A wind generator creates electrical power by harnessing the energy created by wind. The wind generator was invented by Charles F. Bush in the year 1888.

What needs wind to work?

Wind turbines need wind to work. The blades of a wind turbine are turned by the force of the wind. This turning motion then generates electricity through a generator connected to the blades.


What device can be used to harness the energy in wind and convert it into electricity?

A wind turbine is the device that can be used to harness the energy in wind and convert it into electricity. The turbine blades rotate when wind passes through them, turning a generator to produce electricity. Wind turbines are commonly used in wind farms to generate power on a larger scale.


In what order does the wind go through to get to the generator?

Wind flows through the rotor blades, causing them to spin. The spinning rotor turns the shaft connected to the generator. The generator converts the mechanical energy from the spinning shaft into electrical energy.


How does wind power produce electricity?

In essence, the wind turbine collects kinetic energy from the wind and transfers it to the generator. The blades on the turbine turn as the wind blows. As these blades move, they rotate a shaft connected to the rotor of a generator. The spinning magnets of the generator convert that rotational energy into electricity.


How does wind energy help wind turbines work?

Wind blows on a windmill or wind turbine and makes it rotate. This can be looked at the kinetic energy in the moving air being converted to the kinetic energy of the rotating vanes. The rotating turbine turns a shaft that turns (through gears) a electrical generator. The generator produces electricity. This can be seen as the kinetic energy of the rotating vanes transferred to the kinetic energy of the generator, which converts it to electrical power. The electrical power is then sent into the electric grid.

What is a wind power generator If the wind isn't blowing will it still work?

Yes it will still work if the wind is not blowing because the generator is capable of storing the energy it collects from wind power and converts it stores as you need it.

How does energy work with wind?

Wind turns a propeller on a windmill, which in turn turns a turbine causing static electricity to build up and is "pumped" into a generator. From the generator it goes to a sub station that collects and distributes the electricity to buildings.

How much is a wind power generator?

The cost of installing a home wind power generator depends on the kilowatt it produces. A 1 kilowatt wind power generator usually costs $3000-$7000. A 7 kilowatt wind power generator costs $20,000-$40,000. The more kilowatt it produces, the more costly it is.
