As the shift to completely green energy occurs more and more, the ability to harness energy in very efficient manners is growing rapidly. Not only this, but the scale of existing green technologies has been grown to accommodate large scale wind turbines and solar farms. Enercon is a German wind turbine manufacturing company that has created the largest, most powerful wind turbine on the market today.
The E-126 turbine, capable of generating a staggering 7.58 MW per turbine, towers a total of 125 meters into the sky. The video below details the scale and magnitude of construction and you won’t be able to look away.
Seeing all that goes in to creating a machine so large is amazing, from the finesse it takes to align the rotor, to the heights that workers must operate at. The foundation alone weighs a total of 2500 tons, and it is certainly needed in order to counteract the large forces created from the spinning blades above. As of 2012 there were 147 operating models, but there is bound to be far more now as the market has grown steadily.
