Horizontal-axis wind turbine

A horizontal-axis wind turbine is a device that converts wind energy into electricity. It has blades mounted on a rotor that spins around a horizontal shaft, similar to a large windmill. When the wind blows, it pushes the blades, causing the rotor to turn. This rotational motion drives a generator that produces electrical power. These turbines are common because they are efficient at capturing wind energy and are typically installed on tall towers to access stronger winds. They are widely used in wind farms to produce clean, renewable electricity for homes and industries.
