Question

What type of alternative energy do wind turbines use?

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 power into electricity to power homes, businesses, schools, and the like.

Answer 2

Turbine :

Turbine converts Wind energy to Kinectic Energy

• A wind turbine captures the wind, which then produces a renewable energy source.

• The wind makes the rotor spin; as the rotor spins, the movement of the blades drives a generator that creates energy.

• The motion of the blades turning is kinetic energy. It is this power that we convert into electricity.
