Wind Turbine Bearing Load

[mccarvil]

Does anyone know how to calculate the bearing load on a wind turbine? The gyro loads are the ones I have difficulty calculating. If there is a gyro or wind turbine design reference (book and/or web) that you could recommend?

Thanks.

Maybe look into the loads placed on fixed wing propellers, only in reverse (minus the weight of the aircraft lift).
