A massive turbine developed by Danish wind energy company Vestas has set a new record producing 216,000 kWh over a 24-hour period. The Usain Bolt of wind turbines stands at 722 feet (220 m) at full height, with 38-ton blades that are 263 feet (80 m) in length for a total sweep area of 227,377 square feet (21,124 square meters)—larger than the giant London Eye Ferris wheel. The new turbine is built to withstand harsh North Sea conditions.
