Noobel

Fan motor brake FAIL!

Destroyed in Seconds WIN!

Kit

Also, blade release fail. Most models will ‘drop’ the blades in hurricane/tornado weather so as not to do THAT.

 
 
brewski

Take that, you tree hugging, anti-fossil-fuel, non-nuclear, renewable source bastard!

talonsofpeace

Yeah! Nothing screams lame quite as loud as renewable energy resources! Lame!

Eplekongen

it’s not so bad, the last 5 seconds before it shredded itself is must have produced enough electricity to more than make up for the rebuilding costs

 
MythReindeer

…except for most of the comments on this blog

 
 
Loz

Quantitative Feedback Theory?
(had to google, lol)

Linelor

Qeynos-Freeport Travel?
<–Dork Fail

 
 
corey

in response to you being a gamer, do you play WoW

Dragonwriter

No, I never have. I prefer single player RPGs.

Mike

Zelda pwns. So does Metroid. And Smash Bros.

And Halo is pretty good, too.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Alex-X-x

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! i’m to late again! but still i try my best - FYRST!!!!!!!!!

Alex-X-x

hm maybe i still have a chance, i was 9th before now 6th

talonsofpeace

You tried to get first but a lazy Talonsofpeace imposter got first instead. Dubious fact, this.

Guy Over Yonder

Yeah, it’s not like we can’t tell the real talon from the fake one. ;)

Mike

Especially since the fake talks like an idiot and has a randomly
generated pattern pic.

 
 
 
Pootick

The only chance you have is failing at life. FAIL AT LIFE WIN for you.

Not only can you not be first, you cant spell first, and even worse, you live only to try and post “FIRST”. What a sad sad person. LIFE FAIL.

Blues

Wow, the fact that you and the guy below me take time off your hands just to criticize a guy for his misspellings, when he neither wanted or deserved your criticism, is just downright deplorable. Just thinking that you two just float around on the Internet looking for people to flame on till you get wankers cramp says more about your own idiocy and quite possibly, your insecurities, than it does about this person’s misspellings, so quite frankly, I believe that you both FAIL harder than he ever could. Good day.

Dragonwriter

*golf clap*

(I’m also still snorking @ “wankers cramp”.)

fluffy

uh uh Dragon, you are “the guy below me” that Blues was talking about…

*golf clap* nonetheless

Dragonwriter

Was not. He was referring to porksword. I didn’t criticize Alex or his spelling anywhere on this thread.

 
 
 
 
 
 
porksword

You missed a first posting but perhaps you can be the first to arrive at a remedial grammar class at your local hillbilly community college. Perhaps then you will understand the proper distinctions between ‘to’ ‘too’ and ‘two’, you fuck.

Pumpkiny

Uh-oez.
Iz da gramma poleez.

 
fuzz on the concept

oh fug, porksword iz da wordpigs!
(an’ hiz red penis mightier)

dilettante

I’ll take “Famous Titties” for $400…

 
 
 
 
Jackie Pancake

You’re missing a comma.

 
ContextFAIL

Hmmmm……perhaps if you look again, you will notice he is referring to multiple people, therefore; justifying the choice of grammar.

 
 
 
 
 
mr. mime

the most bestest best thing in the world!!1

 
 
 
alternative

Alternative energy FAIL.

Shana

Well, you have to admit, it still was pretty cool to watch. At least no one was hurt, and because that happened, the flaw was probably fixed!

Mike

It was freakin’ awesome to watch. The first time, I said, “Wait… what
happened?”

And then it did slo-mo and I figured it out.

It asploded.

Awesome :)

 
 
 
you guys suck

… why is it a fail? Most buildings cant stand up to hurricaine winds… it just happens to be one that spins and that makes it a fail? Do you guys know how massive it would have to be to withstand all possible forces of nature… massive enough that normal winds wouldnt turn it. Whats with all the fucking terrible fails recently.

Eplekongen

When you get winds like this you are supposed to shut the it down. The owner failed at shutting it down.

Fahzbehn

I think the only thing that would’ve been more interesting to see done to this wind turbine is having a tornado hit it.

 
Fat Zero

Well, they were filming it, so it was probably a high wind speed test of some sort

HerHeartIsAMachine

I could swear this was on Discovery channel the other night. The other ones were working fine, but this one suffered some kind of malfunction on a particularly windy day.

 
 
JayAreZee

Exactly….these things have a “cut out speed” where the engine break is supposed to turn on and the blades are rotated so they’re perpendicular to the wind so there’s less torque on the turbine.

 
 
 
 
 
wimple

Huh? What happened there?

 
Baction

The slow-mo looked like the spar of one of the blades failed. Hard. The whole blade could just have shredded, though. They’re just fiberglass; not really made for tornadoes/hurricanes. It’s the mast and generator that are going to be expensive to replace.

 
Adoni

It was going too fast and it got itself all ripped to shit. those things work best at right around 13mph. it was under too much stress.

Randolpho

It looked like a tree-branch hit it, actually.

Adoni

upon reviewing, i would agree. but to save face ( attempt anyway ) the branch wouldnt be in the way without the high wind haha.

 
Goody

Uh… no. Ever seen one installed anywhere near a tree? There’s a reason for that. They need ‘clean’ wind so they are installed far from other structures which may disrupt the wind flow. Also, the difference in time between when you see it fail and when you hear it fail indicates that it is some distance from the camera. The tree is much closer to the camera - unless that was a tiny wind turbine.

Morphheus

He meant a branch that was caught by the wind and hit it

 
fluffy

Being that there is a tree in the foreground of the video, I would argue that it was installed near a tree…
