@@Energy "We're sorry. The page you are looking for has mooved." www.nrel.gov/about/nwtc.html I got a lot of those notices these days of investigating the wind speed distribution curve. Peace.
I was always curious what the inside of a turbine looks like. I am GLAD i get curious for things like this! I learned a few things hahah!! MJA💯🤙🏾🤙🏾 PLUS that view up there looks amazing!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for the tour! I worked on Siemens SWT-2.3-101. What is the model number for this turbine and how many MW? Any data on its yield and capacity factor so far?
Hey Jil Amine! Thanks for checking out our video! Some fun facts for you - Model GE 1.5-SLE,Tower height: 80 meter (m), Rotor diameter: 77 m, U.S.Department ofEnergy-owned; to be used for research and education Turbine, commissioned in September 2009.
I’m very afraid of heights, it makes me queazy just watching this , wind turbine maintenance workers should be making big bucks for such hazardous work
The cheapest and cleanest form of energy available. Now we need national fleets of electric cars, buses and trucks to store and use the energy. Maybe in 10 years the only oil we'll need will be for specialty plastics and vaseline.
just hopefully they figure out better batteries, less mining, and less waste, more energy for smaller size. We're currently just moving from mining oil to mining lithium, and lithium isn't unlimited either, nor is it anywhere close to be good for the environment.
@@gwot Reviving passenger rail and other investments in mass transit would provide even greater cost-effective benefits. Funny how everyone wants to talk about how to get more energy, yet no conversation about changing our energy-wasting behavior to better conserve the energy we already have. Human nature, I guess.
@@JesseMorgan24 I just saw a few videos about public transit systems in North America, and how it is so far behind. Car and oil companies bought up transit carts and paved over rails and tracks after ww2 to force people to buy cars and oil. Like you said, human nature, greed. China in 10 years built over 30 high-speed trains, USA is still trying to build their first.
@@gwot I've always heard it was auto makers like GM who took down mass transit in the U.S. when cars were gaining popularity but that's sort of a conspiracy theory
@@JesseMorgan24 I don't think it was a theory. They know who bought them out, and fact is, tracks were paved over for freeways. Now Chinese companies are taking over making ev buses and creating infrastructure and more transit routes in the US. Sad that China is actually making the US better, and US politicians don't care cuz it doesn't benefit them.
Hi opadennis! Thanks for watching our video. This was taken at the top of a turbine at the National Wind Technology Center in Golden, CO. You can learn more about the center here - www.nrel.gov/about/nwtc.html.
Great video, balls of steel to do that job.
That was fun. Simon's funny remarks really made this way way more entertaining.
Always wanted to see what it was like to spend a day climbing the towers! Love it Mr. Simon and Mr. Andy!! Stay safe!!!!
Hi Sitar Thao! Thanks for watching our video!
My respects to those people who service these machines, high end powerlines...THANKS!
This is exactly what I've been looking for, thanks
always wanted a tour, thanks.

Wow, be safe! I'm terrified of heights, struggle with stairs, even. Very brave!
Let him do a weekly VLOG please
Did not know you can go in the windmill!thanks for the tour and always be careful 😊

Great tour video. I’ve driven past fields of turbines in Indiana and always wondered what they looked like.
That's My Boy Simon. Great video!
Thank you Wind NREL for this excellent video!
Awesome landscape and view.
Just watched this awesome video with my mistress, cant wait to tell my wife about it! Safety first!
Safety is a priority, fantastic job
At least the climb up/down in in the central shaft, protected from wind.
Imagine having to climb up a cell phone tower or a transmission line tower.
Dude, your video is awesome! You’re hilarious and it was so cool! Nicely done
Great job! Can you just Base Jump to get down or is that frowned upon?
Round is a Shape 👌🏻

These guys are tough as heck.
Badass!
I hear some constant noise in the background. How do the wind technicians cope with the noise? Honest question..
you get use to it, your brain will tune it out, it'll become background white noise.
Question, why can't they put rails on top, just hooking up a harness if you fall you just dangle till someone comes to get you.
What does it take to get a job like this?
I’m I the oilfield how dangerous is it for me to clime one that’s not turning I find them unlocked all the time

Hi sir,
I wold like to work in your company.
Iam in Germany
Does it ever have tornado there?
❤
Why did you all allow scope to destroy the ice sheet with middlesboro police department?
Why the big oil company?
OIL?🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💸💵
Instructions from the Avasva site are perfect for beginners.
I could never do this with my fear of heights yes i would like to work on it but no

wait it took me to youtube while i was doing my homework oops im leaving now bye
Dismantle the destructive machines.

Great job. Much respect but wind turbines are truly disappointment. Just ask Texans

That’s all people know nowadays is safety safety safety they never talk about common sense
That's because with these things if you forget one thing one time and you slip... You die
Whenever some nimrod refers to a power generator as a Muslim hat, I discredit everything they say.
