“Thermally damaged” aka caught on fire.

Nice of the turbine to wait for the smoke to clear before falling down. It is appreciated.

So.. Is "Thermally damaged" just $5 words for "It caught fire"?

"thermally damaged" is a fun way of saying it lit the eff up.

"Thermally Damaged", back in my day we used to just say 'burnt' 😛

Thermally Damaged? you mean the one that caught on fire.

“Thermally damaged” “oh interesting they must mean because of extreme heat or cold or something.” >a charred power unit and one blade completely gone already because of a unit-destroying fire “Oh…”

I love how "thermally damaged" was used to describe it rather than "burnt up"

If our ancestors used the fact that machines sometimes break as justification to never build or use machines, humans would never have been able to launch rockets into space to deploy satellites to link handheld computers to a video service so that they could do exactly that thousands of years later.

Nice the way the subtle watermark emerges from the dust cloud approaching.

I'm guessing you guys will be getting much busier now as all the first gen machines are approaching if not over 20 years of age and running out of service hours. The green revolution has taken a distinct brown tinge.

So gracefully falls down.

Dude, even the camera vibrated because of the sheer weight of a falling wind turbine

Did a number on the crops...

I like how the foundations are not damaged. You can erect a new turbine in the same spot.

I almost thought it wouldn't fall

Its like trees. It looks like there is a lot more of them when they are laying on the ground.

Why’d they fell it instead of replacing the nacelle?

@SLO-Ride

3 жыл бұрын

Blades were damaged, top of the tower was compromised, likely burning oil and debris fell inside the tower damaging load wires and cables. Replacing the entire structure, would be cheaper than the added man-hours to repair.

It's a good thing there are coal-fired power plants.

It fell like a Power Rangers enemy.

There’s going to be a lot more of those hitting the ground in the future. Especially old technology from 20 years ago. CDI the best in the business.

Yes, 20 years life time. The first generation machines are all coming out of service hours and due to technology changes are scrap. I hope the cost of removal and dumping gets factored into the 'green' equation.

I love the hang time until you can see the motion accelerating. Seems like a number of wind turbines fail prematurely for different reasons. Thanks to Loizeaux for sharing these clips !

Thermally damaged, vertically compromized.

Nice.

Really needed something in the end scenes to establish an approximate size reference. Cannot tell of the tower was 4 or 20 feet in diameter at the base

I hope the power company compensated that farmer very well.

CDI is the best at what they do😁😁😁😁😁😌😌😌😎😎

Was the back side of that cut out before demolition? If so, what lucky guy got to do that?

Could have made a nice condo up on top.
