Wouldn’t our ancestors be amazed at what is possible today using modern day wind turbines to power things they never dreamed of. But, just how does wind power work anyway. A simple explanation would be that when the wind moves the blades which are connected to the turbine which turns a shaft thats connected to a generator that produces the electricity. The generator is a very important part of the process because it stores the energy you produce for later use. You will obviously need sufficient wind in your area to power the turbine. If you don’t get a lot of wind it’s still possible though, you just may need more than one turbine. Residential wind turbines utilize clean, renewable wind energy to furnish an alternative power source for our homes. The more alternat
