Wind Turbines

Did you know?... The blades of wind turbines used to produce electricity rotate at up to 22 revolutions per minute. At this speed the tips of the blades are moving at 91 metres per second.

The world’s largest offshore wind farm is the Thanet wind farm, situated just off the English coast in Kent. It contains 100 turbines and its opening made the UK the producer of more offshore wind power than the rest of the world put together.
