Wind turns the turbines for wind energy. As wind blows, it causes the turbine blades to rotate, generating mechanical energy that is then converted into electricity through a generator.

How do wind farms work?

wind farms are built and turbines are put up. As the wind blows it turns the turbines generating electricity.


Do wind turbines use electricity to start turning?

No. Wind blows the blades, and the pole attached to the blades is attached to the turbines, which physically turns the turbines, and the movement of the turbines create electricity.


What energy do wind turbines make?

It generates wind power and turns it to solar energy.JK


What do wind turbines generate?

Wind turbines generate electricity by converting the kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy using the rotor blades, which then turns a generator to produce electricity.


How do wind turbines create energy if there is no wind?

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.


Are wind turbines renewable?

Wind turbines generate renewable energy, yes.A wind turbine is a thing, a machine. We don't use "renewable" about machines. At a push, we use words like "recyclable" or "reuseable".But a wind turbine turns wind into electricity, and wind is a form of renewable energy.


What kind of power is made using wind?

Electrical power is generated by the wind. The wind turns turbines, the motion of which rotates wires inside magnets resulting in electrical current. This is very similar to the way hydroelectric turbines operate, in principle.


How does a wind farm collect energy?

A wind farm collects energy by using wind turbines to convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical power. The wind causes the turbine blades to rotate, which turns a generator to produce electricity. This electricity is then transmitted through power lines for distribution.


What are some of the different designs of wind turbines?
