WIND
Respond to this post with information about wind energy.
Wind can generate energy and create renewable power as long as the wind blows. Wind power is a different type of a solar energy and can generate a lot of power, it is also used very much now a days.
Wind is solar energy. It is created by the uneven heating of the atmosphere of the sun, its surface, and the Earth’s rotation. The wind turbines pick up the wind flow and are used to generate electricity.
Wind energy is a form of Solar energy. Winds are caused by 3 different things that the earth does such as rotation, irregularities (mountains), and the uneven heating of the atmosphere.
Wind turbines are 100 ft above ground. They are up so high so that they can get as much wind as possible. The movement of the wind is caught by the turbines propellers. There are usually 2 or 3 blades on any given rotor.
Wind power is a very simple and effective way of getting energy. It can supply all of a small town and is one of the more modernized ways to collect energy.
Wind energy is energy that is created by using the wind to generate power and is a form of kinetic energy that can be converted into mechanical energy or electricity. Wind power is created by different types of wind power generators such as windmills and wind turbines. (:
Wind energy is created when wind turns the blades of the turbines and creates kinetic electricity. A large area of wind turbines is called a wind farm and they are used to power communities and cities.
Like old fashioned windmills, today’s wind machines use blades to collect the wind’s kinetic energy. The wind flows over the blades creating lift, the same motion and airplane makes with air. The blades are connected to a drive shaft that turns an electric generator to produce electricity.

The radiation of the sun heats every part of the Earth’s surface, but it doesn’t heat them all evenly. Different surfaces take shorter or longer. The hot air rises reducing the pressure and replaces it with cool air. The wind turbines pick up the wind flow and are used to generate electricity.
Air motion helps make the blades move and that helps to create energy. Wind energy is an inexhaustible type of energy. Wind energy can create energy for an entire city.
Windmills capture energy in air from wind. It converts kinetic energy into mechanical energy. Wind electric turbines generate electricity for homes and businesses and for sale to utilities.
As a rule, wind speed increases with altitude and over open areas that have no windbreaks. Good sites for wind plants are the tops of smooth, rounded hills, open plains or shorelines, and mountain gaps that produce wind funneling.
Google invested a project involving turnbines called the Atlantic Wind Connection. The project was to create a 350-mile power transmission backbone linking wind turbines several miles offshore with sites along the United States East Coast.

ReplyDeleteWind is simply air in motion. It is caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun.
ReplyDeleteWind is the fasted growing energy source in America. The U.S is trying to be the best energy source for wind by putting windmills across the U.S

ReplyDeleteThe big windmills use kinetic energy from the wind to turn the turbines to create energy.

ReplyDeleteHot air rises, reducing the atmosphere pressure at the earth’s surface, and cooler air is drawn in to replace it. The result is wind.

ReplyDeleteA wind energy system transforms the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical or electrical energy that can be harnessed for practical use.
ReplyDeleteThere are two designs of wind turbines, a vertical-axis and horizontal-axis.
ReplyDeleteWindmills produce wind energy by changing the kinetic energy into electrical energy.
ReplyDeleteThe way the wind turbine works, is the wind flows over the wings, in turn creating lift, and thus it spins the turbine creating energy.
ReplyDeleteWindmills capture energy in the air from wind. They convert kinetic energy into mechanical energy.
