NATURAL POWER SOURCES

· WIND

Wind generates electrical power by turning propeller wheels on wind generators. This is the same principal behind the child’s toy called a pinwheel. These propeller wheels in turn transfer the energy they gained to a generator. The generator generates electricity, and the electricity can be used or stored. These wind-generating towers are generally 20 feet tall and they must be out of the way of tall buildings or mountains that obstruct the wind.
