How Offshore Wind Works
To convert the mechanical energy into electricity, the rotating shaft turns a rotor inside the turbine''s generator, causing magnets to rotate within a coil of wire. As the magnets move, they generate

How Do Wind Turbines Work? Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like
