We haven't cured cancer, eradicated the flu, mastered solar panel efficiency, battery efficiency etc either.....but we've been to the moon...lol
Just because meatheads like you don't know anything about gears....don't ASSume the rest of us don't either.
Cost and waste are an issue.
Well it sure as shit looks like you don't know much. Tell tell sign is asking "why can't they/it" over and over. If you knew, you would know.
Interesting, if they can make it safe and economical then nuclear is by far the best option as far as efficiency. The negative stigma will still carry some fear but that's where the government tax incentive to the community can help.Not with 4th gen reactors

Oh I'll use the same excuse as your buddies....."different application!!!"
Secondly, had you chose to read up, it's the bearings that are shitting the bed, and killing the gears. As if this never happens in "other applications"....yawn...
Tell us what YOU know about....what are you a subject matter expert on...except shit talking and having fun doing it?

And has some fucking amazingly large gearboxes to couple turbines to prop shaft . . . . Seems like slamming into reverse, etc. would be a pretty biig shock load, but they don't seem to be failing . . . .Not powered by wind, solar, coal, gas, liquid petroleum...

I vote flawed engineering, cheapness, and too much Chinesium in the alloy!

Perhaps if you slowly spin down, stop, and slowly spin up . . . . A situation I cannot fathom being maintained in combat conditions, but then again, I am not Navy either . . . . Avoidance maneuvers that may require one side balls out forward, and the other size balls out reverse plus a rudder hard over to avoid an incoming, well, either they don't do that, or I can't fathom no major stresses, but that the design supports it (unlike the Chinese junk in windmills . . . )There is no "shock load" when reversing a Nimitz-class carrier main engine. Or any other geared marine steam turbine engine, for that matter.

My main point is that a solution with longevity should be realizeable in wind *IF* CBS (cheap bastard syndrome) and piss-poor offshore quality and QA are not allowed to dominate the process.
Well dude is saying iraq, but video says Afghanistan. Which is it?

I still don’t get the Musk business model. If we remove direct government subsidies and revenues from the sales of government credits, has Musk or his companies ever earned a legitimate dollar since the inception of the Musk empire?Just because meatheads like you don't know anything about gears....don't ASSume the rest of us don't either.
Meatheads told Elon Musk he was crazy, now guys like him who broke the mold in a ton of places are gonna rule the roost pretty soon.
We're all going to forget about arguing on forums when his predictions about AI come true.
I’ve seen this before. 1st I’m thinking about a 6liter in-line 6. Gas. Twin turbo around 700hp/700torque In front of a 6l80 tranny, in front of an atlas 4speed. Then What they’re going to need to do is get the japs to make a their version of a Ford Dana 60 with these improvements: closed knuckle, cv’s 40 spline, reverse cut 10” drop out third. In the back how about a 14 bolt with a drop out third and disks. Oh yeah portal boxes all the way around.We will get past that one day!
Wind turbines are giant fucking Ponzi scheme.
Subsidized to the hilt by every government (tax payer/ ordinary people) of every country they're thrown in.
They build them as cheap as fuck so there's plenty of work for the management & maintenance companies which, in turn, cook the books to make them seem profitable then, when they've made their initial construction costs back & borrowed on that project to fund the next wind farm, solar farm, whatever, they then flog it off to superannuation funds for double or treble what the project can make over the design lifespan &, the average guy on the street gets to pay for the whole ripoff shebang twice.
Management cheaping out, or the designers clearly botching the design . . . seems pretty unlikely it would be a material problem there.Soooo what about the gears made by Siemens (German) that are failing in windmills?
