A brief ''grand tour'' of current wind machine development overseas is given. The International Energy Agency Agreement on Wind Energy R and D of 1978 and the IEA for Cooperation on Large Scale wind energy systems are outlined. Several examples of small machines in Denmark and Sweden are shown. The high technology approach of Germany features the 100 meter diameter Growian I, the largest windmill yet built, in Bremerhaven, on the North Sea. Development in the UK and Canada are also touched upon.
