Autodesk Inventor Wind Turbine Video

Here's a very impressive Inventor animation on YouTube. The video's creator reports that this project was taken on, in order to explore the concept of low speed wind turbines and learn new CAD skills. I think this is an outstanding way to learn Inventor.

According to the video details the turbine is 212 feet tall and the control surfaces are 62 feet long by 12.5 feet wide.
