The best place to learn about wind energy is to visit the DOE web site http://www.eere.energy.gov .   This site will provide you tons of information on wind, solar, biomass, geothermal forms of renewable energy.  Also visit the National Renewable Energy Laboratory web site at http://www.nrel.gov

    for excellent information on wind and other renewable energy technologies.


  2. By turning a generator.

    3 friction is built

    4 it is converted to energy!

  4. when you convert it

  5. The wind turns a wind turbine, just like the kind you see on top of silos.  The turbine then turns a crankshaft, that is connected to a power generator.

    The power generator is what creates electricity by turning magnets inside of copper wires.
