Windmills Gone Wrong?

I got an email recently (from my Mom) with the following pictures of windmills.......but they weren't the happy 'clean power-producing' images that we usually see......they are disturbing, amazing and bizarre all at the same time.

 Here are some photos of what happens when transmission failures occur in windmills.

 To date no gear oil has been invented to withstand the pressures produced within these transmissions.

 Most recently, the government gave Dow-Corning a big grant to work on it.

 

 Previously, many others had tried and failed. As they age there will be many bearing failures.

 

 Just insane - and scary!

 

 

 Wow - I hope no one was in this truck when this happened!!
