UNCUT - 50 meters BASE jump from steampunk wind turbine

The design process of this turbine, created by one man, took nearly 20 years to complete.
Unfortunately the creator died just before the planned launch of this project. The power plant is now in decline and unlikely to be completed, nor commissioned further.

I'm more interested in the climb than the jump.

[Viperness]

For anyone wondering how they got up there, they just switched to creative mode and flew.

You guys are nuts! I was a Marine, we did some repelling and even spyrigged one time. I've been an electrician for almost 30 years, have countless hours in the air in buckets, ladders etc. Never had a problem with hights, but seeing you standing there like holy sh**!

[channelname]

I am impressed by the jump but the second I opened this video I asked myself:

How the hell did they get up there?

[soundterrorist]

10 seconds of flight, 15 minutes of adrenaline, 4 hour drive, 1h of packing up the chutes (each)

[Puleczech]

I appreciate the fact this video was on point, no bullshit, no music, no intro or outro, no begging for subs and likes all while being actually really great and providing a meaningful description.





For that, you have earned my like, sub and save into favourites. Please continue this way!

This looks like it's straight out of some post apocalyptic earth movie. So Gorgeous

" There is a windmill in the field in Rębielice Królewskie. The field is owned by Józef Antos, residing at ul. Główna 41. Born in 1932, a mechanical locksmith, for 25 years he worked on the construction of the largest wind farm in Europe. Finally, in 2003, a massive steel structure was erected on the eastern edge of Rębielice Królewskie. Hundreds of pieces were welded together on site and lifted by a small elevator, the huge circular-bladed windmill was welded together. Its total height is 54 meters, and the diameter of the 280-square-blade circle (300 square meters) is 32 meters. The total weight of this power plant is 240 tons, its resistance to destruction is 65 m / s. "Unfortunately, the lack of a suitable generator still prevents Mr. Antos from starting the production of electricity." [4]. This interesting facility is one of the greatest attractions not only of the village, but also of the entire poviat. Information about him appears quite often in the press and television.

The small village of Rębielice Królewskie in the Silesian Voivodeship has about 1000 inhabitants and is not one of the most significant towns in Poland. However, there is a structure that attracts not only the eye, but also tourists - a giant wind turbine in the shape of a circle. Today, the forgotten structure is the work of Józef Antos.

The history of this unusual wind farm dates back to 1978, when Józef Antos decided to build an unusual wind farm in his field. Mr. Antos, a locksmith and mechanic by profession, decided to build a wind turbine with one circular wing.
Work on the unusual structure lasted until 2003 and cost the designer over PLN 1 million. The windmill has a diameter of 32 m and consists of 280 blades. The whole is placed on a steel tower, so the entire structure is 54 meters high and weighs 240 tons.

According to the calculations, the power plant was to generate 35 kW of energy at a wind speed of only 2 m / s. At a speed of 14 m / s, the power was to increase up to 2000 kW. Unfortunately, despite the completion of the construction in 2003, Józef Antos could not find a suitable generator to install in his turbine. Worse, the constructor died on October 13.
The turbine he built was never put into operation and is now decaying left unattended. After the creator's death, the rotor was rotated to be sideways to the strongest winds, but nevertheless many blades were broken from the blocked structure.

Probably the windmill will never be put into operation again, and in a few years it will be dismantled due to its poor technical condition. It is worth adding that many specialists question the parameters assigned to Mr. Antos's construction. According to them, at higher wind speeds, the turbine would simply break due to the inability to control the angle of the rotor blades. Unfortunately, it looks like we'll never know if that would happen.

That place looks so dystopian like i dunno like it has a creepy backstory. Would make for a cool wallpaper.

[willbradley]

Wow, when he was at the top he was almost out of render distance.

[jz]

One of the coolest things I've ever seen. Wish you all the best guys!

[LegalTyranny]

Holy shit man. I've been following you since you had somewhere under 1000 subscribers. I knew you'd blow up at some point because no one was doing the things you were. I can't believe this is at 32 million views. Congrats! I hope it funds plenty more trips and gear!

[patmartin]

And jumped over you mates canopy nicely done

[robb]

Well done fella, my pal did something similar with a pillow case and he couldn't slow the speed down 🙏🏼👍🏼

[ShamanZaZa]

Definitely in the gotta see getting there. That's just mind blowing how you got to the top of the rig!

[urspaghetti]

For anyone interested on how he got there, there is a ladder attached to the side. This beautiful abandoned windmill is in Poland located near a village called Rębielice Królewskie. Thank me later

[apollosjesu]

For I second I thought the fields were water and they were on a island with the abandoned wind turbine on it

[JaiVardhanSingh]

For anyone wondering how they got up there, they used Catapult.

[imacrazyguy]

that landing was great, the jump made me chuckle 😅
