On Friday, February 23 2018, Mühlheide Windpower Museum was honoured to welcome the Dutch wind energy pioneer Henk Lagerwey. He was accompanied by Jos Beurskens, former employee at ECN.

Both work in the field of wind energy since the 1970s and decisively influenced the Dutch and international wind industry. While Beurskens focused on research and certification, Lagerwey developed the famous, mostly two-bladed wind turbine named after him. They are still ubiquitious in both the Netherlands and Germany.

Due to the engagement of one of our members this meeting was made possible. With biting cold but a shining sun a tour through museum, exhibits and depot was made. Two Lagerwey machines close to the museum were visited eventually.

This truly special meeting was commonly considered as very pleasant, informative and helpful. Mühlheide Windpower Museum thanks both guys for showing up!
