- That looks like a very expensive fire, good thing they didn't sustain casualties from falling debris.

Like a Burning Candle in the Wind (Elton John)
It produced energy that day.
I'm surprised the engineers didn't install automatic fire suppression systems in the units. halon maybe?
Better such fire than a nuke plant explosion
+Alexandre Esquenet nuclear is the way to go.
+Alexandre Esquenet Are you an idiot? It is physically impossible to blow up a nuclear power plant. They're not blowing up bombs in there, the Uranium is a particular ratio of unreactive 238 to reactive 235. The ratio makes it physically impossible for a nuclear power plant to explode. There's a reason they are called *melt downs*.
Fukushima plant did explode due to over pressure of vapors. It is not a nuclear explosion, but the radiations and side effect is the killer.
+Alexandre Esquenet
oh yeah because we have constant tsunamis in the USA, we should definitly abandon nuclear power
"Nuclear plant explosions" - like the ones we're always hearing about in France where over 70% of their electricity is currently generated - up from 50% in the early 1970s. Oh, you didn't hear about them? Gee, I wonder why? LMAO
Oh no! The Wind Turbine Is On Fire🔥🔥💥💥💥
I thought they didn't pollute.
+Gem Guy You're so wrong they catch fire like hot oil!
+joshua felty lol
In the early stages of the video, it looked like a VW engine had been fitted........
+Gem Guy The pollution starts in China with their magnets and goes on for the steel(made with coal)and the huge loads of reinforced concrete in their foundations that also takes shit loads of energy to make. Windmills pollute more than coal fired powerplants! before they even run!
You were lied to...
Did you know that this wind turbine already caught fire, they fixed it and it caught fire Again after 2 months😮
How many carbon credits will the owner have to purchase to redeem that smoke trail?
I'm no expert, or a wind turbine engineer.....but I'd say that's fucked.
I heard sirens after the thing is in a wreck, you can always guarantee Fire Men always turn up even if they get held up in traffic or whatever, 100% guaranteed , even on a Christmas Day.
What exactly is fueling this massive fire? The epoxy around the windings? Are they cooled by mineral oil? I don't see why they would have anything that flammable in a high voltage / high current device like this....
+Paul Zigouras Most likely damage to the insulation in the windings got it started, then started burning. Remember these things do produce a lot of energy in a small space, and the melting (and vaporised) copper, steel and aluminium will make everything around it burn. Oil, floor, anything plastic, aluminium when it's hot enough, glassfibre reinforced plastic, paint. The only stuff left will be things like framework and piping exposed to cooling air flow.
It's hooked up to an electrical grid. The circuit breakers will let through the same current whether it's outbound or inbound, so shorted windings just become a huge electrical heater. The smoke and stuff is burning plastic, but the heat and sparks are from the electricity.
So why is fire such a problem in wind turbines, but you never seem to hear of it in steam turbines?
Okay, guys... Who forgot to grease those bearings after we put this thing together...???
sorry man my bad
should not have built it out of old Hover Board parts
am i the only one just waiting for the propellers to fall off? cause i wanted to see if they did
johannes pettersson x
It did not fall of
Now it's a jet engine.
So, these things kill birds. Maybe, if birds are blind. Dams kill more fish than these kill birds. By the millions. These things don't occupy much land space, only a few square meters and don't mess with the ecosystem like dams or thermoelectric. They are noise pollution. Maybe. If you live in the mountains in the middle of rocks and forest, because that's where most of them are, where the wind is stronger. Or if you're a wild animal. And they're useless. Right. In 2014, Portugal had 61,5% of all electrical production coming from renewable sources, being 54.8% wind and 6.7% solar. Hydro produced 12.7%, fossil cogeneration produced 10.7% and coal (thermoelectric) produced 6.1%. But yeah, they're useless. A useless way of using endless resources and stay away from pollution.
Punta Surf Good for you America is so great!! You can keep it and stay on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean along with your 5 liter V12 detroit muscle oil-burning machines for all i care. And your dollar bills that are worth the paper and the ink they're printed on. FYI that turbine was mounted and maintained by the Spanish, it's not ours. What do we do when there's no wind? There is always wind, that's why it works all year round!!
