represent air particles with their full kinetic energy. The green bubbles
represent the air particles that have made contact with a blade and therefore
have passed some of their kinetic energy to the the blades |

How Does a Wind Turbine Work? Wind turbines operate on a simple principle.
The energy in the wind turns two or three propeller-like blades around a rotor.
The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create
electricity |

How Does a Wind Turbine Work?
Wind turbines operate on a simple principle. Their blades capture the kinetic
energy in the wind and convert it into mechanical energy by turning a shaft. The
shaft in turn spins a generator, which transforms the mechanical power into
electricity |

Small wind
turbines
A small wind turbine mainly comprises of three major parts - a
rotor, a nacelle with a tail, and a tower or a mounting strurcture. Most small
wind turbines are of the the horizontal axis type. Small wind turbines of
vertical axis type are also available but they are less common. Due to the small
size, small wind turbines produce power at a higher unit cost than that
electricity from large wind turbines. Besides, they turn faster and hence
produce more noise than large turbines,
Small wind turbines can be several hundred watts, or up to tens of kW in power
capacity. Small wind turbines are also found on sailing boats for battery
charging,

Wind
turbines
Modern wind turbines work on aerodynamic lift principle, just like
the wings of an aeroplane. The wind does not "push" the turbine blades, but
instead when the wind flows across and past a turbine blade, the difference in
the pressure on either sides of the blade produces a lifting force, causing the
rotor to rotate and cut across the wind,
