How is wind energy utilised?
wind turbines are placed to make use of wind energy, in the wind turbine an alternator having large gear mechanism is fixed , when the wind blows, the turbine moves, which in turn forces the gears to rotate, which in turn moves the alternator to generate electricity.
Who invented the first wind turbine?
The inventor of the wind turbine was Charles F. Brush in 1888.
What is a wind turnbind?
A wind turbine is a form of electric generation. On top of a tall pole there is a turbine (fan thing) and the wind spins it around. The turbine is connected to a motor which generates an electromagnetic flow from the motion.
What does a wind turbine do?
A wind turbines uses the wind to power an electricity generator.
How do you make a wind energy project?
Buy a wind turbine or a windmill.
What speed of wind is required for a wind turbine to generate electricity?
5mph
How is wind created in a wind turbine?
wind is not created by the turbine but wind that passes through the turbine causes it to turn, and the faster the turbine spins the more energy is created that can be turned into electricity and other resources. Hope This Helps :)
Does a wind turbine turn the generator?
yes
What makes a windmill turn?
the wind and the turbine together
How does the speed of the wind affect the amount of energy produced?
The faster the wind, the faster the wind turbine will turn
How is wind energy utilised?

What does a wind turbine turn kinetic energy into?
Rotational energy, and then electrical energy.
What does the shaft in a wind turbine do?
The shaft is the part that gets turned by the turbine blades. It in turn is connected to the generator within the main housing.
What is used to turn a generator?
A handle, a pair of pedals, a treadmill, a water mill, a petrol engine, a diesel engine, a wind turbine, a steam turbine, a gas turbine.
What does a wind turbine make?
A wind turbine makes wind for scientific study.
How is air used to generate energy?
Air/wind can turn a fan or windmill that is connected to a generator in the same way that water is converted to steam in order to turn a turbine. Air, and more specifically wind, is used to power windmills, that cause a turbine to turn, and generate electricity.
Which object converts wind power to electricity?
A windmill or a wind turbine. Once there is enough wind the blades turn the generator inside. This generates electricity.
