THE world’s largest wind turbine made out of Lego bricks has been unveiled in the city.

The turbine won the Lego Group a Guinness World Record in May for being the biggest structure of its kind made from the plastic bricks.

Now it is moving to its new home at Park Square, Brighton Marina.

Constructed from more than 146,000 of the toy bricks, the impressive structure took ten to 15 people per shift, three shifts per day and 600 man hours to complete.

It was originally built in celebration of the Lego Group reaching its target of 100 per cent renewable energy capacity three years early.

The turbine will stay in place at the marina until early next year. From its location, visitors will be able to see Rampion, the South Coast’s first offshore wind farm. With 116 turbines standing at 140 metres to their blade tip, the farm will produce enough green electricity to power the equivalent of almost 350,000 homes, once it is fully operational next year.

To coincide with the unveiling of the Lego turbine, the Lego Store in Churchill Square is running a family-friendly day of environmental-themed building activities today from 10am.
