  1. Wind Energy By: Taylor Esperti

  2. How Its Produced • Blades on the windmill catch the wind and the windmill turns • Windmill has an internal shaft that turns inside a generator to produce electricity • Generator produces electricity by spinning a magnet inside a coil of wires • When the magnet turns it forces electrons through the wires and electricity is generated

  3. How Its Transported • From the generator the wind's electricity goes to the power grid • The system of transmission and distribution has power lines • The power lines transport electricity to the buildings in towns and cities

  4. How Its Used • Turbines can be used to power: • homes • boats • buildings • Traffic lights • And much more
