That's one helluva bird.Originally posted by wobbegong View PostBirdstrike.
Heard someone on R4 this morning speculating it was falling ice from a passenger jet, which struck the blade and subsequently melted, leaving no trace. Apparently this happens a lot in cold weather. Be careful out there.

Something obviously hit the fan.
My guess is a Giant Flying Turd.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I've just had a quick butchers at a turbine safety and amongst what's discussed are vibration sensors.
It's just a ball sitting in a socket. Got to love that simplicityOne of the classical, and most simple safety devices in a wind turbine is the vibration sensor in the image above, which was first installed in the Gedser wind turbine. It simply consists of a ball resting on a ring. The ball is connected to a switch through a chain. If the turbine starts shaking, the ball will fall off the ring and switch the turbine off.
