Abstract

A method for producing a rotor blade of a wind turbine includes the following steps: a) providing at least two different components of the rotor blade, b) placing a resistive element between the components, c) placing a thermoplastic or weldable thermoset resin between the components, d) energizing the resistive element so that the resistive element applies heat to the thermoplastic or weldable thermoset resin to melt or to soften it, and e) joining the components together by means of the molten or softened thermoplastic or weldable thermoset resin.
