wind power; rational energy into electricity?

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?

Who am I ?

Erik

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.
