R&D Test Systems: Wind Turbine Blade Testing

See the new Dual Axis Exciter in action, performing in Flap mode, Edge mode, and Chaotic mode for fatigue blade testing.

Maaaaan, imagine this as an elastic ride! Someone should build a device similar to the blade, but make it specifically for a ride, and strap a seat to the tip! I could see something like this at fun fairs, carnivals, and theme parks.

Impressive to see the blade testing. It makes the whole exercise look so smooth somehow (though of course the purpose is to show robustness).
Will it be at Husum Wind?
What is the kW of the motors?

Yes, a model of the test system is currently found at our stand at Husum Wind.
Blaest’s exciter applies up to 165-190 kN to the blade
in the flap direction and 95 kN in the edge direction while supplying around 275 kW of excitation power to the
blade.

anyone else think this reminds of a pp?
