Morning all. Finally got some rain last night. For 10 a whole ten min. Just enough for me to have to wash the truck again.

 

[dbgun]

Sitting in Kingsville and it's pleasant weather. Probably around 70° with a nice breeze plus low humidity.

Delivering livestock feed a couple miles south of town in the Ricardo neighborhood.

Morning earthlings. Nicholas was pretty much a non-event for us. I'll take it!

That happens when the "emergency stop" is activated. Hub locks, blades don't want to stop, torque topples the tower.

I am honestly curious. What type of situation would occur where an emergency stop resulting in this is better than the alternative?

That’s a good question. Because I’m 99% sure there was no weather. Like it was a malfunction. I thought the protocol in weather was to rotate the blades so they no longer catch the wind.

That’s it! I’m pissed! The one day I didn’t bring cash the ice cream man stops by our work!

28 to go.

Trash day, water day, no rain for us.

Blade feathering malfunction. Rapid overspeed, imminent catastrophic failure. This can control fall and debris field direction.
These things throw shit for miles when they self destruct.
Or, super slow rotation with workers in the nacell. If a guy gets caught in a shaft or gear, there's a button up there too. This scenario is not destructive to equipment, normally.
