Wind Turbine

A wind turbine generator is a device that converts wind into usable electrical energy.

Electrical energy is produced when the wind energy is converted into mechanical energy by the spinning blades of a wind turbine, which are attached to a spinning rotor and a turbine generator.

There are many different sizes and styles of wind turbines and generators, some of which are capable of providing sufficient electrical power to machines, homes, larger buildings, and even entire cities.

Wind turbines are more useful in areas which produce consistently strong winds.  Wind turbine generators are arguably more environmentally safe than using fossil fuels to produce electricity.
