stage of their production. Using the energy created by coal burning power generators to produce not only the steel needed but for every single item required to have the finished product that will end up cluttering up our skyline and oceans, will take thousands of tons of coal and gas to produce the type of energy required to produce the steel these machines are made of, and that means carbon emissions. Getting all the components to the site needed for the assembly is a major logistical effort that takes thousands of people to perform, all depending on the machinery called cars. boats. and planes to do so. All consuming power that is not produced by coal, but is a vital element in the so called reduction of our dependency on carbon producing fuels for humans and industry to survive. As soon as these machines are on the ground, they start deteriorating and have what is called 'A use by date' after which there will be the requirement to replace them with new ones, and that will end up being thousands at any one time, and very little if anything of them can or will be recycled due to the nature of some of the materials used in their construction, such as the aerofoil blades that are made of synthetics that are not biodegradable. Taking into consideration the average cost to have these machines operating is up to fifty million dollars at a time, it is usually the governments who will subsidize these projects. Believing there will be a return on the money invested in these projects, assisting the multi national companies who control all the natural resources and the extraction of the elements required for the manufacture of all things associated with the renewable energy market.. Solar panels included demanding funds to prop up a process that is flawed. Everything produced for the renewable energy market has to be replaced every five to seven years, and when they are replaced, it will be at twice the cost of the original, due to the depletion of all the natural resources being used becoming more expensive to mine and process. It is self a defeating exercise to keep thinking that 'renewables' can replace our growing thirst for our electronic device driven society to bare. Carbon reduction. ? That went out the door the second they thought that creating millions of tons of carbon in the production of all these devices by burning whats left of our fossil fuels was a good idea. Clueless. The whole lot of them.

1:51 offset 9,000 cars per year. Does that mean in the first year it offsets 9,000 cars, the second year it offsets 18,000 cars, finally offsetting 180,000 cars in its 20th year? If true, then one turbine could replace all cars worldwide given enough time? That does not make sense to me.

It offsets an amount of carbon equivalent to the emissions of 9000 cars during a year. So no, the second year it would still be offsetting the same emissions of the same 9000 cars as it did in the first year.

I am all for green energy and there are many ground breaking things on the horizon but asking questions of what after seems to be taken as hostility against green energy. No motor or solar panels last for ever so when millions are needed to be recycled and replaced what are the steps in place (right now nothing we are struggling to get standardized rules in manufacturing and disposal but it a lot of gray area out there) Hope ya having a awesome day love talking to fellow thinkers. 🖖

I would like to know how much of Environmental Impact review goes into the production a Wind Turbine in comparison to the end purpose of renewable energy that it would produce. And if you use solar panels/electric batteries as part of your reasoning then I want full details on the Environmental Impact that goes into said production of those as well. Out of Sight does NOT make it renewable energy if you move the issue to a country like China who doesn’t actually care about the long term affects.

I think windmills are pretty neat but it seems like there are still a lot of obstacles they need to get over before we can put all our hopes on them. Things like the infrastructure required to put them in efficient spaces or the disposal of the fiberglass blades. I’ll be curious to see what the engineers behind them will do.

Great innovation, but the rooted turbines will at some point need moving so I believe a floating wind turbine farm that is tethered to the seabed is a more sustainable and efficient choice. We do not yet know how far this technology will advance, and so a non rooted turbine would leave future developments readily accepting of what needs altering to suit its developed needs. "It is not the strongest that will survive but they more adaptable to change"

@@phillyunrau4736 Correct. These new energy innovations via turbine use do not require global industry sized companies to produce and help distribute the power. This also applies to production and distribution of Green Hydrogen. We are no longer reliant on drilling company expertise. We can now easily return to smaller more independent business models for the production and distribution of wind turbine energy products. For example, there are many B road locations that would serve public infrastructure well if they had an added Green Hydrogen or electric charging facility for transport vehicles built upon them. If I had been paid money throughout my lifetime I would have invested in an independent supply chain of Green Energy solutions upon the outskirts of cities, towns, villages, throughout the countries of earth. May Christ be with our choices of today for the good health of they yet unborn to breathing the air and drinking the waters of this world. God bless

@@phillyunrau4736 Hi. I amn't receiving these messages properly but am responding to what little I can read of them best I can. I do not follow any particular order, only a spiritual teaching that is not beneath the instruction of politicised economy. I was never given a place in commerce so was without a inclusion to be part of, so returned to my childhood catholic upbringing to try and find some encouragement in life. I have been miserably targeted by a people who do not want your life to deviate from what they gain importance via, so attempt to prevent any encouragement that may lead to a strengthening of difference, a weakening of their grip so to speak. I am of course an uneducated and unemployed 48 year old man with no inclusion in a productive place in society, so am an easy target to their employed endeavours. This devised debilitation has brought my life to the surroundings of a policed medical company arrangement (with all its mafia and corrupt political attachments) that has chosen to unethically experiment upon my biology and functionality. I am continuously monitored for everything I think and do by a people who proclaim my life to mean nothing to them when in fact I am the source of their encouraged link to a gained prosperity in their lives. I am of course Scottish and not English so suffer the retardation of a victimised person subject to a system of slavery via professionally contrived conflicts. Those true to living the teachings of Christ (they unwilling to adulate self or personal status via economy) have my full respect and so my encouraged following, however much that may merit. I of course fail miserably under such scrutiny and tend towards a little too much self analysis. I hope this answers your question, or at least the little I can see of it. God bless you in your efforts.
