Wind is an unlimited resource and can be used as a clean and renewable energy source.
Wind power plants were first built in 1887 in Scotland.
Modern wind turbines have a height of about 60-80 meters, with a propeller with a diameter of 40-90 meters.
Although the wind continues to move, the speed varies all the time depending on many factors such as geographical location, time and weather.
Wind energy can be used to produce electricity, pump water, move the engine, and more.
The United States is currently a country with the largest capacity of wind turbine installation in the world.
Although the wind turbine looks slow to rotate, the propeller can reach speeds of up to 320 kilometers per hour.
Wind turbines can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the cost of traditional electrical energy use.
Wind energy collection technology continues to develop, including the use of offshore wind turbines and vertical wind turbines.
The existence of wind turbines can affect the life of wildlife, such as birds and bats, but new technology continues to be developed to reduce the negative impact.
