The wind speed doubles. A normal blade would generate 8× more power. The generator would burn out in seconds. So what actually happens?

 

The wind speed doubles.

A normal blade would generate 8× more power.

The generator would burn out in seconds.

So what actually happens?

The blades pitch themselves:

• 0–12 m/s: blades at optimal angle → power increases

• At 12 m/s: RATED POWER reached → blades rotate

• 12–25 m/s: blades pitch continuously to limit power

• Each blade moves INDEPENDENTLY at 0.1°/second precision

• At 25 m/s: blades feather to 90° → turbine stops

The entire blade — 60+ metres long — rotating

on its own axis to spill the excess wind.

Zero mechanical brakes used in normal operation.

Pure aerodynamic pitch control.
