Hi many thanks for this well done video. May I ask what Blade is this one? I can see some aero-furniture at the root, on both pressure and suction side! thanks L
This is great footage, I would love to use it in one of my upcoming videos on the concept of design lifetime, to illustrate why pitch bearings are designed to last the full turbine lifetime without being replaced. Could you let me know if you would give permission for me to use the video?
This is a difficult question to answer, and one that I'm probably not entirely qualified to answer. However, I do know that they aren't typically a component that is replaced, they're usually expected to last the life of the turbine.

Yeah that's absolutely fine, maybe you could link my video?
@@kymchapman1110 Great! Thanks so much. And yep of course I can link to your video.
So it was hard to assess from the video how long did it take..
So how many days or hours did it take to do this three bearing replacement?
About 2 days for the work captured in this video, but there's about 4 days work from shut-down to restart of the turbine.
How often does typical commercial blade bearings needs to be replaced or repaired?

very cool! How long in real time did this take to perform?
This was footage from several different turbines. But about 3 days per turbine when weather permitted.
Very cool bloke, well done on the editing. I thought I saw a green helmet?
Thanks Marshall Lloyd. If you're careful not to blink I think the green helmet makes a few appearances
