As a pioneer of onshore wind energy utilization, especially in Germany, and as an independent manufacturer of wind turbines, Fuhrländer AG counts on strong turbine concepts. Fuhrländer industrially manufactures turbines of up to 2.5 MW. Already a long time ago, Fuhrländer established itself as an international partner, who realizes wind farms for any location…. www.fuhrlaender.de
Who am I ?
Hi, I’m Erik Astrand and the man behind this site.
My story? I am about to be 50 and all my life I have been interested in technical things. Not sure if the special interest for the wind, and how to use the wind, started when I as a 5 year old boy and got my first sail dinghy.
Anyway, wind power and to build my own wind generator was a dream for several years. I studied many websites and also bought many courses before I finally built my own windmill. This site is about that journey and you will also find some more general articles about wind power.
Enjoy! and check out the about me page to read more.
dont talk smak about Fuhrlander. I work for another company (and a lot of people left from Enercon, wonder why?), but talking shit about your competition is weak!
Why are drums and rock music needed to help us see and understand what is happening in the video. Kill the tunes, please.
I would like to have a wind turbine in my community, but I know that the Power/electric companies are NOT gonna let go of its trapped customers too easily. Iam sure they will probably own these turbines too, and continue selling us power for profit..Iam ready to get off the grid!
2:05 Is that Sir Richard Branson? LOL
Great !.
Where did Jesus suddenly appear from??
VERY outdated technology in this type of turbine.
Surveys have proved that no wind farm can produce 100% of its maximum power output – the realistic operation output is about 50%. Many wind farms fall well below that. The norm for onshore wind farms is 25% – 30%. That represents a very low output added to the high cost of wind generation
Making these damned things taller and bigger is the wrong approach. They are trashing the landscape and the sanity of folks whose space they invade.
@pegobuilders
That is true. Yet studies have also proven that wind turbines, despite there lack in energy produced based on their potential still pay off in the future, costing less then running a fossil fuel operation. Plus, who expects the wind always blow??
what mt is long this turbine ?
mad
@brt927 wind is air moving. air has mass. a lot of air has a lots of mass. The turbine slows the air down some. the kinetic energy of the air decreases, because some is transported into the blades of the turbine, which spin with this energy. The energy of the spinning blades is converted to electricity by a generator. It doesn’t affect the climate, but offsets the energy extracted from coal, which does affect the climate by releasing CO2 and other gases
@Hogums hahahaha over 10MW
@wigwamabama Ha! that’s funny! (@3:41)
sick video!
@RandomConcepts the “folks” can just deal with it and y the fuck would they build it near to them
@kosmarka Actually, according to the website the FL 2500 is a 2.5MW unit. That makes sense. 2500 = 2.5MW.
now thats high ! :O
Awesome, We need way more of these
Why is it so high ? does n’t look a very windy site
@brt927
Rofl you should learn about the subject you’re slating, Daniels answer is fairly accurate so you should give it a read or go back to school.
Nice to see Jesus making an appearence at 3.41 btw haha
Was that Forrest Gump or the Geico Caveman @ about 3:40 into the video?
This is deep sky drilling. It’s beautiful.
@brt927 Wind is not the actual byproduct of usable and sustainable energy. The wind blades simply turns a power generation turbine housed in the niselle and that sends energy to a generator. The generator sends the energy to a converter located at the base or in some cases at a sites substation. the converter converts the 50 cycle AC current to 60 cycle DC current and then back to AC “usable” current. The wind is simply used as a power source for the turbine to spin and generate energy
