Scaling by size

This catalog gives quite a bit of data, including the dimensions and weight of wind turbines from 400 W to 500 kW. It seems to scale up far less than cubic.

It can help to put a basis of some AWES when scaling.

This can also help try to understand if Kiwee-type wind turbines can be reasonably light when they scale up (see 2.5 m diameter, 80 kg, weight aloft?), knowing that the generator is not aloft. In the end this could help to choose between Torus surrounding one or more wind turbines and Torus surrounding a rope-drive wind turbine, and the possibilities for aerostats in regard to hydrogen use.

On the other hand, we don’t have the weight per component, especially that of the generator, which makes up a major part of the mass (see nacelle).
