WIND ENERGY BY TODOR AND ZACH D

THE HISTORY OF WIND ENERGY The first wind mill Wind power has been used as long as humans have put sails into the wind. Wind-powered machines was used to ground grain and pump water. Wind-powered pumps drained the polders of the Netherlands, and in arid regions such as the American mid-west or the Australian outback, wind pumps provided water for live stock and steam engines. A wind turbine is as loud as 105% lawn mover, 90% blender, 80% vacuum, 50% micro wave and 40% refrigerator Wind power doubled from but non- reusable power only increased by 12% 9Fts

HOW WIND ENERGY WORKS Wind energy works by wind turbines that turn a motor to create energy. Turbine blades can swivel to speed up, to slow down or to stop. The turbine can rotate depending where the wind is blowing most.

GOOD THINGS ABOUT WIND POWER Wind power is going to be here as long as man lives on earth. 1.Wind is a renewable energy source. 2.It’s a clean power source. 3.Small turbines are used to power boats, traffic lights and batteries

THE BAD THINGS ABOUT WIND ENERGY 1.This takes up land and resources 2.Wind turbines make a lot of NOSIE 3.Birds crash into the blades and can die 4.They can damage the environment 5.They can shut down and stop producing energy
