Future of Energy – Depends On Wind Turbines:


Kinetic energy is that form of the energy which produces from wind and it can be harvested and converted into electricity. The wind turbines are superb machines by which we convert kinetic energy into the electricity. The mechanical device which converts kinetic energy to electrical energy is called “Generator”. Larger wind turbines units typically utilize wind sensors and 'servo' motors while smaller wind turbines are powered by a single wind 'vane'.

Horizontal axis wind turbines have gearboxes; the function of gearboxes is to turn the blades and it rotates blades more quickly and facilitating better energy for the electrical generator.
The blades in vertical wind turbines are arranged in a vertical manner to the rotor shafts. You can produce good energy from the vertical wind turbines if the blades of the turbine are pointed into the wind direction. You can still produce the electricity from the vertical turbine if the direction of wind is altered. So the vertical axis turbines have a lot of advantages.
