Wind Turbine Farm Installation From Scratch :: Engineering On Another Level

[NurseJackie]

It's not as easy at it looks. I've never actually seen a wind turbine up close and with other objects nearby to give them some scale. I've only ever seen them from a distance, and even though I knew they were large, I never knew HOW HUGE they actually are.

This episode explores and reviews the installation process of onshore wind farms. We have managed to put together a step-by-step guide on how exactly these gigantic mysterious structures are transported, assembled, and installed. Big thanks to ERBI, Peikko Group, LM Wind Power, DOLL Fahrzeugbau, GE Europe and, MidAmerican Energy Company for all the amazing informative footage.

1. Fantastic clip. Had to turn down the techno "music" but the video was astonishing.

2. Yeah... the music was distracting.

3. that was so cool to watch.....

i've never seen the foundations for these. humans are such an amazing species..... when we want to be.

4. Looks as though there might be some jobs available!

Holy Cow, Batman! Imagine this on a giant scale. The jobs that would be created are incredible.
I remember George McGovern telling us we could be fossil fuel free in 10 years back in 1972. But the Republicans with the help of people like the Kochs shot so much media shit that the uneducated believed the lies that there was not enough tech or jobs to make a difference.

an excerpt from:

Locksley Hall
By Alfred, Lord Tennyson


...Men, my brothers, men the workers, ever reaping something new:
That which they have done but earnest of the things that they shall do:

For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;

Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight dropping down with costly bales;

Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue;

Far along the world-wide whisper of the south-wind rushing warm,
With the standards of the peoples plunging thro' the thunder-storm;

Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer, and the battle-flags were furl'd
In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world.

There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe,
And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law.
