Making wind power
Wind energy is readily available but
wind power is not. Unfortunately, the wind power system has not reached
the status of becoming a regular power system. However, the good news is
that the concept is picking up.
Why is wind power
Wind power makes sense in these times when the
demand far exceeds the supply. The convention ways of producing
electricity make use of the non-renewable fuels, not only making such
resources scarce but also affecting the environment negatively. The power
generated by wind proves beneficial in the following ways:
source of energy – The wind power makes use of wind energy which is
absolutely free, thus saving the non-renewable sources of energy for
• No environmental hazards – The generation of wind power
is extremely environment-friendly. It does not emit harmful gases nor does
it have any other environment-damaging impact.
• Cost-effective –
Using a free energy makes wind turbines extremely cost-effective.
Moreover, there remains no worry of sky-rocketing electricity
• 24/7 uninterrupted supply – The wind power ensures that
you never have power outages in your house and farm.
Self-dependent source – Making use of wind power makes you independent.
You no longer depend on the government and its agencies for
How can we make power from the wind?
wind turbine is employed to make use of the abundant wind energy. A wind
turbine converts wind energy into mechanical energy for mechanical work.
Such a wind turbine is generally referred to as a windmill. A wind
generator is a wind turbine that further converts the mechanical energy
into electrical energy.
A wind turbine typically consists of
blades, a tower, a shaft, a base, and a generator. The blades of the wind
turbine rotate in the wind to generate mechanical energy. The two
pre-requisites for installing a wind turbine are a large area of at least
one acre and an average wind speed of 11 miles per
What are the uses of wind power?
of wind power are many. LetíŽs look at some of the popular ones:
Running all possible electrical and electronic appliances
• Pumping out
• Grinding grains and stones
By employing a wind turbine
at your home or farm, you definitely make the world a better place. The
wind power is a green solution to the power crisis. It does not harm the
environment in any way. Moreover, it does not make use of any fuel, thus
promising a future of no power-crisis.