I got your point. But you could have been a bit more polite on your previous comment, explain yourself differently, less agressive/offensive. You just started a country war for no reason. They do catch fire. How many and for how long to pollute as much as oil rigs that also catch fire? They kill birds. How many, compared to the fish and hundreds of other animals that dams and sea oil rigs kill? How many ecosystems are destroyed by oil infrastructures built on sea and land? How about oil spills? How about all the acres these take, compared to a wind turbine? I'm building my own wind turbine. Most of the videos i watch on youtube are from Americans trying to go offgrid. The largest wind and solar companies are American, for what i've learned. Wind and solar are feasable and sustainable in the U.S.. Why isn't it happening? Lack of political/corporate will because oil plays a big role. They don't want it to happen, it would ruin their business. This is my point of view. Relax and ease your mind buddy. Have a nice week :-)
Valter Lopes Dont worry about the trolls, they just want attention. But the bird thing is an interesting problem, minor compared to dam's and minor compared to knock on effects from air pollution/green house gas emission caused by fossil fuel plants. Unfortunately troll brains are not designed for multilayered problems. I live in Kansas USA and wind turbines are becoming a quite nice secondary source of income on a lot of our farms, with thought (something else that trolls don't bring to the table) it is quite possible to have effective wind farms and our signature wheat fields. I suspect you noticed that the troll didnt mention the oil spill that BP created in the gulf of Mexico, as far as environmental damage goes that event alone overwhelms all the problems caused by all the wind mills in all the world (some 200 million gallons - 760 million liters!! of crude oil)
And you are certainly right about our problems getting anything done over in this country. We have a tremendous problem with the wealthy having WAY to much influence on our government. In an incredible fit of stupidity our courts have removed any restraint to the amount of money that corporations can spend to elect politicians (the legal case is referred to as "Citizens United"), this does not bode well for us in general and specially in the environmental field where pay offs (better air, cleaner water, improved balance of payments) are slow to see, expensive in the beginning and generally take more smarts than trolls even realize can exist.
Glad to hear Portugal is doing so well with alternative energy. Everything I hear out of Europe is showing that you guys are doing great. Saw where Norway has 20% of new car sales all electric vehicles, you guys have tons of things to take well earned pride in
Oh and do keep in mind that these comment things really do attract generally the worst of the citizens of the USA. I suppose you have some Portugues trolls to, right? take care
Thanks for the positive input. Most of the EU and Asian car manufacturers are producing large scale and selling great. The only con so far for electric vehicles is autonomy. They go around 150 miles at full capacity (some more and some less). Good for short distances or city traffic. Eco laws are strict around here. About the trolls... they're everywhere!!
+Punta Surf You unintelligent person. You know what also catches fire, kill birds, cause noise pollution and take up hundreds of acres of land? Cars and planes. Stop complaining about something that is doing the world good, just because you happen to dislike it.
Two men were trapped in one of those in (Norway??) and they died.
in the netherlands!!!
Yea i remember hearing that
Is there any chance it will be up and running by morning?
+DesertDigger1 0%
It might run but not work. Those propellers have ‘ emergency breaks in case the wind goes above the speed limit the generator can handle, just disengage the breaks and the blades will turn, then every thing would go out of wack and the whole tower would be coming down. So, let’s not rush things.
Wtf no
Thanks for sharing!
Produced more pollution than electric.
Oh No! The Wind Turbine Is On Fire
Where's the electricity? ...the reduction of the human carbon footprint? ...the production of energy?
And a few hundred bird's lives were saved.
Oigo hablar en gallego.... seguro que fue en Portugal?
I like your vid’s
were the savings equal to the pollution it was trying to sustain in the first place
04:07 - Quite correct.
The windmill was known as the fire 🔥🔥💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
.
oil filled generator and transformer :)
I am on TH-cam watching this why, how I got here
yes
Warum gibt es da keine Sprinkleranlage?
