Wind Turbines
A wind turbine is a modern machine that converts wind energy to electrical energy. There are different types of turbines. The most common type is the horizontal-axis turbine. A modern design of this type looks like a giant airplane propeller affixed to a tower.
Fuel for Thought
Windmills convert kinetic energy to mechanical energy. Wind turbines convert kinetic energy to electricity, a potential energy, which later performs the work.
