Wind Turbine Review
The basic form of the windmill hasn't changed since the first century. A windmill has a set of blades or slats mounted on a central axis which is designed to revolve as the slats are pushed by the wind. The axis connects to a system of gears to turn machinery which can do things like operate a millstone for the purpose of grinding grain, pumping water, or generating electricity. In my engineering class we had to build a windmill out of paper that creates a substantial amount of electricity. It was very time consuming but at the end it worked out. Wind turbines are very effective if you live in windy areas. Many people use them to create electricity to power their homes or any other electrical equipment. Wind is a renewable resource that will never go away so wind turbines benefits everyone
