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.
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.
Wind contains kinetic energy. When the wind enters the turbine, the kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy. Then the energy goes through a generator that makes it into electrical energy (electricity).In simpler terms:The wind passing the blades of the turbine spin the shaft that is connected to the generator (kinetic to mechanical energy conversion). The spinning generator produces electricity (mechanical to electric energy conversion).
A modern windmill, also known as a wind turbine, works by capturing the kinetic energy from the wind and converting it into electrical energy. The wind turns the blades of the turbine, which are connected to a generator that produces electricity. This electricity can then be stored or used to power homes or businesses.
Windmills work by capturing the kinetic energy from the wind and converting it into mechanical energy using turbine blades. These blades spin a rotor attached to a generator, which then produces electricity. The output electricity is then fed into the power grid or used to power specific applications.
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

I don't think there is another name other than blade.

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.
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.
When the tide is high. It intakes water. When the tide is low. It releases the water, spinning turbines, therefore creating power.
A windmill generator works by harnessing the kinetic energy of the wind to turn the blades of the turbine. The spinning blades then rotate a rotor inside the generator, which produces electricity through electromagnetic induction. The electricity generated is then transferred through power lines for use.
The first gas turbine in the Gulf started working in the 1970s
