New Wind Power Platform Able to Support World’s Largest Wind Turbine

  • The WindFloat can hold the world's largest turbine at sea.
    We've seen some floating wind platforms in our day -- like the Poseidon platform -- but this new one just might overshadow them all. The WindFloat platform by Principle Power Inc. is so stable, it has the ability to hold the largest wind turbine on Earth (which is 70 meters tall and has blades the length of a football field) without flipping over. Not only are floating platforms less destructive to the environment (because they float, their bases don't need to be secured to bedrock) but just one of these big guys has the ability to power an entire town.
