😀😀😀THE AMZING WIND TURBINE😀😀😀

THE THREE MAIN PARTS OF A WIND TURBINE

• Rotor blades
• Gear box
• Generator

How Rotor Blades Work

• Take energy from the wind
• They "capture" the wind and turn it in rotation of the hub
• They use the same "lift" system
• First there below the wing
• Second stream of air produces, over pressure
• Third it's above the vacuum wings
• It has 3 blades
• Horizontal axes
• Diameter of 40 to 90

Gear Box

• Connects low-speed shaft to a higher speed to increase that retains the speed to 30-60 rotations per minute that's about 1,000 to 1,800 rpm.
• You need 1,000-1,800 that's the speed required to produce energy
• The gear box is costly and heavy
• Part of a wind turbine is when engineers explore "direct-drive" but that generates lower rotation speed not gear boxes

Generator

• Produces 60-cycle AC electricity
• Converts mechanical energy into electrical energy
• Spinning blade of a wind turbine are connected to a spinning rotator and generator
• Useful in areas with a lot wind
• Safer then fossil fuels
• Can provide electric power machines, homes, large buildings, and entire cities

Wind Turbine Facts

• 1 wind turbine ca power 500 homes
• 95% of wind turbines are installed on private land
• Iowa and South Dakota generated more then 25% of wind energy in 2013
• On May 2014, the United States is home of 46,000 operating wind turbines
• By 2030 the United States would save 30 trillion bottles of water
• Americans wind power is worth $10 billion dollar industry
