Wind Farms
Most winds are produced by the sun, so wind power is actually a form of solar energy that produces electrical energy. Wind-generated power is clean and renewable.
Wind power is generated through the use of a windmill made up of a fan, which is attached to the central rotor. Power is lead from the rotor to the generator by a set of belts.
The two energy transformations involved with wind farms are Radiant to Mechanical and Mechanical to Electrical.