+Rainer Lampatzer Schlag mal Förderhöhen, Kavitation und Lageenergie nach. Davon kannst du deine Antwort ableiten. Aber ich versuch's mal: damit die Anlage funktionieren könnte, müsste das Löschwasser oben bei der Turbine in einem Tank bzw. Basin gelagert werden. Insbesondere, wenn es sich um eine klassische Sprinkleranlage handelt, bei der eine Glasmembran durch Hitze zerspringt und das Wasser nur durch Eigengewicht durch die Düsen gedrückt wird. Eine Löschanlage mit Pumpen wäre viel zu aufwändig und würde sich wohl aus ökonomischen Gründen nicht lohnen. Kosten-Nutzen-Rechnung.
Da saß nicht nur ein einziger Ingenieur bei, der gepennt hat - das ist etablierte Technik. Ich bin zwar kein Ingenieur, weiß; aber, dass eine Löschanlage verbaut worden wäre, wenn sie Sinn ergeben hätte. So eine Turbine kostet ja bekanntlich eine Menge Geld, da haben sich einige Menschen den Kopf zerbrochen, wie man die Investition zu schützen hat.
Also: So wie das racuht kann das nur Öl sein.
Zu der Menge Geld hätte man mit ein bisschen mehr noch das ölgeschmierte Getriebe durch ein ölloses Getriebe ersetzen können. Oder gleich einen getriebelosen Generator und einen luftgekühlten Transformator.
Ohne Löscheinrichtungen sind in Deutschland solche Brandlasten nicht zulässig. In Protugal vermutlich auch nicht, aber dort interessiert ich eher niemand für solche Kleinigkeiten.
Imerhin ist ja niemand zu (Personen)Schaden gekommen.
Rainer Lampatzer Hast absolut recht mit dem Ölbrand, da muss kohlenwasserstoffbasierte Schmiere verwendet worden sein. Sehr interessant, dass sowas in Deutschland nicht zulässig ist. Wieder was gelernt.
+Rainer Lampatzer Die meisten WEAs brennen ab, weil die Bremse nach Stoerung der Steueranlage ueberlastet wird.
Getriebelose Generatoren finden sich in den meisten Enercon WEAs, wae;hrend Vestas, Siemens und einige andere Hersteller weiterhin mit Getrieben arbeiten.
Edit: TH-cam hatte ein Problem mit den Umlauten, deswegen die seltsame Schreibweise.
Maybe that thing cost a fortune
Look there is no free lunch. Every type of human engineering endeavor has some adverse effects on the environment.
The reality is that wind generators installed at locations with favorable conditions produce electrical energy reliably and with low environmental damage. This was an electrical fire that spread to the fiberglass skin of the generator. It did not fall and was not catastrophic.
Wind and photovoltaic energy solutions beat the hell out of natural gas generation from a CO2 generation standpoint not to mention oil or coal powered power plants.
This planet has a global climate change problem fueled by carbon energy. Wind generators when properly sited are a part of the solution.
Richard P. Nathhorst Micheal Moore would disagree. Check out his film “Planet of the Humans”. In a nutshell, Green energy is a scam and in some ways dirtier then fossil fuels. The burning windmill for instance is built mostly of fiberglass. Hard if not impossible to recycle after its relatively short lifespan. Solar panels, electric cars, bio fuel generators all are filthy and energy intensive when it comes to their manufacture. Not my words. Those are the findings of far left Michel Moore.
Is that thing made of Fiberglas? Because it's burning like Fiberglas.
yes
anchor point for rope a few meters below the fire so rope will not melt , but would need to attatch rope to point before starting work , they had rope for climb but did not bring to front of mill where they had to stand then jump. then wear climbing belts , decend to point and stay there or lower . or use clothes to tie around a mill blade tight maybe tourniquet and decend maybe with arm in clothes loop and loose arm later from low blood flow.
What in the hell are you talking about?
a way to escape the fire, workers died in such a fire , one jumped other burned , l was thinking of a way out for workers. one way is to use the blades , travel down them using chlothes as rope , twised with torniquet to be tight , but then need a way to hang the body to that . l thought of arm under clothes rope but that is not healthy for the arm.
fire prewented going that way l think
So much for cutting down on carbon emissions you will have to install 1000 more just to cover that one that caught on fire. FAIL.
