Wind energy involves turning energy from the wind into other useful types of energy. Wind power can be harnessed in a number of different ways. For example windmills create mechanical energy,  sails move boats, and wind turbines generate electricity. ]]> 2019-09-30 14:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391353156 evey_bradley92 https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391362910
Around 80 companies are using windmills and have been as of 2009. In 1997 wind power generated only 0.1% of the world’s electricity, this percentage increased to 1.5% in 2008, and 2.5% in 2010. ]]> 2019-09-30 14:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391362910 evey_bradley92 https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391363826
Windmills are some of the most popular way to make wind energy, they were made in persia and have been around all the way since the 200 B.C's. And still working perfectly fine!]]> 2019-09-30 14:27:44 UTC https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391363826 evey_bradley92 https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391371329
The large blades of wind turbines can interfere with some radar systems used by weather stations or air traffic controls, at times being mistaken for planes or different weather patterns. They can also hit birds or other animals flying or even gliding by the windmills.]]> 2019-09-30 14:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391371329 evey_bradley92 https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391892867
Smaller turbines are sometimes used to charge batteries or as backup power in caravans and sailing ships. More up to date wind turbines usually have 3 blades which can reach speeds at the top of over 200 mph. The tips of large wind turbines can reach heights up to 200 m (650ft). Wind turbines can even be installed offshore on floating structures, sending the electricity all the way back to land with the help of undersea cables.]]> 2019-10-01 14:10:56 UTC https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391892867 evey_bradley92 https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391900113 2019-10-01 14:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391900113 evey_bradley92 https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391901928 2019-10-01 14:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391901928 evey_bradley92 https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391905887 2019-10-01 14:28:31 UTC https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391905887 evey_bradley92 https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391909754
Wind energy is made up of these three concurrent events, the sun unevenly heating the atmosphere, irregularities of the earth's surface like earthquakes, volcanos, hurricanes etc., and the rotation of the earth. Wind turbines can be very expensive, that is why they don't have them in many places, not a lot of people can afford it.]]> 2019-10-01 14:33:16 UTC https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391909754 evey_bradley92 https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391914052 2019-10-01 14:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/391914052 evey_bradley92 https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/392453004
One wind turbine can power up to 500 homes in a short period of time. Most wind energy come from European countries  because of their favorable climate conditions. Unlike some other forms of energy, wind energy doesn't use any water to produce the energy.]]> 2019-10-02 14:09:28 UTC https://padlet.com/evey_bradley92/8gaw6127aks2/wish/392453004
