Largest Wind Turbine Gearbox & Main Shaft Manufacturing Process. Biggest Heavy Duty Forging Machines

Excellent video. And thank you for providing the actual machining sound instead of annoying background music.

did you mean "thank you for providing two different sound clips and looping them forever"

It's very cool to see how a helical cutter is used to carve the gear teeth on the blank.😊

Direct drive (no gearbox) is the only way to go. Less mechanical parts = more reliability = more time online and less maintenance costs.

[@hamstirrer6882]

Good luck trying to make any power from a generator doing 30 rpm...

[@KingdaToro]

@@hamstirrer6882 That's actually really easy, it just needs 240 poles for 60 Hz or 200 for 50 Hz.

[@FrozenHaxor]

@@hamstirrer6882 They already manufacture them, they're the most reliable turbines in the world because you don't have the gearbox that needs replacing every 3-6 years after it wears out...

[@azman4749]

​@@KingdaTorohow big the generator that will be? Is it safe and economical to mounted on tower?

[@KingdaToro]

@@azman4749 Yes. For that sort of generator, it will be a large ring directly behind the rotor's hub, connected directly to it.. The nacelle will be a lot wider than usual, and conical. Enercon turbines usually have this sort of nacelle.

[@titter3648]

So you got 2 different sound clips and are just looping them over and over again...

[@abnnuzzinicholasclay686]

[@a-fl-man640]

forging process seems like a good candidate for automation unless it lacks the volume, the parts change dimension frequently, or whatever.

@@sjb3460 Yep the same is true about metals that produce a black oxide. In fact I've built things myself out of wood

[@petergibson2318]

Why do they have the generator right at the top? It should be easy to bring a rotating shaft down to the bottom and generate the electricity there. Easier to build and maintain. And could probably build several for the price of 1 now.

[@marcseclecticstuff9497]

Funny how they talk about how great whatever insert they were using is, but in the first shots of it @ 5:12, the outside corner of the insert is wiped out.

[@davidg3944]

Well, yeah - unless you're using PCD on virgin Teflon, inserts wear and need to be replaced as needed.

Forging is done not so much to shape the part as to strengthen it by arranging the internal grain structure of the steel.

[@scottprather5645]

The text bars that pop up that give explanations don't give enough time to read them

[@dubsydubs5234]

What part of making thousands of these things is green and net neutral, how much energy is required from mining to installation to end of life. Has anyone worked it out or is it one of those things we pretend isn't happening like everything else plant food reduction related.

[@sferg9582]

Nice, but please stop dubbing in fake sound bites from something that's totally unrelated. Keep it real. Gear hobbers don't sound anything like that first video segment showing the turning operation.

Yes! How can the initial cost, installation, and maintenance ever begin to provide a ROI. Just imagine the maintenance costs for those towers situated in the salt air.

[@johndoe1909]

current wind turbones does it within aproximately 2 years of operation. they are hugely effocient. those figures by the way was for the old ones (about 10 years) with a size of a bout 1.5 megawatt. the newer one at 9 on shore, and 16 off shore does it way, way faste than that.

@@jimwoods9551 i guess there is a location component as well. different locales have different payback times.

So how long does it take to make up for the carbon footprint to build, ship and erect these damn ugly noisy things. I know. I live 2 10ths of a mile from them. Clang, bang, swooshing noise, can sound like a jet, also shadow flicker and stop rotate and stop again to rotate; poor efficiency; as well as trucks upon trucks to erect crane to repair turbine. Boy oh boy. Such bullshit.

[@richystar2001]

The energy spent on the forging of the gears... is the lynch pin in the entire process. Highly inefficient. Wind turbines should not exist. We need wind power without complicated moving assemblys. Turbines will be as obsolete as steam engines are today in a couple of generations.

Look at all the energy consumed and generated to make just one of these things that will last about five years if they are lucky. But for sure, it will not recover the power it took to ,ake it. Just a waste.
