Curious about what is the upper limit. How much can we go beyond 16 MW before physics laws put a cap on size?

Last I heard I think 25MW turbines were in some early stage of development. At least that is the biggest my former employer I recall was considering for their latest installation vessel. But I have been out of the loop for a while, so would love to hear an update.

The first 14MW was installed quite a few years ago (and it might have been upgraded to 15MW), so this is just a small-ish increase in max size. The big news, foe at least, is that it is Chinese. Siemens, Vestas and GE have some serious competition now it seems

We need to figure out how to get things to spin in space really fast - like some piezioelectrical fan blade turbine that takes advantage of the extremes in differential temps?

@Twosdai - I was talking about space generators, there is no air. So how get spin, from temperature diffs that can turn a turbine/generator?

I don't think that it's necessarily speed which is the thing that we should look for. It's how best to convert large amounts of moving air into rational motion. So a large slow moving windmill may generate more power than a smaller faster moving one.
