Photo No. DOE-79-11541; Contact: Office of Public Affairs Photo Office; Telephone 301/353-5476: World's Largest Wind Turbine Being Tested in North Carolina: On July 11, 1979, the world's largest wind turbine generator, with blades as long as the wing-span of a Boeing 707 was dedicated near Boone, North Carolina. At winds of 11 miles per hour the giant experimental wind turbine begins to generate electricity, and at winds of 25 miles per hour and above it can produce 2,000 kilowatts (2 megawatts) to serve part of the needs of Boone, while supplying important test data to the United States Department of Energy (DOE). This is approximately the amount of electricity used by 500 average homes. The wind turbine at Boone was designed and constructed for DOE by the General Electric Company, under the technical management of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The Boeing Engineering and Construction Company of Seattle, Washington built the turbine Blades. Credit: DOE Photo by Dick Pebody. Photo measures 10 x 8.25 inches. Photo is dated -- 1979.
