The power of wind energy can be harnessed to generate electricity. To make electricity, the shaft of a wind turbine is connected to an electrical generator at the top of the turbine''s pole or tower.

How Do Wind Turbines Work? Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like
Customer Service
By attaching blades to the motor, wind can be used to provide mechanical energy to the motor so that it works like a generator and supplies electricity. This electrical output could be measured with a
