Question

i) What type of energy is produced in this picture?
ii) What difficulties do we face in harnessing this
energy? Explain.
iii) Why do we say that this energy is better than solar
energy and atomic energy?

Answer 1

Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanical powerinto electricity to power homes, businesses, schools, and the like.
