Terrific Turbines!
Louis' dad came to visit us to tell us about his company and how they support Off Shore Wind Farms. Ian told us about his Sea Cats and we learned some amazing facts about the boats and the turbines that his company works with!
A few days after his visit we decided to go out onto the field to find out exactly how long these fact measurements equated to!
Did you know that a Sea Cat can be up to 25m long! A Turbine blade is around 80m (just one blade!!!!) and the total length of a turbine from top to bottom is a massive 163m!!!!!!
First we estimated how far we thought these distances were by striding, counting and leaving children as space markers. Then we used trundle wheels and measuring tapes to gain a more accurate measurement. Wow was the word of the morning!!
