ENERCON E126 - The World's Largest Wind Turbine

This is the Enercon E-126, the first wind turbine with 6 MW rated power, rotor diameter: 126m (413ft), hub height: 135m(450ft). Two of these giant wind power units have been built for testing at an onshore location, Rysumer Nacken, near Emden, in the northwest of Germany.
Here each WPU is expected to produce about 18 Mio kWh per year, enough for more than 4,500 homes.

almost half d diameter dude...

[Frank Lippert]

What exactly is meant with diameter here? Not the length of the blades themselves I guess. How long are the blades?

You prove that the invisible pink unicorn does not exist.

what can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

prove that zeus does not exist. Prove that i cannot shoot lightning bolts out of my eyes.

the burden of proof is with these that make the claim. And many religions claim that many different versions of gods exist.

at least i can prove that the bible cannot be true: It contains internal contradictions. and an omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent god can be disproven by external contradictions.

[nadoeloiskat]

Prove it.

[kurtilein3]

the sun will burn out? That's gonna be next week, right?

If everything goes as planned (which it never does) only in 2020 ITER should ignite a first plasma in it's chamber.

To build hundreds of fusion reactors which could produce interruptible source of energy is another story.

[1aMattes]

they actually build an large fusion reactor right now in south france. it's sponsored by half of the world. (ITER)
