Record wind turbine from China: Higher than St. Stephen's Cathedral!

On August 16, 2025, China made an impressive progress in the field of wind energy. The energy group Dongfang Electric has presented a new offshore wind turbine, generates the total of 26 megawatts performance, thus setting new standards in wind power technology. Each of the insanely long rotor blades measures 153 meters and is therefore almost as long as the Eiffel Tower, which measures 156 meters without an antenna. These gigantic rotor blades are designed in such a way that they tower over the Stephansdom in Vienna by more than 16 meters, whereby each sheet has a weight of 83.5 tons. The total height of the turbine reaches an impressive 185 meters, which means a hub height of 185 meters. The system can supply around 40,000 households with clean electricity and produces around 68 million kilowatt hours annually.

The Dongfang Electric offshore wind turbine is not only a technical masterpiece, but it also contributes to the expansion of the company in the international wind market. The turbine is designed for international test and security standards and is to be used in large offshore wind farms on the high seas. This shows how important a sustainable energy future is and what role China plays in promoting innovative strength in the area of ​​renewable energies. oekonews.at reports that this project may have the potential to change the wind power landscape significantly.

Technical details of the wind turbine

The technical specifications of the new turbine are remarkable. The rotor diameter is 310 meters, which makes it one of the largest turbines in the world. These dimensions are not only impressive, they could also contribute to increasing the efficiency of energy generation. More rotor surface means better use of the wind and thus higher energy production.

One aspect that cannot be neglected is sustainable energy generation that enables such systems. With the capacity of supplying up to 40,000 households with electricity, Dongfang Electric confirms his commitment to the energy transition and underlines the need to advance the transition to renewable energy sources.

A look at the automobile world

The fascination with technology is not only shown in the area of ​​wind power, but also in the automotive industry. A remarkable example is the 1993 Mazda RX-7 R1 in the striking color Competition Yellow Mica. Of only 350 pieces made for the US market, this vehicle is a collector's item that makes the hearts of many car fans beat faster. The original owner who worked for Mazda North America always kept the car in an almost unchanged condition.

The RX-7 is equipped with a 1.3l Rotary engine, which delivers powerful 255 hp at 6,500 rpm. The stifferer suspension and the aerodynamics package ensure a sporty driving experience. The current mileage is around 38,000 miles and the car is in excellent condition, which increases the value of this classic. Bringatrailer.com emphasizes that vehicles like this RX-7 not only offer technical finesse, but also take an important place in automotive history.

Literature as an emotional experience

Apart from technology and automobiles, the world of literature is also an area that develops emotions and touches people. A list of the 12 most emotional books shows how stories inspire through topics such as friendship, love, war and overcoming. Works like "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry remind us of what really matters in life, while "the unbearable ease of being" by Milan Kundera stimulates thinking.

Some of the other books on this list are "A Culpa é the Estrelas" by John Green, and "The Diary of Anne Frank". These literature pieces are not only intended for shed tears, but also offer reason for reflection on your own life situation.

Overall, both the progress in technology and the treasures of the literature reflect how important it is to make both our physical and emotional world sustainable.
