Presenting you the world’s largest turbine. This turbine may light up thousands of British home starting in 2012.This turbine is the prototype is the flagship for the company’s Britannia Project, which hopes to dot the ocean - most of it around the UK owned by the Crown Estate - with massive megawatt turbines sitting on deep-sea floating platforms. This one is expected to be in place by 2012. Majesty’s windmill has been super sized to ten megawatts, producing five times the power generated by typical big turbines currently in commercial operation.

We don’t know how much it cost her, but word is that the Queen of England has put down some mega-bucks to buy the world’s largest wind turbine. The 10-megawatt monster machine built by Clipper Wind power of Carpinteria, California will have a wingspan larger than two soccer fields and will stand 574 feet tall when completed.

The windmill is expected to displace two million barrels of oil as well as 724,000 tons of CO2 over its lifetime. It will also serve as the flagship for Clipper’s Britannia Project, an effort to produce massive new turbines on deep-sea floating platforms. If all goes as planned, the Queen’s windmill will light up thousands of British homes. These largest turbines are based on beneficial technology that enlightens your house.
