In a time where pollution has become a big issue, keeping the Earth as clean as possible is exceptionally important. One of the best ways for keeping it cleaner is by producing electric energy without the use of fossil fuels, which pollute the air quite a bit! Many ecological ways of producing electricity were invented, with the windmills being among them! Windmills are very common throughout Europe, and rightfully so. Nonetheless, today we have a video for you guys where you can see how windmill wings are transported! It is nowhere nearly as simple as we imagined it would be! Furthermore, we must admit we were completely stunned by the size of the windmill wings!
The wing shown in the video is a whopping 241 feet long! If the wing is put vertically, it would be bigger than a 20 story building! Most of the time, you see windmills from quite afar, and you would probably never think they are enormous! This video however, proved us very wrong!
Due to their massive size, transporting windmill wings is quite a feat. In the video, we can see a wing being transported through a roundabout. Because of their size and the time needed just to get through the roundabout, the circular intersection was closed for traffic for a brief period of time! The windmill wing is transported by a MAN truck, and the base of the wing is attached onto the back of the truck. This is not all though, as some 100 feet after the truck a semi-trailer is being pulled as well.
This semi-trailer is supporting the end of the windmill wing. If you have ever wondered how something big like windmill wings is transported, then wonder no more! You can find your answer in the following video!
