Enercon, Germany'slargest wind turbine manufacturer, now makes the most powerful windturbine in the world, the E112. This giant turbine was upgraded, sothat instead of generating 4.5 megawatts, it now produces 6 megawatts —that's enough to supply power to 4000 homes in Germany. It's named theE112 because it has a rotor diameter of 112 meters (about 367 feet). Italso has an innovative gearless drive system, so it doesn't require anyoil to operate. The tips of the turbine's blades are tilted to reducenoise emissions.

Other distinctive features include the drop-shaped turbine housing, which was designed by Sir Norman Foster, and the turbines towers, which are painted light green at their base to blend in with their surroundings.

One of these turbines is being used to supply power in Dardesheim.This remarkable town makes use of renewable power almost exclusively(read more about the town here).

Manufacturers have been increasing the size of turbines over the past few decades, as this diagram shows:
