Wind Power
Wind power is derived from the conversion of wind energy to become a useful form of energy to propel ships, make electricity or pump water. Wind is a renewable source of energy that is widely available and produces no harmful emission during operation.

MichJJCWhat are some renewable sources of power?
Renewable or re-usable resources are:
* solar power * wind power * ocean wave power * river power * tidal power * geothermal power * ocean thermal power * biofuel * biomass
Yes, in the sense that it is an energy source which can be harnessed.
Who are the primary consumers of wind energy?
The primary consumers of wind energy are typically utility companies, industrial facilities, commercial businesses, and residential households. Wind energy is commonly used to generate electricity for various purposes, including powering homes, businesses, and industries.
What is the Greek word for wind?
The Greek word for wind is "anemos."
The word comes from the Greek wind gods, the Anemoi.
The frequency of wind blowing can vary based on location and time of year. In general, wind is more common in coastal areas and at higher altitudes, with daily patterns of calm mornings and windy afternoons being common in many places.
How did people first use wind as energy?
People first used wind as energy by harnessing it with sails to propel boats thousands of years ago. In ancient times, windmills were also used to grind grain and pump water. Today, wind turbines are used to generate electricity for households and industries.
How long has wind power been around for?
It has been around since my mom walked the earth with the dinosours
How does wind power help our environment?
It helps to conserve other fuels which may be in short supply, and it does not produce chemical pollution.
Wind turbines use the wind to rotate blades that turn a rotor - which creates electricity. They range from very small turbines supplying energy for battery charging systems (for example on boats or in homes), to turbines grouped on wind farms supplying electricity to the national grid.
Wind power helps the environment, because, it lasts for as long as the planet Earth is around. Wind power does not pollute the wind, it can be used almost anywhere it can be hooked up to an electrical outlet, and there are many ways to harness wind power: Offshore, onshore, tall wind turbines (hundreds of feet tall), short wind turbines (tens of feet tall), wind turbines on rooftops, airborne wind turbines and wind turbines that are built by do it yourself people. Wind power does not kill as many bats or birds as anti wind power turbine people claim, and it is not that noisy.
Wind power can produce electricity without any carbon dioxide or other emissions. This clean renewable energy source can help us control Global Warming and Climate Change.
Wind is useful to power some devices. Creating large scale power is not one of the workable ideas as of yet. Wind, on large scale farms, is unable to produce enough power to even pay for themselves.
Wind at a home level though is a workable concept. These are much smaller and lower maintenance system. The key is the fact that these systems are not powering the grid, so the major loss of that item is not a factor. Local power generation will become the key to any true green power in the future.
Wind from power companies is a waste of time, effort and energy. Wind from a single home source is going to be a vital key when we start to really look into what we can do to reduce foreign oil dependence. Wind will never be a standalone or single useful source for power.
More wind power (and more of some other renewable energy sources) means we would use less fossil fuels.
How can the energy from renewable resources be used to generate power?
Renewable resources like solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy can be used to generate power through various technologies. Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, wind turbines harness wind to generate power, hydroelectric dams use water flow to turn turbines, and geothermal plants tap into the heat beneath the Earth's surface to produce electricity.
What is a High strong wind called?
Strong winds are known by man names depending on region an meteorological origin:
- Santa Ana Winds
- Derecho
- Chinook
- Straight Line Winds
- Nor-easter
Basically the words Hydro, Wind, Solar Refer to three different sources of Renewable Energy which produce energy from different sources like Water, Air, Sun's heat
Hydro energy (hydroelectricity) is electricity made by using a moving water source (kinetic energy), usually a river, falling by gravity (potential gravitational energy) to turn electric generators. It is the most common form of renewable energy.
Has biomass been used successfully in the past?
yes because they also are good now. this makes no sense. is there something I am missing?
What is the advantage and disadvantage of kinetic energy?
The advantages of kinetic energy is its abundant energy source and it can be created easily. However, its chief disadvantage is its difficulty to be controlled making it an unpredictable energy.
I think the wind is discovered by the first person who lived on Earth! So it should be around 135557963425B.C
