- The Highest E70 Wind turbine in Ireland by Enercon and O'Neills. Over a three day period the various sections of this turbine were tranported to the Caherdowney wind farm this wind turbine is 2500m above sea level and is the hightest E70 turbine in the country.

Love the music!!!!!
Thanks for the comment Kieran Glover yes the tow was only precautionary the Turbine is 2000feet above sea level there is a shot from the back of the lorry climbing the last bit of the hill you can really see the steepness of the climb from this shot ..... Thank again
Amazing video. Really enjoyed that. Hats off to them drivers. Furthest I've taken my artic iff road is on building sites delivering pre cast concrete :-)
I wonder will we see them all around Killarney national park,can't imagine people coming from abroad to see that,Cork Kerry mountains are now Sitka spruce and wind farms!
Cheers Andrew Great video in a great country, Reminds me of home just over the sea in Scotland now living in Thailand for 16 years,Wish I was 25 again would love to have been driving these rigs,Spent most of my working life Lorry driving ,Look foreward to more of your videos Thanks...
Great video, thanks
2500m above sea level!!!The highest point in Ireland is 1041m above sea level so are the turbines floating above this mountain?
Esto es realmente hermoso!!
Saludos desde México!!
Great video. I'm in school right now to be a wind turbine tec. but we are only working on small 50mW lattice towers right now. It's great to see how the large ones are built.
They won’t show how much bog they removed to create a foundation, or the distruction the project caused to Annix 1 and 2 wildlife habitats.
Man his works are seen in the vast wide landscape! His hands place another wheel of fortune in the sand!
great video !
Great video.
2500m, must be one of the lesser known snow-capped peaks in the Irish Alps
Awesome.
Excellent vid , the last section must be fairly steep given the need for the wrecker every time
Apparently O'Neills don't spend their money on the fleet .........
Hi great video where is the place the tubine is ?
Cant beat a lovely coal fired power station,the polar bears will just have to swim
is that u andrew on clip 14:51 lol great video we enjoyed
Because I looked on the website (before 2013) typed in a number for a fan code saw
When the wind blows harder, the blades spin quicker. That is harmony with nature, depending on nature.
Video description states the windfarm is 2500m above sea level. The highest point in Ireland is about 1030m above sea level, so this must be incorrect. Thanks for the video.
Indeed: The highest point is Carrauntoohil (1,038 m or 3,406 ft), located in the Macgillycuddy's Reeks mountain range in the southwest.
MY GUESS: it's 2,500 feet and not metres.
i love the background music,,,,,,where do i find it
Ramzi Jabir
The manual and it said NEVER reverse while off
Scania and Volvo, best trucks in the world.
Nice to see an Irish you tuber as well as jacksepticeye
So I just watched half an hour of a wind turbine being put up
2500m above sea level?
The highest point in Ireland is only just over 1000m.
+LiamE69 correct
Most likely meant 250
@@1989ChriscMaybe they meant 2,500 ft above sea level, instead of 2,500 meters
im surprised at the mighty 143 needing a tow up those hills , might just be as a safety precaution , sure the old girl is probably pushing the foden up the hill too .
Now 638k
BGM?
i think Ireland is beautiful; by all means.

At 7:57 guy wiping off side wall close to the bottom of the horizontal tube, at 8:17 note the 2 workers standing on the inside platform. 8:27 workers inside the cylinder hanging above, how did they get there if not to walk under a suspended load. 8:41 cylinder lifted over 2 workers standing on the inside platform. OSHA clearly states, at no point are workers to expose any body parts, hands, head, arms, legs under a suspended load. If this video was shot in the US and OSHA happened to view it, this erection company would be sighted for suspended load violation.
It's grand sure they're wearing hard hats. :)
I was going to start to make this comments...but they I realize how obvious was...and for sure someone had already done it !!
You are the quark arse!! How do you expect them to take of the slings with out goin under the section and how on earth are they to bolt the sections together without being under the load, wise up! They do the same in the US so I don't see what your on about...
You should go to Inplix if you'd like to make it by yourselfs guys.

