Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself. !!!

I'm wanting to put a turbine up in the future, I've sen a new design that looks like the engine from a passenger aircraft, it's all contained within a nacel making it quieter and safer, plus it's more efficient.  Not comercially available yet though.

what do you reckon???   http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=u14tBwO5QVQ

Bit of a coincidence someone was filming it?

Given all the vehicles on site I reckon that might have been a destructive test.

Yep, most of thing have control to keep them at a constant speed whatever the wind and lets face what is the likelyhood of anyone being hit, it didn't even hit the van parked just below it

If you actually check what it says it's this  www.windaction.org - Windmill collapse during a storm in Denmark. The braking system failed while two technicians worked in the turret at the top. The technicians were able to get out before the collapse. A 19 meter piece of the blade was thrown 20 metres away; Smaller pieces were sent more than 500 meters away. :shock: :shock: :shock: That explains the vans and the videoing...
