“The load is hanging in the air. The wind is picking up. SNAP! A line breaks!”

— Riley, on erecting a 336-foot wind turbine in Portsmouth, R.I.

Riley travels to Portsmouth, R.I., where residents are setting up a 115-ton wind turbine that will provide years of clean, green energy. The good news is that the winds here are constantly blowing. The bad news is that Riley is about to find out what it takes to raise giant blades in the midst of these unpredictable gusts. Riley joins a team of engineers, ironworkers, crane operators and riggers who must attach the 68-ton gearbox at the center of the blades to the very top of a 300-foot tower, all the while fightin
g forces strong enough to snap protective lines.

Video “Big Fix” – This town wants to generate its own energy but first it has to figure out how to assemble this turbine.




Video “Big Fix” – The wind is blowing. A cable snaps. Sixty-two metric tons of turbine swing freely. Yeah, it’s tough.

Great stuff as always.
