  1. Wind Power Tya Hyde Duane Hewins, Jr.

  2. Wind power is….. • Converting wind energy to some form of energy • Example electrical energy

  3. Wind power can be used for…. • Electricity • Generating … • Water pumps • Televisions • Homes • Offices • Stores • Machines • Lights • Saving money on energy bills • Scattering plant seeds

  4. Continue…. • Making waves on lakes and seas • Drying clothes • Transportation • Hang glider • Sailboats • Hot-air ballooning • Wind surfing • Wind-skating • Turbines • Windmills

  5. How wind power is used

  6. Cost of using wind power • Commercial-scale turbines are at least $3.5 Million to be installed • Smaller/residential scale turbines • Overall lesser • More expensive per kilowatt • If its under 100 kilowatts cost about $3,000 to $5,000 per kilowatt • Which means a 10 kilowatt machine (the size needed to power an average home) might cost $35,000-$50,000.

  7. Continue….. • The government gives you some of your money back as a tax credit. • There is an installation fee • Installation costs ranges up to $12,000. • No monthly fee

  8. Wind power is easily renewed by… • Building • Turbines • Windmills • No use of fossil fuels • These are renewable because • power is generated when the wind blows • when the wind doesn't blow power is not generated.

  9. Wind Energy is gathered/created • When the sun unevenly heats up the earth. • Most of the time its by using large wind turbines

  10. Wind energy is stored by… • Battery • Compressed air

  11. Positive effects of wind power • Cheaper bills • Not polluted • Renewable • Green energy • Uses no fossil fuels • Energy self-sufficient • No carbon dioxide • No monthly fee

  12. Negative effects of wind power • isn’t a constant • Every day you may not have wind • Turbines are expensive • Noisy • Appearance • Tall • Bulky • Damages anything that gets to close • Wildlife

  13. The science be hide wind power… • Is the generation of electricity… by spinning copper wires in magnetic fields and electric power generation, that stores or transmits the power by batteries or some other type of source to transmit them to the place of use.

  14. The waste by-products of wind power • There are no waste by products in less you was to say… • Generation equipment • Manufacture • Transportation • Installation • Maintenance • Removal/Disposal

  15. Why isn't wind power widespeading • Expensiveness • Some places aren't suitable

  16. Wind power becoming easily accessible to the public • Its already accessible. • But we are just know getting more into the “Green”

  17. What Is What?The basic Structure is to have… Blade Hub Generator Gearbox Tail Tower Tail

  18. How turbines/ windmills Work? By slowing down the speed of the wind. The wind flows over blades causing them to turn. The blades are connected to a drive shaft that turns an electric generator to produce electricity.
