The inventor of the wind turbine was Charles F. Brush in 1888.
A wind turbine is a form of electric generation. On top of a tall pole there is a turbine (fan thing) and the wind spins it around. The turbine is connected to a motor which generates an electromagnetic flow from the motion.
Essentially a turbine looks like a jet engine in reverse, where steam, gas, or liquid is forced through at speed or high pressure to turn a central rotor. if we cut one open the turbine looks like a series of fans inside a tube. Each fan from the from of the tube gets progressively smaller pitched blades.In between each moving blade is a static fan blade to redirect the wake of the previous blade section and increase the speed of the turbine rotor.
A wind turbines uses the wind to power an electricity generator.
The costs for a commercial scale wind turbine is from $1.2 million to $2.6 million, per MW of nameplate capacity installed.
When a wind turbine is working, mechanical energy is transferred from the wind to the turbine blades, causing them to rotate. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy through the generator in the turbine, which can be used to power homes and businesses.
The time it takes to manufacture a wind turbine can vary, but on average it can take anywhere from 4 to 8 months to complete the manufacturing process.

A wind turbine makes wind for scientific study.
a wind turbine generates electricity for or use
The time it takes for a wind turbine to offset its carbon footprint varies depending on factors like the turbine's location and size. On average, a wind turbine typically offsets its carbon footprint within 6 months to a year of operation.
one hundred wind turbines take up one kilometre of land
Typical fossil fuels are used to build the turbine and construct it. Once built wind is the main energy component for the wind turbine itself. Fossil fuel plants run on standby (not producing power yet consuming fuel) to backup these systems. This fuel is ignored to maintain the "green" status of Wind systems.
A wind turbine is like a giant fan that produces energy from the wind
wind is not created by the turbine but wind that passes through the turbine causes it to turn, and the faster the turbine spins the more energy is created that can be turned into electricity and other resources. Hope This Helps :)
