The blades each are 121 Feet long

the center tower section is 82
and the top section is 98.5
the Nacelle is 12.5x12.5x30, the size of a one car garage.

@ApolloWasReal hello this is my old channel. the thing under the blue plastic is called the DTA, down tower assembly. its the converter that cleans the power from the generator. yes the tower is hollow and there is a ladder that goes the whole length. only one way to the top, climb it. go to my channel and look for a video titled turbine tour

What's that rectangular object wrapped in blue plastic and sitting on the base before the first tower section went up?

Is the tower hollow, and if so, does it have a ladder? How else can you get to the top for maintenance?
