[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3291075, member: 29706"] Yikes. I don't think I would want to be in the same county as one of those things acting up. Too much weight spinning around to get loose like that. It is amazing how much mass is spinning around just to keep the lights on. Makes me wonder something else though, do the wind turbines create ac that is fed to the grid directly or is there some sort of inverter in use. Since wind speed is variable and they are direct drive it's not likely they would spin at just the right speed all the time. Also when one of the generators has an issue that causes them to slow down and drop out of phase can the same thing happen where it motor's? [/QUOTE]
