As wind blows it generates kinetic energy, which is energy from movement. This turns the blades on a turbine, which then causes a shaft (drive shaft) within the system to rotate (view diagram below).
Over time, offshore wind turbines can serve as artificial reefs and in some cases can lead to more fish than there would have ...
In fact, the turbines were able to reach an efficiency of 53%, which is just shy of Betz's Law, a theorem that says no wind turbine would be able to convert more than about 59.3% of wind energy into ...
