that's true if you hang a gallon water jug at the end of one rotor.   However, my thought is that if the blades are spinning, the buildup would be pretty equal on each blade surface.   But I believe they shut down the windmills when potential icing conditions exist.   but like I said, who

Re: [MBZ] OT: Life cycle costs for manufacturing waste, recycling for wind turbines

Leading edges delaminate and increase drag until a fresh set of blades are installed. In the event of high enough relative humidity in big cold, the wind farms tend to idle the blades. That way nothing gets hurt. Nor are electrons made. A viable solution with that giant push away from

Re: [MBZ] OT: Life cycle costs for manufacturing waste, recycling for wind turbines

With a multi blade installation the ice weight balance point is very likely different for each blade... equating to out of balance load against the rotational center of mass. Should be fun to watch... from a distance... through heavy lens. Thanks Craig... I knew we had a learned expert math
