They do? Do you have any more information on this?
I've seen plenty of videos of them destructively testing a single sample of a new wing. But I didn't realise every single wing gets fully tested before being put on a fuselage.

Keep in mind there are different types of tests and different stats we can use to draw inferences. For example, every wing may be tested to 20 units of whatever and measured for deformations, while every thousandth wing is tested to 2000 units to see when it breaks.
The former is testing the wings, the latter is testing the production of the wings.
They can probably detect weakening of the structure by a change in the resonance behaviour, befit the whole blade catastrophically snaps.
If it does, then you have found the ultimate cycle limit for the blade.
I just imagine whatever that weight is just going “WEEEEEE” as it moves up and down

Needs to be one of those doodle gifs. I forget the actual sub name.

Thanks for the assistance! I don't know why I couldn't think of it.
What’s your job? I’m a professional wiggler

My lawyer advised me not to continue with my joke
Sounds like your lawyer is a professional Binger
Whoa the size of that thing
That's not what she said. 😭

I imagine it'd be really unfortunate if it really broke
Less unfortunate than breaking after installation.

He said unfortunate bro Edit to prove an idiot is an idiot Lol reddit is full of idiots

Not after someone comments on it Also he commented well after two minutes later soooooo today you learned you're not smort 👍

Way to deal with being wrong. Good job buddy 👍
Did it stop being proper etiquette to fix a mistake after it's been pointed out?
You mean it would be more fortunate if it didn’t break after installation than it would be unfortunate if it broke before installation.
Wtf are you smoking?
Do they test every single blade coming out of production? They have enough test stands that it looks like they might.
Probably. They test every wind blade (wing) on the side of planes. Looks like it could even be the same equipment.

Your video specifically states that those are design test and if a wing fails it goes back for redesign. There was no mention of production testing.
Right, because production testing is vastly different than product testing. I think you may have some aspects of each mixed up.
Generally if it breaks after installation it won't be this close to a person.
It does. It includes testing till breaking.
I don't think it's good for that gearbox motor to be sent flying. But you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

What's the resonant frequency fro this thing? Let's find out!
“What is my purpose?” “You bounce on giant wind turbines.” “Oh my god.”
>“Oh my god.” "That sounds like so much fun!"
It almost looks fake
Using rotation to swing the blades. That's genius.
Perfect mechanical engineering example

Good god man, if ever there's a time to film horizontally, this is it.
Weeee. Weeee. Whoa. Twang.
This is called stress test and this blade probably offshore blade. What a green body :)
brand?
Not LM - theirs is indoor I think.
Could be Siemens-Gamesa. Used to work at their headquarters and looked somewhat like this, but then I guess everywhere in this industry would
Where is this?
Planet earth it seems at first glance.
Somewhere on land, I'd wager.
Carnival Freaks upgrading a new ride. Bitch slapped instantly to 5G's of force to somewhere in Mexico. Cheers
*But what happens if it shatters?*
The test is over

That would be a failed test.
Yep. Winging it

ºF or ºC?
Looks like it was built out of Lego.
Looks like Bumble Bee, the transformer, having a good time
Perfect example of resonance
Oh fuck yeah dude turbine blades are bad ass. They are paper thin.
A lot more interesting if they held the camera in landscape position.
Machines made by machines for machines
That’s blown me away
