Wind Turbines Generate Electricity
389 wordsWind energy is an unlimited source of energy. Many countries, including the United States, use wind energy to some degree. Wind turbines generate electricity by spinning in the wind. There are two main types of wind turbines: the horizontal axis variety and the vertical axis design. The horizontal type is the more common which looks like a traditional windmill. Electricity generated from wind turbines is fed into a local utility grid and distributed just like ordinary electricity. Some wind turb...

19 Th Century Source Of Energy
1,612 wordsWind Power (1) One of the reasons why our civilization was able to progress technologically is because people strived to adjust surrounding reality to their own needs. Harvesting wind can serve as the best example of human ingenuity. It is impossible to say now when people first thought of using wind power. There are historical accounts of boats being equipped with sails that date as far back as 1000 B. C. Up until the middle of 19 th century; naval ships were being powered by wind. The first re...

Source Of Energy Problem Of Global Warming
1,596 words... one saying goes - the gust of wind, created by the sway of butterfly's wings, can develop into a storm. At the same time, it opens a theoretical possibility for us to influence weather, for as long as we know all weather-inducing variables. There is also another way of achieving greater reliability of wind harvesting, as the source of energy. The article Wind Power Gathers Speed, which can be found on the site of Australian Academy of Science, gives us an insight on how it can be accomplishe...

Wind Turbines Wind Speeds
633 wordsWind is created Wind Wind Wind is created from the earths warm air rising and creating a vacuum that causes cooler air to replace it. This flow is constantly disturbed by the rotation of the earth and local atmospheric conditions. This rotating cycle results in what we call wind. When harnessed, using sails, mills, and modern wind turbines, wind can serve us a powerful and renewable energy source that may soon become very important to our modern lifestyles. Wind can be converted into mechanical ...
