WIND ENERGY

HOW IT WORKS

• Wind blows toward the the rotor blades.
• The rotor spins around slowly getting some of the wind.
• Rotor blades swivel on top and the front of the hub for the best angle of the wind.
• Inside the nacelle the gearbox converts lowspeed rotation into highspeed rotation.
• The generator immediately take the kinetic energy From The Spinning drive and turns it into electrical energy.

CURRNT USE OF WIND ENERGY

• Windmills
• Wind powered vehicles
• Wind powered sports
• Wind powered water pumps

POSITIVE EFFECTS

• Free fuel
• Doesn't take much space
• Killer blades
• Many shapes and sizes

NEGATIVE EFFECTS

• Wind turbines are noisy
• Aren't very pleasing to look at
• The strength is not always constant and,
• Varies from zero to storm force.
