  2. Wind Energy The source of Wind Power is…

  3. How Wind Energy Works The uneven heating of the land and water causes wind. When the wind comes into contact with the blades of the turbine it converts the wind into energy by turning the blade. As the blades turn the generator at the top of the turbine creates energy.

  4. Pro’s Con’s • Some of the energy changes into a form that is not used at the time such as heat energy • Makes a new form of clean electricity • Not all of the wind cannot be converted into energy • Wind Mills can only be used in windy parts of the world, not cities.

  5. Video on Wind Energy http://player.discoveryeducation.com/index.cfm?guidAssetId=DD1EB4C3-2A26-4053-B591-6F672F291320

  6. Looking for more information? This website shows you a diagram of a wind mill and its working parts click here. Link to Outside Website The Darrieus wind turbines have the advantage of working no matter what direction the wind is blowing.

  7. Extra Facts European windmill dates to 1105 in France, the home of most of the early crusaders. A similar reference is made to a windmill in England in 1180. Both of these windmills were built to pump water to drain land.

  8. Extra Facts The Darrieus wind turbines have the advantage of working no matter what direction the wind is blowing.

  9. Extra Facts When these turbines become operational, combined with existing facilities, the aim is to harness enough wind energy to power the United Kingdom by the year 2020.
