WIND ENERGY

Air is basically a mixture of many components in an appropriate ratio that helps humans

to be alive by process of breathing. But how the Air is capable of producing energy?,

because of its other form wind “To define it simple, Wind is nothing but, movement of

air. Like how, waves are the form of water-Samwise, the wind is, with respect to air.

Wind energy (or wind power) refers to the process of creating electricity using the wind,

or air flows that occur naturally in the earth’s atmosphere. Modern wind turbines are

used to capture kinetic energy from the wind and generate electricity. Among all the

energies available, air energy is one of the most important energies because of its

“Renewable “property. The supply of air doesn’t come to an end because it is the basic

need of any organism on earth to live. Many people tend to opt for wind energy

because, the wind energy doesn’t have any operational cost as it is a natural form of

energy. Once the mechanical or electrical instruments are set up, the cost required for

operating this is very low. Some advantages from wind energy are that wind energy

doesn't pollute the air like power plants that rely on combustion of fossil fuels, such as

coal or natural gas. Wind turbines don't produce atmospheric emissions that cause acid

rain or greenhouse gasses. Wind energy is a domestic source of energy. Wind power or

wind energy is the use of air flow through wind turbines to provide the mechanical

power to turn electric generators and traditionally to do other work, like milling or

pumping. Wind power is a sustainable and renewable alternative to burning fossil fuels

and has much less effect on the environment. I will do a wind turbine because I think is

interesting how do they work
