Tristan Thinks Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Keep your head down if you don't want it chopping off! We now have a new type of environmental terrorism; suicidal wind turbines: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3FZtmlHwcA Link to comment
S.L. Lewis Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 *jaw drops to floor* Well, isn't that rather interesting? Link to comment
rknapp Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Yeah, that's why they're supposed to flatten the blades and lock the transmission when the weather gets particularly windy. Link to comment
clumber Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 This is why we need to harness the power of gossip. If someone can work out a way of transforming gossip into electrical power than a small turbine fitted to the hearing-aids of old women could power the US three times over!

Site Administrator Graeme Posted February 28, 2008 Site Administrator Share Posted February 28, 2008 Yeah, that's why they're supposed to flatten the blades and lock the transmission when the weather gets particularly windy. The notes on the first video indicated the the brakes failed. I suspect that's why it was being filmed -- they knew something was going to go wrong. Link to comment
