- a wind turbine - The propellers or blades around a rotor turn when the wind blows against them, producing energy. This energy passes from the rotor to the main shaft, then spins the generator to create electricity. A tower approximately 100 feet in height holds the wind turbines to capture most energy coming from the wind. Wind turbines can produce electricity for a single building or home as well as distribute electricity through power grids
