Seltene Erden im Windrad – Was Neodym, Praseodym und Dysprosium bewirken

Rare earth elements play a crucial role in many modern wind turbines. In this video, I explain in simple terms the functions of neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium in the permanent magnets of the Enercon E-160 EP5 wind turbines at the Haiderbacher Höhe wind farm. We also take a look at the periodic table and clarify why rare earth elements are actually misnamed. In an upcoming video, we'll explore the origins of these raw materials, their extraction, and the global supply chains that reach Germany. --- 📍 *Filmed at the Haiderbacher Höhe wind farm (Westerwald)* *Topics covered in this video:* Rare earth elements explained simply Neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium Permanent magnets in wind turbines Enercon E-160 EP5 Periodic table Raw materials for the energy transition If you enjoyed the video, please give it a like, leave a comment, and subscribe.
