Further Adventures of Indigo Red

Hear me now oh thou bleak and unbearable world Thou art base and debauched as can be And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee! I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha Destroyer of Evil am I, I will march to the sound of the trumpets of glory Forever to conquer or die Hear me heathens and wizards and serpents of sin All your dastardly doings are past For a holy endeavor is now to begin And virtue shall triumph at last!

A wind turbine burns near Uelzen, a town in Lower Saxony, Germany. The fire that incurred damages of €750,000 is assumed to have been caused by a technical fault near the top of the turbine, according to police reports. -- Spiegel OnLine

Tom said...: My guess is a lubrication failure - just can't get along without that oil, can we?; 12/04/2009 09:56:00 AM
Indigo Red said...: Most likely, Tom. Lubricants are dirt and dust magnets. Without regular cleaning, I suspect the fan go-round parts get clogged. Oil and grease still are needed, no doubt about it.; 12/04/2009 10:10:00 AM
