KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -A wind turbine turns wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic force from the rotor blades, which work like an airplane wing or helicopter rotor blade.

Detailed explanation-2: -The wind – even just a gentle breeze – makes the blades spin, creating kinetic energy. The blades rotating in this way then also make the shaft in the nacelle turn and a generator in the nacelle converts this kinetic energy into electrical energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wind turbines convert kinetic energy to electrical energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -The generator, in turn, converts the mechanical (kinetic) energy of the rotor to electrical energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Wind turbines operate on a simple principle. The energy in the wind turns two or three propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity.
