Live Green! Wind turbines & windmills - clean & green energy
From the historical use of windmills in Holland to grind grain and pump water, to current advanced applications, wind has proven to be a viable source of green renewable energy. Just like solar energy this renewable energy, when harnessed, can produce immense power for a variety of energy applications.
As a naturally occurring renewable energy resource wind is being utilized in many parts of the world today. It produces 100% clean energy that can help reduce the reliance on, and consumption of fossil fuel s for electricity. Since wind is not constant, a 100% off-grid power supply is not possible. However, in combination with existing power production as an additional a means of producing green energy, windmill turbine generated electricity is certainly a natural renewable resource that is being utilized in many parts of the world today.
A wind turbine is a machine that uses the wind to turn gigantic propellers that are connected to a generator, similar to those of an airplane, to convert kinetic energy, the wind, into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy can then be used to produce electricity.
