Publication number: 20120222379Abstract: The invention relates to a wind turbine (100) with a tower (10). The present invention is based on the task of advancing a wind turbine (100) in such a way that high degrees of efficiency in the use of input wind energy are maintained along with reduced production costs for wind turbines (100) and simple design features in the construction of the tower (10). The task is solved by said tower (10) being a timber-made hollow body, that said tower (10) consists of modules in the form of segments (16), which are arranged on top of each other, and that said segments (16) consist of timber panels (17, 18, 19, 20).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2012Publication date: September 6, 2012Inventor: Gregor Prass
