The gearbox (at least in a Vestas V136) weighs in at 30 metric tonnes. The crane that is already in the nacelle can lift 3 metric tonnes... So I am guessing this crane can lift at least 30...
I don't believe that a modern 90 degree gear box and a drive shafts with a few carrier bearings would consume that much energy if you placed generator in vertical plane at base of tower.
Every gearing has a efficiency, the more you use the worse it gets in total. There is still the cost factor. It would be very expensive a complicated to build. It is way easier to put everything on top. You need the crane anyway for mounting the blades.
@@philliplopez8745 considering how much the towers move, having an actual drive shaft through the whole tower sounds like a really bad idea. Some Siemens towers (and I am sure other models as well) have a single gear and have the transformers in the bottom....
There already is a crane in at least some of Vestas towers. But considering the gear box weighs in at 30 metric tons and the built in crane (and structure of the nacelle) only lifts 3 metric tons....
Marcus Nilsson build a temporary crane inside the windmill housing and a series of rollers. Have the housing built and lifted with a small 5 ton winch to pull up the temporary crane in pieces that will lift the gearbox and generator lower the temp crane for space and roll parts into place. Sounds much easier but an idea.

wind turbines should be taken out of the world. so that nature can regain its normal windflow. the storms we now are facing is a result of these wind turbine parks. regards Radioamateur SM7H
I'd imagine that first piece is not too easy to maneuver out of that side panel!
It's about time somebody thought of that!
Famous V90 3 mw gearboxes. Imagine the costs if they came up with such things
That's great!!
Есть какие-то характеристики этого крана ?

What is the capacity of the crane? Those components can't be anything but heavy

жаль что я в живую не увижу такие технологий
side load off axis weight would worry me.
Interesting!
Excellent
HI, you know the VT number? This can be interesting for latam
i deliever V47 up to V90 world wide - in project from 50 - 300 unit WTG contact me hojer21@gmail.com
Quite clever.
Cool!
can you send me the video link the one which the original user made of this animation
Wow
Hello. Can I get the address of a company that specializes in this kind of clean energy.. Thanks
TEMOS VAGAS
cool a vestas windturbine
Operations and maintenance infrastructure to get
I waaant one!!
I am working services...
why don't they put the heavy shit at the bottom and use a gear box and drive shaft send power down tower
Because sending the power down a 100 meter tower is not just expensive, it is also not economic.

This is why direct drive turbine exist. They don't need a gearbox anymore since it's a high maintenance part.
Over engineering. A simple crane in the windmill itself would do the trick. Send up a teem of men and it will be done in no time.
