A floating wind turbine (1) for electric power production and a method for use of the wind turbine (1) is described. The wind turbine (1) includes a hull (2) attached to a supporting column (2′) for a wind turbine (3) arranged to be put into rotation by wind force acting on rotor blades (3′). The wind turbine (1) is connected to a buoyancy device (4) by a coupling device (5). The buoyancy device (4) encircles at least a portion of the hull (2) and supports at least a portion of the mass of the wind turbine (1). The coupling device (5) is a rotary coupling arranged in such a way that the wind turbine (1) is able to rotate an angle from an essentially vertical position towards a horizontal position, or the opposite. The hull (2) is provided with an adjustable ballast (9, 12) arranged to balance the wind turbine (1) about the rotary coupling (5) in any position between the positions. |