How many watts can this wind turbine generate ?
2000 kilowatts.
or 2300kw
Green Energy,
hi I just want to know how many average house or family one large windturbine can power thank you
can you let me know please
If one typical large wind turbine could generate 4MW at peak, it capable to power about 1000-2000 houses
pabem hey thank you for that .
i like the music on your video i can listen to it for ever
pabem The whole content of that sentence is in the If. Wind energy is non-dispatchable, and the solutions to the inherent problems are not green or renewable. We can argue forever, but the truth is that wind turbines are a huge scam that devours enormous acres for a lie that people have bought into, that carbon dioxide is evil.
Do you know how many acres it takes for a gas turbine to replace an entire 25,000 acre industrial wind plant? Five - and the losses of starting up and shutting down to attempt to bring in the wind are purely wasteful. But gas isn't the answer, either, it becomes unnecessary if these turbines are gone. What a waste to pollute the countryside with these.
Please do ask for the infrasound (~1-20 Hz) and low frequency (~10-200 Hz) tests that should properly accompany these dinosaurs. Don't accept dB(A), it drops off and loses these frequencies. Ask an independent and excellent acoustic specialist ... read the Cape Bridgewater Report out of Australia.

People who have bought into wind can argue forever, but the truth is that wind turbines are a huge scam that devours enormous acres for a lie that some people have accepted anyway, that carbon dioxide is evil.

