Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form of energy‚ such as using: wind turbines to make electricity‚ windmills for mechanical power‚ wind pumps for water pumping or drainage‚ or sails to propel ships. A large wind farm may consist of several hundred individual wind turbines which are connected to the electric power transmission network. Offshore wind farms can harness more frequent and powerful winds than are available to land-based installations and have less visual impact

Most of the world’s energy currently comes from fossil fuels such as coal‚ oil and natural gas. There are an estimated 1354 billion barrels of oil left in earth‚ and 80 million barrels of oil are consumed per day¹. According to these statistics‚ if our society keeps consuming oil at this rate‚ earth’s oil will only last 16‚925 more days‚ or 46.5 years (as of Jan. 1 2010)¹. To combat this growing issue‚ many alternative sources of energy have been developed. Popular alternative energy sources include

from the sun and wind and will not run out in the near future‚ however fossil fuels such as coal‚ oil‚ gas and peat are non renewable and will not last forever‚ and will become more expensive to extract from the earth. When fossil fuels like coal in a power station or petrol in a car is burned carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere and is leading to an increase in climate change. Wind turbine do not produce any greenhouse gases and have the potential to cut up to 1billion of the national fossil

ranches‚ and later to generate electricity for homes and industry purposes. Industrialization caused a decrease in the use of wind power‚ but also began the development of larger windmills to produce electricity. The result‚ commonly called wind turbines‚ could have been found in Denmark as early as the 1890s. Today‚ wind energy is very popular in the U.S.‚ Spain‚ Denmark‚ and India but is mostly used in Germany. Thanks to technological advances‚ wind energy is the fastest growing energy source

view the commercial and industrial consumption of oil and gas everyone is conscious to have some alternate resource for energy production. Wind is also one of the resources for the power generation. 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 wind turbine or wind power plant. If the mechanical energy is used to

Because of the problems in the environment and the availability of the samples that can solve it‚ this encouraged the researchers to invent an exhaust gas filter with coconut fibers and granular activated carbon from rice hull.
