Wind+Power

= Gone with the Wind = By: Cara Najjar and Daniel Lehman

wind turbine - Makes electricity, main source of wind power. anemometer - measures wind speed. rotor - the rotation of a mechanical device. (ex. wind mill) fantail - small wheel on a windmill that keeps the main sails facing wind. [2]
 * VOCABULARY TERMS**

1. Wind turns wind turbine rotors 2. The rotation of the turbine rotors turns the transmission. 3. The transmission turns the generator. The generator is filled with many magnets surrounded by a metal coil. the magnets get shaken 4.When the magnets move around through the coil, it makes an electrical current. the electrical current goes through a wire and goes to houses. [3]
 * WAY OF CREATING WIND ENERGY**

- A wind turbine's blades collect the wind's kinetic energy. There is lift created when the wind goes over the blades, and then they turn. The drive shaft is connected to the blades. An electric generator is turned and produces electricity. - the sum of energy put into wind turbine and the remaining energy in **** the air equal the energy in the wind before it entered the turbine.

__Advantages of Wind Energy__ Wind is comes frequently and is easy to capture Once turbine is built it does not make any pollutants Wind turbines do not take up much space on earths surface Remote areas that are not connected to the main power system can easily get power [1] __Disadvantages of Wind Energy__ Wind turbines make a lot of noise, about as much as a family car Wind farms take a lot of space and are usually on nice countrysides. they destroy nice countrysides When wind turbines are being made they make pollutants, so they are not 100% eco-friendly [1] media type="youtube" key="8NAAzBArYdw" height="405" width="660"
