They don't, there are brakes in the nacelle which is a part of the wind turbine. When there is no wind the brakes are on so that the rotors don't turn. In other words TURBINES DON'T MAKE ENERGY WHEN THERE IS NO WIND. They only produce power when the wind is between 14 and 28 mph.

Is wind electrical energy?

Wind is not electrical energy itself, but it can be harnessed to create electrical energy through technologies like wind turbines. Wind turbines use the kinetic energy of the wind to spin turbines, which then generate electricity through a generator.


Is wind energy created by wind tubines?

Yes, wind energy is created by wind turbines. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy by spinning a generator. This renewable energy source is harnessed to generate electricity for various applications.


Do wind turbines depend on energy from the sun?

Yes, wind turbines rely on energy from the sun to create wind. This is because the sun's heat creates temperature differences in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to air movement which generates wind that drives the turbines.


Wind energy renewable?

Wind is a renewable resource on earth. Wind turbines can be used to catch the wind's energy and be used to create electricity.


What limits the use of wind as a major source of energy?
