How do you convent wind to energy?
The short and simple answer is this: A wind turbine consists of blades; similar to those of a helicoptor. These blades are attached to a generator. As wind causes the blades to move, the blades turn the generator to produce electricity. As to how a generator works; I'll have to leave that up to someone else to explain.
Explain how hydroelectric energy works?
Hydroelectricity works by harnessing the potential energy of flowing water. Gravity pulls water downstream, where it meets and turns the blades of a hydroelectric turbine. The turbine shaft turns the generator rotor, and that creates electricity in the same manner as with other electrical generators. Hope this had helped
How wind energy works?
A wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, a turbine uses wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. The electricity is sent through transmission and distribution lines to a substation, then on to homes, business and schools.

it works by using a turbine
How is wind power harnesed?
Wind Power is harnessed with wind turbines. A wind turbine works the exact opposite of a household fan. The wind pushes the blades in a spinning motion which starts up the generator on the inside, creating your electricity. 1 turbine could power 10000 homes with the right amount of wind.
How does steam turbine works?
Steam or water, it works the reverse of a fan, where the fan pushes air down, the turbine is turned by the steam or water. there's a shaft leading from the turbine to the generator, which produces the electricity

What is another name for the sails of a windmill?
I don't think there is another name other than blade.
How much kwh can a 1 mw wind turbine provide yearly?
If a wind turbine could operate at maximum capacity all the time a 1 MW turbine could produce 8760 MW annually. However this is not the case, wind power is a slave to the elements, it only works when there is wind, and it only works at maximum when the wind is strong enough to spin the blades at maximum velocity. The percentage of capacity produced is variable, and can change hour to hour.
What is a Francis turbine?
The Francis turbine is an inward flow turbine that is the most efficient and widely used water turbine in the world today. It works best in higher head (pressure) applications, and hydroelectric power plants at big dams use these guys to make lots of watt-hours. The term "inward flow" means that the turbine itself (the thing with the blades that the water "presses on" to make the thing turn) has the water directed from the outside of the turbine wheel in onto the blades, and through them to a "center area" for the water to exit. The unit is darn efficient. Pictures are a mouse click away. Use the link to surf on over to our friends at Wikipedia (from which some of the data here was gathered) for more information and the cool pics that really show a viewer how the unit works.

Why does wind generate electricity?
Wind itself does not generate electricity, but using wind turbines it is converted into mechanical energy and the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. "Simply stated, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. Take a look inside a wind turbine to see the various parts. View the wind turbine animation to see how a wind turbine works."
