Modern wind turbines are used to capture kinetic energy from the wind and generate electricity. This energy usually comes from farm lands and at sea. ]]> 2019-03-22 13:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ephraimchong19/j0kubb0yepmf/wish/344199538 ephraimchong19 https://padlet.com/ephraimchong19/j0kubb0yepmf/wish/344205566 Turbines are designed with optimal curvature so they can capture as much wind as possible. The blades serve to spin gears inside a gearbox. the blades turn slow around 16 RPM (revolutions per minute). The gears wind up, convert this motion into much faster rotation 1600 RPM. This powers the electrical generator. This generator produces usable power for the electrical grid, where it makes its way to local homes.  ]]> 2019-03-22 13:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ephraimchong19/j0kubb0yepmf/wish/344205566 ephraimchong19 https://padlet.com/ephraimchong19/j0kubb0yepmf/wish/344213199 1.

The U.S. is now beginning to add offshore wind turbines which can help greatly increase the amount of wind energy we receive. With longer motors and newer gearboxes being made it allowed the turbines to increase its wind capacity factor which allows to keep energy cost low by providing the most possible power.]]> 2019-03-25 14:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ephraimchong19/j0kubb0yepmf/wish/344837821 ephraimchong19 https://padlet.com/ephraimchong19/j0kubb0yepmf/wish/344845152 Availability is one factor that effects wind energy because it does cost fairly expensive to move and build since it is so big. It can effect the environment because their has been times where birds have been killed due to the wind turbines. However more countries are choosing this type of energy because it is way more efficient than solar because these systems use less energy, release less carbon dioxide and produce more overall energy. ]]> 2019-03-25 14:35:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ephraimchong19/j0kubb0yepmf/wish/344845152 ephraimchong19 https://padlet.com/ephraimchong19/j0kubb0yepmf/wish/345321584 http://kohilowind.com/kohilo-university/201-wind-energy-benefits-challenges/
