This is way better than building a solid base offshore turbine.
It doesn't need the complexities needed for fixed tower to turn the nacelle into the wind. Nor the 360 degrees strength of a fixed tower. The carrying barge can be used for service by bringing the rotor and nacelle down. Or take the entire turbine at bay if needed.
Except the submerged power cable, installation costs can be less than on shore turbines where building roads, cranes and heavy, stiff construction are needed.

How do you access it for service. Lighthouse keepers used to be marooned for months in the 20th century. Also the gyroscopic effect will fatigue the roots of the blades.
I'm not a fan of windmills, however I'm impressed with the cleverness of this design. Leaning the tower away from the blades solves the infrasound problem. It seems to use a minimum of materials and should be reletively easy to assemble and install--HOWEVER, my gut tells me there isn't enough ballast and flotation to deal with side winds that might push the structure sideways until the blades touch water, which would instantly destroy them. So what about that Mr Smart Engineer at Iviterna?
@enicao because the turbines have to swing at anchor in very deep water the anchor lines would have to be very long meaning a big swing radius. It would be hazardous for navigating. having two pontoons might make for stability but may be tha would be harder to launce from the barge. I'm impressed with the tilting down wind design but what about electic cable snagging, what about navigation headaches.
@bergenstation my point exactly! how does it keep its balance?!?!!?
you need stabilizers on at least 2 axis. this turbine has only one. in this man made video it looks awesome, but in the ocean, with rouge waves a drastic tides, not to mention the idea that a terrorist whale crashes into the anchor cables...
it is amazing, but the REAL ones that i have seen are way different than this one. hope they can build it.

WORLD RECORD: BIGGEST WIND TURBINE
Visit: windturbinecarriedbywheels.weebly.com
ZERO-NOISE from gears and generators since they are sealed underground.
SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS since slow-moving.
DOES NOT NEED TO OCCUPY A WIDER LANDSCAPE since the turbine can be very tall.
MAY BE LOWER-COST since it may use timber and other cheaper things.
ELUDES HURRICANE FORCE since the blades automatically close.
NO FIRE since well-cooled.
HELPS THE WIND ENERGY COMPANIES since it is FREE FOR ALL.

cool animation, but...a few questions.
what about waves? cause those happen in the ocean.
how will that thing be stabilized in real life? cause here they just have little beams...
how long would it take for it to pay back in energy the cost of material and energy of laying one down (with cables)?

The moment that the rotor-nacelle assembly puts on the base would seem to be way too big to hold it up. The foundation would have to be gigantic

That's definitely more practical than offshore solar panels.

Access is easy. Either use a helicopter or sail up to it with a smallish work-boat.
Just like they do with all other offshore turbines.

nah it`s quite possible but
question is
is it fasible
u need to tie it to sea bed -very costly
u need to balance its c.g. - adds to expenditure
it`s not stable.
other alternatives are quite better

I think the engineers at nautica know better than your gut feeling, no offense but im sure that is a main design consideration

like boats on a mooring, the turbine rotate around the chain and always face the wind.
my problem is how it handle the big waves, and tides. I would have put 2 flotting things in a V to make it more stable

I love this idea. Simpler, cheaper, easier to maintain, less to go wrong. It's the Ford Model T of ocean turbines.
