Solar Wind Power: Another Alternative
Unknown to many, wind creates energy through the help of the sun. Solar Wind power is actually solar power that has been converted to a mechanical form of energy. This energy has been used worldwide for centuries.
A wind turbine or tower is an equipment that converts energy to electricity.
The wind tower revolves when the heat from Earth’s atmosphere is dispersed in the air in patches making some of it warm and others cool. The warm air rises because cooler air pushes it upward. This movement causes the propeller of the wind tower to turn thus producing electricity that can be used in everyday living.
Wind towers are usually seen in fields and coastal areas because these are the places where wind is strong. Wind turbines come in various forms but it all has the same parts which are the propeller blade, gearbox, generator and the tower. The higher the tower, the more energy is produced. Large and light propellers also produce more electricity.
