What I Learned About Wind Turbines

   
I learned that a wind turbine can be very helpfull to the environment. Also a wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used to produce electricity, the device may be called a wind generator or wind charger. If the mechanical energy is used to drive machinery the device is called a windmill or wind pump. Today's wind turbines are manufactured in a range of vertical and horizontal axis types. The smallest turbines are used for applications such as battery charging. Also for auxiliary power on sailing boats. While large grid-connected arrays of turbines are becoming an increasingly large source of commercial electric power. You can also find them in any wind farm. To me this invention is one of the best because it is helping our world. I also learned how to build one and how to get energy from it.
