Fiberglass Wind Turbine Blade Vs Wood Blade

Check out my latest project: https://youtu.be/yXQnydST9fw

Fiberglass Wind Turbine Blade Vs Wood Blade: In this video I put the blades through a simple static load test using weights, to help demonstrate the superior strength of fiberglass wind turbine blades over wood blades. If you haven't seen them yet, you can check out the videos showing how these blades were made at the links below.

DISCLAIMER: this demo does NOT mimic the 'live' forces acting on a wind turbine blade during operation. That's what wind tunnels are for.
