1. The first power generating turbine was constructed in Ohio during the late eighteen-hundreds. According to windpower.org, it had one-hundred and forty blades, and was used to charge batteries.
2. Small turbines can be purchased on line for under $800 dollars. They are also frequently listed at on line auction websites, along with other electricity-generation related equipment and BUTT HOLE
3. Power produced by wind was the only renewable energy type in the United States for which consumption increased from 2000 to 2001. According to PBS, it steadily increased starting in 1998, after a reduction in 1997.
4. This type of power works much the same way as a dynamo, such as a radio with a hand-crank for charging its battery. Instead of a hand turning the dynamo to generate electricity, the wind turns it.
5. A Canadian company has developed a street light which is powered with a battery charged by both a small turbine and a solar panel. According to ecofriend.org, it requires very little maintenance.
6. As of Dec. 2006, Germany far outranks the other European countries in this type of power generation. According to the European Wind Energy Association, Spain ranks second and Denmark third. Romania and Slovakia produce very little.
7. Turbines have a maximum speed they are capable of deriving power from; for example, a 150MPH gust wouldn't release a massive surge of electricity, it would create the same amount of energy as wind at the maximum rate does.
8. Canada's wind power production capacity is almost nineteen-hundred megawatts (Source: Canada Wind Energy Association), which is greater than that of France and nearly equivalent to the U.K.
9· The largest wind turbine in the world is in Hawaii. It stands 20 storey's high and has rotors the size of a football field.
10· Wind is the fastest growing energy source in the world.
11· UK is the windiest country in Europe. There is so much wind, that the whole country could be powered several times by wind power.
12· There is evidence that wind energy was used to propel boats along the Nile river as early as 5000 BC.
What else can I help you with?
What is energy from wind called?
The conversion of wind energy into a useful form of energy is called the WIND... ENERGY. Have to add the ellipsis for it to work.
Does energy come from wind?
Yes, wind energy is generated from the kinetic energy of the wind. This energy can be harnessed using wind turbines to generate electricity.
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.
What are 5 facts about wind power?
Wind power is a renewable energy source that harnesses the power of moving air to generate electricity. Wind turbines can vary in size, with larger turbines capable of producing more energy. Wind power is considered a clean energy source as it produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation. Wind farms can be located onshore or offshore, with offshore wind farms typically having higher energy production potential. Wind power is one of the fastest-growing sources of electricity generation worldwide.
What is called wind energy?

Are Wind farms used to transform the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy?
Wind turbines (in a wind farm) convert kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. Not to be confused with wind mills - that turn the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy.
What are 5 differences between solar and wind energy?
solar energy is energy from the sun and wind energy is energy from the wind
What are some bad facts about wind?
wind smells like the wind

How is wind energy transferred?
Wind energy is transferred by wind mills.
Does wind energy produce renewable energy?
Wind energy is renewable energy.
What is called wind energy?
Wind energy is just called wind energy.
How does a wind energy looks like?
Energy can not be seen but can be felt; wind energy simply mean energy that provided by wind.
