Colossal blade of a wind turbine - Portugal

36  mt long

According to the LM Glasfiber site, the LM 61.5 P is the currently worlds longest wind turbine blade at 61.5 m, and weighs 18 tons. It goes on the world's currently largest wind turbine by REpower. Perhaps the blade you saw weighs 8t rather than 80t. A wind turbine nacelle is one of the heavier components shipped at one piece, requiring a trailer with many more wheels than the one in the video.

Thank you for the enlightening video. I like to see wind power development from around the world.

If you are interested in the technical details, consider joining Wikipedia and helping the other volunteers build the world's largest encyclopedia, in every language. Wikipedia has extensive articles about every energy topic, including wind power; we need more people to help out. Look me up as User:Teratornis and read my user page about Energy. Sorry, YouTube won't let me put a link in a comment.