"a lie that some people have accepted anyway, that carbon dioxide is evil"
Well, if you are going deny the science, and claim that global warming is not a major problem, then you are clearly a fool, and not worth listening to.
As cool as this video is, here in the US we have laws protecting employees from working under suspended loads. These guys are insane!
All civilized societies do, including Ireland. I didn't see anyone working under the load.
VaporheadATC You have to press play.
These are (literally) the biggest threat to rural scenery in modern times, but that's trivial to the average moron who's drunk the kool-aid of urban progress, i.e. Man constantly destroying nature is how it's "supposed to be" for some mindless reason. I suggest the documentary Wind Rush (free on YT) for people who are tired of all this wind turbine hype and actually respect nature. Paul Kingsnorth (UK) wrote an excellent piece about being a recovering environmentalist and future damage to nature from all these machines, while climate change roars on. Wind turbines are visually much more intrusive than standard power plants (taller and much more numerous) but the die-hard Greens can't admit it.
OK, so if you don't want any wind power, what's your plan for decarbonisation? We have less than 20 years to decarbonise the rich world almost completely. It's extremely difficult to do fast enough whatever tech you use. Are you claiming that it's possible without using any windpower?
I think we need a lot more contraception, and we're going to have to ride out climate change. It's not worth making industrial wastelands out of what relatively little scenery remains. You people refuse to see that wind power really isn't effective, anyhow. It is very inefficient and needs tons of fossil fuels for its life-cycle. "Fossil fuel extenders" is a common term for pseudo-renewable energy.
Utterly destroying the landscape, grossly inefficient
how is it inefficient it recaptures energy spend in about 3 months.
@@montiro8999 There is zero proof anywhere that these types of numbers (3 months) are even vaguely accurate. They are put out by the environmental movement and the windmill makers.
@@stevenikitas8170 www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/06/140616093317.htm
Here is a study from 2014. Today the newest generations have about 5-6 megawatts and can produce around 21 gigawatts of energy in average wind of 7.5 meters.
@@montiro8999 Don't believe a word you read about windmills. It is all put out by the 'greenie' media. I have analyzed them for years. They produce very little energy at extreme inefficiency. Near where I live, they said that a windmill was going to produce enough power for 2,000 homes. I analyzed the actual output data and found that it was enough power for a maximum 400 homes.
@@stevenikitas8170 How much MW has it and how much was the output in the last year?
You don.t use the term "incorrect" to describe inaccurate statements by the wind farm industry. The word is "LIE"
I'll bet this will make for a spectacular failure during a typhoon.
Its ireland🤨
I love the way green crazy people marketing these environmental dirty concrete,steel and neodymium bastards as good for the environment.
10gCO2e/kWh is pretty good. Better than any other mature generation tech, even nuclear. Kites may beat this in due course.
if companies grow on it, it makes money
on a sidenote, you think that is concrete? you think they use neodymium to spin the electromechanic generators? i think you're the crazy green one
Pinkie Pie When subsidised DC generators with permanent magnets get their money for the green scheme.
Just not liberal or market conform but it sort of works for green hooligans and you idiots.
You think coal-fired, natural gas or nuclear is a green way to produce energy? Enercon turbines don't use magnets in their direct drive generators, get a clue.
D. Russell Even witout those magnets wind turbines are loads of steel and concrete doing nothing and in need of conventional power plants for when the wind is not blowing.They just fail.
All this does is increase visual blight. These companies brag about the size of their intrusions and clearly don't care about landscape aesthetics. It's no more green than any extractive industry.
+Geo T Each of these turbines produces over: 5 million kWh's of clean energy, every year, for some 40+ years, without burning a single molecule of coal or gas and you don't think that's green? Try living downwind, very close to a coal-fired power plant and tell me how you like that and how green that is.
+D. Russell Same old canned response I always get in the wind debate. We already know coal causes problems! Are you so dim that you think Man can only be causing one mess at a time? Wind turbines are causing NEW problems that affect people and animals in a much wider area now. Not many people really deal with coal mines compared to how wind "farms" are sprouting up. Times are changing. Drop the phony platitudes and face reality. Look at how big those damned things are!
Geo T Name one valid report that claims people and animals are being adversely affected by wind turbines and don't bother with the birdies killed by wind turbines argument as house cats, cars and buildings cause thousands of times more deaths to birds than wind turbines and most wind turbine-bird deaths are guestimates, not fact as nobody has counted the actual bird deaths, they only assume. I have a wind turbine in my own backyard, powering my own house and have sold some: 2,000 wind turbines, over the past 10 years and have never seen anything adverse about wind turbines. If people don't like looking at them, they can wrap their stupid lips around a car tailpipe some time and breath in deep. We'll see how long you and they will last.
I have nothing phony as I still work in the wind turbine industry and know pretty much everything about it so, start educating yourself and shut your pie hole until you know what you're talking about.
D. Russell Well said! I have built power plants all over the Western half of the United States. Every type of power generation causes some types of negative impact. We know about the coal, oil, natural gas and biomass issues with greenhouse gases or radioactive waste. Hydroelectric has its own set of issues with fish migration and habitat degradation. Solar has either problems with economy and land use. The wind industry has esthetics as the biggest argument that critics use against it. Well shit, I know which type of energy generation production modules I am going to support! If bird kills are a real problem, why isn't there a environmental lobby to tear down all human structures with glass windows? I'm sick of people who use all the benefits of civilized society and piss all over any attempt to improve or modernize. Go back to living in a mud hut!
One valid report? Valid by wind industry standards, you mean? Below are many articles and photos showing the damage. The new visual blight should go without saying but aesthetic values are trivial for many Greens now. Who could have imagined that "environmentalists" would be arguing FOR huge industrial projects and barely investigating their efficacy outside of industry-controlled reports? www.google.com/search?&q=wind+turbines+bats+birds+mortality (and) is.gd/windenergyscenery
My home is worth 50,000 euro since a wind farm went up 5 miles from me, it was worth 180,000 before the farm our lives are destroyed by 'big wind'
PlantsAsMedicine when people get used to it the price will go up
Andromeda Wins There are low frequency sounds that cant be gotten used to unfortunately and these sounds make you very sick 7 out of ten people are affected within the first year, there are about 9 symptoms, these wind farms are not about energy they are about land and lowering land prices! 'Big wind' are in the 'land business rather than the energy business the same way McDonalds are in the property business rather than the burger business, wind farms are not efficient the only reason they are being built is because there is 5 to t10 pound/euro/dollar on your and my electricity bill and the company gets millions for erecting them! bunch of criminals bro...
PlantsAsMedicine land ? so why most of them works in oceans and sees ?, u reading to much crazy theories, then on your land u go atom and coal on mine I will go wind
Andromeda Wins Most of them are on land, and the sound is not a crazy theory it's scientific fact! the effect they have on land prices is real weather or not it is deliberate is speculation on my part but making millions on land 20 years after forcing most of the residents out is an eyebrow raising side effect of erecting wind farms imo These people know exactly what they are doing.
