World's Largest Wind Turbine

Posted by michael on from the it's-a-chopper-baby dept.

PeteJones writes "'Construction work on the REpower 5M was successfully completed last night with the installation of the rotor. Thus the main work on the prototype of the 5-megawatt, world's largest wind turbine has finally been completed.' The pictures are quite impressive.
