Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity. The terms "wind energy" and "wind power" both describe the process by
View Details
Wind flows over the blades creating lift (similar to the effect on airplane wings), which causes the blades to turn. The blades are connected to a drive shaft that turns an electric generator,

Together with solar power and hydroelectric power, wind power is one of the most widely utilized forms of renewable energy.
View Details
A wind turbine turns wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic force from the rotor blades, which work like an airplane wing or helicopter rotor blade. When wind flows across the blade, the air
View Details
When the wind blows, it turns the blades of wind turbines, rotating a drive shaft connected to a generator that produces electricity. When the sun shines onto a photovoltaic solar...
