The Wind Turbine A wind turbine powers anything that uses electricity. A wind turbine powers anything that uses electricity. A wind turbine works by wind moving rapidly, which moves its propellers to produce electricity. A wind turbine works by wind moving rapidly, which moves its propellers to produce electricity. The wind turbine makes approximately 13 kilowatts in the summer on a daily basis. The wind turbine makes approximately 13 kilowatts in the summer on a daily basis. In the winter approximately 8 kilowatts is produced on a daily basis. In the winter approximately 8 kilowatts is produced on a daily basis.

Solutions We can always make wind turbines better by making sure they are in proper places, for instance in a place where there are no tall houses or buildings. We can always make wind turbines better by making sure they are in proper places, for instance in a place where there are no tall houses or buildings. The wind turbine can be efficient if it is placed properly. For example, a wind turbine should not be placed in a forest where there is not much wind.
