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.
What are advantages of wind and wind turbines?
because wind and wind turbines turn in to energy and to make electricity!
Bad things about wind power?
Wind power depends on using wind to make electricity.
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."
What is the cleanest way to make electricity?
wind and solar
How does wind make electricity?
Turbines actually make the electricity wind, water, and other recources do the work of turning the generators to produce the electricity.
How do wind turbines amke electricity?
they make electricity by wind blowng on the blades makeing the generator spin
