Forget everything you thought you knew about wind farms. We're about to dive deep into the world of floating offshore wind, where turbines dance on the waves and clean energy knows no bounds.

In this video, we're going to explore the floating offshore wind industry, from the fundamental principles that allow these massive structures to float, to the innovative designs that could shape the future of wind energy.

If you would like to help develop the Engineering with Rosie channel, you could consider joining the Patreon community, where there is a chat community (and Patreon-only Discord server) about topics covered in the videos and suggestions for future videos and production quality improvements.   / engineeringwithrosie
