How a Wind Turbine Works

Discover the amazing technology behind wind turbines and how they generate electricity from the wind. Starting from ancient windmills to today's advanced turbines, we explain how turbine blades capture the wind's energy to spin a rotor. Inside the turbine's housing, a gearbox increases these rotations to power a generator, which converts the motion into electricity. Sensors and controllers keep the turbine aligned with the wind and adjust blade angles for efficiency. This video breaks down how these impressive machines harness wind power to produce clean energy, helping us move towards a greener future.
