Company installs the world's largest onshore wind turbine with mind-blowing feature: 'Set two new global records'

With 430-foot blades and an 885-foot rotor, a new wind turbine in China is set to power 160,000 households annually.

Chinese company Sany Renewable Energy, which installed the 15 MW unit at a plant in Tongyu, Jilin province, says it's the world's largest onshore wind turbine to date.
 
"This remarkable achievement set two new global records for the largest single-unit capacity and the largest rotor diameter for onshore turbines," Sany said via LinkedIn.

According to Interesting Engineering, the turbine's massive blades result in a greater swept area and capacity, but they also pose a challenge — as blade length increases, greater stiffness and strength is required to avoid issues like stall, classical vibration, and even blade breakage. Sany addressed these concerns by utilizing an aerodynamic design that enhances the blade's overall absolute thickness and improves its structural integrity.

However, the households can have only one light and no heating or A/C.

Considering the piss poor quality of materials and horrible construction practice of Chinese contractors, the fact that their projects have serious defects not just in China but other countries as well, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near the damn thing.

Wind is one of several renewable energy sources that can help reduce harmful air pollution. The burning of traditional energy sources like coal, oil, and natural gas releases pollutants that can contribute to early death, heart attacks, respiratory disorders, stroke, asthma, and other health problems in humans, according to the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

So this reduces air pollution and is safe to inhale to prevent these health effects?

Hey, coming from a windmill, that is clean pollution!
