Wind PowerTya Hyde Duane Hewins, Jr.
Wind power is…..Converting wind energy to some
form of energy
Example electrical energy
Wind power can be used for….Electricity Generating …
Water pumpsTelevisionsHomes OfficesStoresMachinesLights
Saving money on energy bills Scattering plant seeds
Continue….Making waves on lakes and seasDrying clothesTransportation
Hang gliderSailboats Hot-air ballooningWind surfingWind-skating
TurbinesWindmills
How wind power is used
Cost of using wind powerCommercial-scale turbines are at least $3.5
Million to be installedSmaller/residential scale turbines
Overall lesserMore 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.
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
Wind power is easily renewed by…
Building TurbinesWindmills
No use of fossil fuels These are renewable because
power is generated when the wind blowswhen the wind doesn't blow power is not
generated.
Wind Energy is gathered/created When the sun unevenly heats up the earth.
Most of the time its by using large wind turbines
Wind energy is stored by… Battery
Compressed air
Positive effects of wind power Cheaper billsNot polluted Renewable Green energyUses no fossil fuels Energy self-sufficientNo carbon dioxideNo monthly fee
Negative effects of wind power isn’t a constant
Every day you may not have windTurbines are expensiveNoisyAppearance

Damages anything that gets to closeWildlife
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.
The waste by-products of wind powerThere are no waste by products in less you
was to say…Generation equipment
Manufacture Transportation Installation Maintenance Removal/Disposal
Why isn't wind power widespeading
ExpensivenessSome places aren't suitable
Wind power becoming easily accessible to the public
Its already accessible.But we are just know getting more into
the “Green”
What Is What?The basic Structure is to have…1. Blade2. Hub3. Generator4. Gearbox5. Tail6. Tower
Tail
1. By slowing down the speed of the wind.
2. The wind flows over blades causing them to turn.
3. The blades are connected to a drive shaft that turns an electric generator to produce electricity.
