Wind turbine blade counterweight - GIF

[Toolmaker51]

And yes, this does look like a giant version of the LEGO brick separator This isn't a one-off 3D print; it's an official LEGO part (#630), for separating what is now tragically known as "Classic" LEGOs. We didn't have these when I was a kid, or we didn't know they existed. Like many tools, it's largely a replacement for teeth and nails.

How about kids that didn't know LEGO'S [classic or otherwise] were going to exist, let alone 3D printing, or HMT.net?
I'm certain creative toys evolve with generations, Lincoln Logs, Chemistry Sets, American Plastic bricks, Erector Set [probably greatest of all] brought out the mechanic/ designer in many professionals. Though comments from people I know, cite family adults or mentors being the real keystones in their development.
How interesting would be stories behind just folks in video assembling that turbine?

I love this thread, not more than others but it's particular content. I show these blade and generator rigging GIF's to people I think appreciate what 'we' do.
Tomorrows visitors are pretty much service industry cubicle monkeys. Few baby-boomers, lots of X-gen yuppies and post millennials. The real millennials are still away at universities. Kind of arrogant at that, thinking such positions put them driving if not leading edge of the economy.
Oh Yeah?
How many manufacturing and rigging contractors did this take; just one of three blades, base's three sections may be onsite already......road building machinery, concrete and asphalt plants, pipe for railings, the truck, the wheels, the tires, the seats, the safety vests, the walkie-talkies....see any raw material? Add spray paint guns...
Those are roots of an economy.
And I'm putting another extension of last weeks beauty in "Shop Truths..."