+Adam Caulfield One car uses more carbon in a year than that whole fire.
Gamesa 2.0 MW Wind Turbine. 0:04
Why cut out the part where all this stuff starts falling. Also some long shots to give a sense of the size etc.
I was expecting it to fall at free fall speeds
+Luca Fuoco haha 911 was such a inside job everyone knws it
agreed taledarkside
Doesn't look too old. Electrical and poor maintenance maybe?
Green energy my ass
Your clean energy sending up pollution
somebody lit up in there
Install a sprinkler system perhaps, in case of fire?
The scientist that enables nuclear fusion will guarantee power supply for the entire world / completely pollution and risk free . :D atleast that would be the best ^^.
Did you know the thing fall is a guy working on the wind thing the other guy on the top brines to death
Theres another one that broke even.
Interesting. So much for no or low carbon emissions into the atmosphere! Everything has its benefits, and drawback. I think these do have a limited place (contribution) on the power grid, etc. The "environmentalist ", and other people, who really push this type of technology mostly do so because they stand to gain something (money?) from doing so. my opinion. ...
honestly, why dont people like these things ?
Whats all the fuss about ? I dont get it.
+Panama warehouse I like them but the reason that some people dont is because inside they have break and if the wind is blowing too fast and the break is on the brake can heat up and catch fire then the windmill starts spinning too fast and burning parts fly hundreds of feet into the woods and start forest fires and sometimes when they are way out in the forest no one will know for days. Thats why a lot of people dont like them.
they are known to cause cancer
Yeah in california
+Lowered 7th Gen F150 Sounds to me like a bad design. There is no intelligent reason to hate the entire technology.
+Lowered 7th Gen F150 what? how can a wind turbine cause cancer?
i can hear music at the start
Who is responsible for this pollution ?
Squirrels with matches started this fire.
소ㄷ ㅌㅇ ㅁㄱㄷ 채ㅡㅑㅜㅎ(THE XD IS COMING)
all i can say is that you don't speak spanish in Portugal...
+Pedro Pascoal comentário desnecessário...
In Portugal, they speak Portuguese, which to the untrained ear, sound very much alike. They are both Latin languages, and use similar sentence structure.
Hello. Can I get the address of the giant air fan manufacturer? Electricity is renewable. Thanks...
It's either a vestas V90 or V80
4:04 That is the "control unit" I'm right?'k bye
Its Gamesa wind turbine
Looks like a cigarette ngl
Great, one less Triffid on the Planet.
Build proper power stations FFS.
Lets go green
This is not Portugal. This is Spain.
Is portugal
Me : nothing happens in portugal
Me when i see the video : E
Edit : stop pretending your liking my comment
q coisa louca, sera q foi superaquecimento?
Just add a couple of drops of WD-40 and it will loosen up the blades and she will be good for another 10 years.
It just needs a new paint job.
it burned it's generator
This is in spain not portugal
Again turbine
What about the environment?
fukin duracell
Not as bad as Fukushima 🤷🏼♂️
horrible

Fire brigade just in the nic of time.
Yep totally
There goes a lot of money. But they'll turn in to the insurance company and in return the insurance will get it back with profit from the taxpayers. As always.
Sort of like when nuclear plants malfunction. And when oil rigs explode.
però li fanno proprio bene! Non è facile produrli con un materiale che riesce a bruciare tutto fino all'ultimo anche contro vento
1x nah nahnana
i think it overheat
Woow
the reason?
새 ㅠㅁㅇ ㅁㄴㄴ
-_-2015?
ha ha ha very good
Why are they speaking Italian?
+CL_PRO Can you tell me what language they speak in Madeira Island?
+CL_PRO They are actually speaking Castagian/Spanish
+MadeiraIslands Sounded like Portuguese to me. Either that , or it must be a really, really strange version of Spanish!
Paul Langford Can you tell me what language they speak in Madeira Island?
+CL_PRO GFY
