[00:00:00]Most people have no idea how big wind turbines actually are.

[00:00:03]The average offshore turbine today stands over 250 m tall. That's taller than the Eiffel Tower. Each blade alone is around 80 m long. Longer than a Boeing 747, and they weigh hundreds of tons.

[00:00:18]Yet, they spin almost silently from a distance.

[00:00:21]The biggest turbine ever built can power 20,000 homes from a single rotation. We walk past scale models in museums and call them impressive. The real thing is on another level entirely.
