WIND POWER AS A RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form of energy, such as using wind turbines to make electricity, wind mills for mechanical power, wind pumps for pumping water or drainage, or sails to propel ships. Humans have been using wind power for at least 5,500 years to propel sailboats and sailing ships, and architects have used wind-driven natural ventilation in buildings since similarly ancient times. Windmills have been used for irrigation

Energy Solutions for the State of Arkansas Energy, currently we have renewable and non-renewable energy sources available to us. Examples of renewable energies are solar and wind. Non-renewable energy sources are nuclear, coal, oil and natural gas. As most homes and businesses are currently using non-renewable energy sources, we need an energy solution. How can we protect our earth for future generations? We need to use energy more efficiently and only use what we need. We need a sound energy

would be a very slow process, the atmosphere and the wallets of every American family would benefit from the change. Wind energy, unlike fossil fuels, is available through wind turbines. These tall towers with huge blades move in a circular motion where they capture wind in between the blades. The blades in a turbine are connected to a shaft inside and this only has 18 rpm (rotation per minute), which is nowhere near enough to create electricity for homes. So because of this the shaft is connected

Natural Resources and Energy Paper Robert Huitt, Rocharda Carter, Roxabel Perez Garcia, Salatethia Thomas, and Stephanie Lowe SCI 256 William Okrepkie April 13, 2015 Large open areas of grass or plants that are similar to grass are considered to be grasslands. The majority of time trees are not found in grasslands because grasslands tend to be too dry in an environment. Rainfall is the primary source of water, and the absorption occurs through the roots of the grass. The roots

some inventions were very successful like the cast-iron gearing which brought all wood construction to an end. Since they were always looking for more efficient ways this also brought to people inventing turbines and even windmills. Even now a days small companies use water wheels instead of turbines because they are more affordable and the payback is greater. They are also very affordable to maintain. If it wasn’t for this early machine that started it all maybe we wouldn’t have evolved so fast in
