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

It’s really nice to see that people will keep designing things that will keep firefighters busy.
All these new things for firefighters to study!
Think about the ‘collapse zone’ radius from those babies!
