The nacelle holds the generator, a gearbox, and controls for the turbines.]]> 2019-10-02 14:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/davis_white28/yoh53fflr7jy/wish/392478259 davis_white28 https://padlet.com/davis_white28/yoh53fflr7jy/wish/393032710 The first wind turbine was created by Prof. James Blyth in Scotland. He built it in his holiday cottage. After the locals saw it, James offered to build more for them. However, they turned it down as they thought electricity was "the work of the devil."]]> 2019-10-03 14:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/davis_white28/yoh53fflr7jy/wish/393032710 davis_white28 https://padlet.com/davis_white28/yoh53fflr7jy/wish/393034811 The nacelle of a wind turbine.]]> 2019-10-03 14:16:17 UTC https://padlet.com/davis_white28/yoh53fflr7jy/wish/393034811 davis_white28 https://padlet.com/davis_white28/yoh53fflr7jy/wish/393036542 Some flaws of wind energy are that wind isn't always super consistent. It could be blowing one day then completely stop for a week. They also create a lot of noise which can make people object to building a turbine near them.]]> 2019-10-03 14:18:45 UTC https://padlet.com/davis_white28/yoh53fflr7jy/wish/393036542 davis_white28 https://padlet.com/davis_white28/yoh53fflr7jy/wish/393040447 Overall, wind energy is a great prospect for future energy. After getting over a few hurdles, wind energy might be the way to go.]]> 2019-10-03 14:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/davis_white28/yoh53fflr7jy/wish/393040447
