It's all about a safe tool for repair of rotor blades. Imagine that your wind turbine is installed offshore and provides significant amounts of wind energy. But then, one of the wind turbine's blades requires maintenance, or worse, gets damaged. You cannot simply take your ladder and climb up there to make the repairs like you would at home. So, Jeroen Tol and Wouter Kloppenburg from Ampelmann introduce their bright-blue “Puffer” in their production hall in Rotterdam harbour, a kind of oyster or mussel that folds around a rotor blade where you can safely stand in to do your repairs.
