Introduction to Wind Energy
Wind energy, one of the most effective and sustainable sources of power, has been used for centuries. From ancient windmills grinding grain, to today's cutting-edge wind turbines generating electricity, the consistent power of the wind has been a key player in the push for renewable energy.
How Wind Energy Works 🌬️
Simply put, wind turbines convert the kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can then be converted into electricity to power homes, businesses, and even entire cities!
