how does wind power work?
i know that
the turbine blades capture wind energy and start moving,
they spin a shaft that leads from the hub of the rotor to a generator
The generator turns that rotational energy into electricity.
but how does the generator turn the rotational energy into electricity?
please include a reference if you can.
thanks
This video illustrates the operation of a wind turbine and shows the dependence of voltage and current production on the distance of the wind source, the blade angles and the number of blades used. This technology is a great tool that can be placed on rooftops and convert wind energy to electrical energy.

Some places rely on solar and wind energy right? To power their homes and such. How do they use energy in the night or when there is no wind? Do they have something that stores the energy like a big battery or something?
I have to “make” a green city and it will use renewable energy source including solar and wind energy. How would I make the wind and solar energy sustainable and not have shortages of power?
“VAWT” “Wind Turbine” Feel “free” to use any of these “concepts” in your “windmill” designs. The wing or plate that swings on a vertical rod has been around forever and the rest are just “conceptual designs” that I came up with. An engineer proficient using AVIs stress analysis application could determine structural integrity issues using these drawings. Who knows; maybe someone will perfect this “design concept” and build them to the same height as the large HAWTs. I (think) “Vertical Axis Wind Turbines” have the leverage potential to produce more power at lower wind speeds. I am amazed by the large HAWTs and many of the modern VAWTs but I hope that engineers, innovators and last but not least, financial risk takers will continue to find ways to lower the required wind speed. Constructive comments are welcomed. If you do not have any, Yes We Can! works for me. Thanks for viewing.
www.mywindpowersystem.com MyWindPowerSystem.com the best Wind Power site on the planet knows your questions when it comes to purchasing a wind turbine system for your land to generate some extra cash for you from freely available wind. Your questions are How do wind turbines work? Will I have to change the wiring of my house? Will I save money? Will I make money? What about towers? How much does a wind turbine cost? What size wind turbine would I need? How reliable are wind turbines? How reliable are wind turbines? Will it help the environment? Do I have to take wind measurements for a year or more? What are the companies who sellwind turbines? Will my utility allow me to connect a wind power system? Will I have problems obtaining planning permissions? 1.) Perform a rough wind assessment for your location by going to firstlook.3tiergroup.com and enter your site location details. Note! Average yearly wind speed for your area must be 7-10m/s. 2.) Contact your town-ship planning office and find out the max. tower/hub height and max. rotor diameter for a wind turbine allowed in your area. Now you know how much wind is available at your location and you also know the max. rotor diameter and hub height allowed for your wind turbine. Now you can estimate the amount of electricity likely to be generated by a given wind turbine over the course of a year. How do I get this estimate? 3.) Use the Annual Electricity Output Calculator at bit.ly to calculate the expected yearly kWh …
should i change to 50% or 100% wind power energy?
what r some pros and cons of using wind power energy?
i know its green, less gas, coal, nuclear energy will be use less and it will save some money every month
but they asked if i want 50% or 100% wind energy as if theres some thing bad about it…is there?
I understand you probably could not depend upon wind energy for complete power, but I’m assuming it’s just not the most cost effective means?
What about just buying components for a person who has the skills to fabricate their own windmill? I’d really like to hear personal stories from people who have done this themselves, but good internet site referrals are welcome, too.
Ok…it’s a one. I’ve looked at so much information, I’ve lost track…
What sort of applications are there for windpower, like what type of industries use wind energy to work?

Hi, I’m Erik Astrand and the man behind this site.
My story? I am about to be 50 and all my life I have been interested in technical things. Not sure if the special interest for the wind, and how to use the wind, started when I as a 5 year old boy and got my first sail dinghy.
Anyway, wind power and to build my own wind generator was a dream for several years. I studied many websites and also bought many courses before I finally built my own windmill. This site is about that journey and you will also find some more general articles about wind power.
Enjoy! and check out the about me page to read more.
