Seeking Active Partners / Wind Turbine Developers for Projects in the Mountains of Virginia.
I would like to site select with county and landowners signing them into our JVA’s.
I have a Municipality in mind that is desperate for new jobs, and income base.
Send me and add so That I can place you in my Investment Group.Thanx
Also interested in Investing in Turn-Key Mulitfam
How do you access it for service. Lighthouse keepers used to be marooned for months in the 20th century. Also the gyroscopic effect will fatigue the roots of the blades.
nah it`s quite possible but
question is
is it fasible
u need to tie it to sea bed -very costly
u need to balance its c.g. – adds to expenditure
it`s not stable.
other alternatives are quite better
@bergenstation my point exactly! how does it keep its balance?!?!!?
you need stabilizers on at least 2 axis. this turbine has only one. in this man made video it looks awesome, but in the ocean, with rouge waves a drastic tides, not to mention the idea that a terrorist whale crashes into the anchor cables…
it is amazing, but the REAL ones that i have seen are way different than this one. hope they can build it.
@enicao because the turbines have to swing at anchor in very deep water the anchor lines would have to be very long meaning a big swing radius. It would be hazardous for navigating. having two pontoons might make for stability but may be tha would be harder to launce from the barge. I’m impressed with the tilting down wind design but what about electic cable snagging, what about navigation headaches.
I’m not a fan of windmills, however I’m impressed with the cleverness of this design. Leaning the tower away from the blades solves the infrasound problem. It seems to use a minimum of materials and should be reletively easy to assemble and install–HOWEVER, my gut tells me there isn’t enough ballast and flotation to deal with side winds that might push the structure sideways until the blades touch water, which would instantly destroy them. So what about that Mr Smart Engineer at Iviterna?
The first step in getting a wind power job is to get trained by going through a wind tech training program. After receiving a certificate of completion from a wind tech training program, you can get hired by a staffing company that provides operations and maintenance services to wind parks.

The moment that the rotor-nacelle assembly puts on the base would seem to be way too big to hold it up. The foundation would have to be gigantic

That’s definitely more practical than offshore solar panels.

@yvelf I agree.

it will not work.

@charliep3
like boats on a mooring, the turbine rotate around the chain and always face the wind.
my problem is how it handle the big waves, and tides. I would have put 2 flotting things in a V to make it more stable

I think the engineers at nautica know better than your gut feeling, no offense but im sure that is a main design consideration

I love this idea. Simpler, cheaper, easier to maintain, less to go wrong. It’s the Ford Model T of ocean turbines.
