Wind Turbine

A wind turbine is a device that converts the kinetic energy of wind into electrical power. It consists of blades mounted on a tall tower; when wind blows, it causes the blades to spin. This rotational energy is transferred to a generator inside the turbine, which then produces electricity. Wind turbines are a renewable energy source, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions. They are typically installed in open, windy areas like plains, coastlines, or offshore locations to maximize energy capture efficiently.
