How does wind power produce electricity?

In essence, the wind turbine collects kinetic energy from the wind and transfers it to the generator. The blades on the turbine turn as the wind blows. As these blades move, they rotate a shaft connected to the rotor of a generator. The spinning magnets of the generator convert that rotational energy into electricity.

How does energy work with wind?

Wind turns a propeller on a windmill, which in turn turns a turbine causing static electricity to build up and is "pumped" into a generator. From the generator it goes to a sub station that collects and distributes the electricity to buildings.
