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, windpumps for water pumping or drainage.Wind power now has the capacity to generate 430 TWh annually, which is about 2.5% of worldwide electricity usage.The total amount of economically extractable power available from the wind is considerably more than present human power use from all sources.

Visit: windturbinecarriedbywheels.weebly.com
ZERO-NOISE from gears and generators since they’re sealed underground.
SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS since the turbines are slow-moving.
DOES NOT NEED TO OCCUPY A WIDER LANDSCAPE since the turbine can be very tall.
MAY BE LOWER-COST since it can use parts of junked trucks and others.
ELUDES HURRICANE FORCE since the blades automatically close.
