"When Vincent Schellings started designing wind turbines two decades ago, he frequently polled his colleagues about what they thought was the biggest turbine they could build. “We didn’t get much further than a 3-megawatt machine with a 100-meter rotor,” he recalls. “But even that seemed too big.”

A few days ago, Sibylle Stefan experienced a major milestone on what’s already been a remarkable personal journey. From a dock in Warnemünde in Northeast Germany, the GE project manager watched as tugboats began the slow process of moving her biggest job out to sea: a yellow block the size of the Arc De Triomphe that will help connect offshore wind farms in the North Sea to the land.

Every year, GE sends photographers, filmmakers and other artists around the world to document its technology in action. 2016 was no different. Pilot and photographer Adam Senatori flew to the Farnborough International Airshow to photograph the world’s latest and largest planes, Chris New went inside GE’s brand-new 3D-printing factory, and lensman and musician Ruben Wu visited America’s first offshore wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island.

Turnt4Turbines: Top Photogs Shoot Block Island Wind Farm

September 20, 2016
It’s the last week of summer. Sunset. You’re 3 miles out to sea, 500 feet above the churning waves in a little red helicopter with (you hope) a trusty seatbelt and no door.
Roughly at eye level, a white blade traces a sinuous line across the sky to the nacelle that holds the gears of an offshore wind turbine.

Grip your camera, lean out (but not too far, bucko!) and train it on the turbine backlit by a fiery sun. Find the turbine’s reflection in the aircraft’s tail. Snap.

The French port of Saint-Nazaire lines the northern shore of the Loire estuary as the river empties its muddy waters into the Atlantic Ocean. The city may not be large, but the 70,000 people who live there are used to making very big things.
The world’s fastest and largest liners, including Normandie and Queen Mary 2, sprung from its dry docks. The port also serves as a transit hub for the fuselage and wings that make the double-decker Airbus A380, the world’s largest passenger aircraft.
