How Can Wind Turn Into Electricity?

Abstract

Wind generators, also known as wind turbines, turn wind into electricity. A wind turbine consists of several metal blades mounted on a metal pole and connected to an electrical generator. The wind rotates the blades, which turn a gear shaft connected to the generator, causing a coil of wires in the generator to move around a magnetic core. This generates an electric current that can be used for all our electrical needs, such as lights. Wind turbines should be placed in areas with strong winds, such as beaches, high mountain peaks, and wide-open mountain valleys. Wind turbines do not consume fuel, and therefore they are environmentally friendly because they do not emit the greenhouse gases that cause global warming.
