    Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy using propeller-like blades connected to a generator. America's first offshore wind farm, Cape Wind Offshore Wind Farm, will have 130 wind turbines off Cape Cod, Massachusetts that can power up to 500,000 households. While wind turbines can negatively impact flying wildlife and cause noise complaints, they provide clean, affordable electricity without pollution.

    Wind turbines is a machine that converts wind energy into kinetic energy which eventually gets converted into electric energy.

    Ho

    Wind turbines operate on a simple principle. The energy in the wind turns two or three propellerlike blades around a rotor. The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity.

    America's first offshore wind farm

    America's first offshore wind farm will also be one of the world's largest. With its 130 offshore wind turbines, each with a 3.6 megawatt capacity, Cape Wind Offshore Wind Farm will be situated off Cape Cod in the state of Massachusetts on the US east coast. When completed, the turbines will be able to produce electrical power for up to 500,000 households.

    Negative things about wind turbines

    First of all wild life that can fly like birds can die. Second of all people that lives near to wind turbines complain about the noise.

    Positive things about wind turbines


    It doesn't pollute the world It cost less money than normal electricity
