1. wind turbine

   A wind turbine is a mechanical device that converts the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy. It consists of large blades mounted on a tall tower, which rotate when blown by the wind, driving a generator to produce electricity. Wind turbines can be standalone structures supplying power to individual buildings, or grouped together in wind farms to contribute to a larger power grid. They are a renewable source of energy and do not emit greenhouse gases.

1. Wind turbine

   A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind, also called wind energy, into mechanical energy; a process known as wind power. If the mechanical energy is used to produce electricity, the device may be called a wind turbine or wind power plant. If the mechanical energy is used to drive machinery, such as for grinding grain or pumping water, the device is called a windmill or wind pump. Similarly, it may be referred to as a wind charger when used for charging batteries. The result of over a millennium of windmill development and modern engineering, today's wind turbines are manufactured in a wide range of vertical and horizontal axis types. The smallest turbines are used for applications such as battery charging or auxiliary power on boats; while large grid-connected arrays of turbines are becoming an increasingly important source of wind power-produced commercial electricity.

Examples of wind turbine in a Sentence

1. Chris Vagasky:

   That can cause what is known as self-initiated upward lightning, so the lightning occurs because you have charged at the tip of this wind turbine blade that is really close to the base of the cloud, and it’s really easy to get a connection of the electric charge.

2. Andrew Scott:

   The energy itself of tidal streams is familiar to people, it's kinetic energy, so it's not too dissimilar to something like wind, the bits of technology that generate power look not too different to a wind turbine.
