Post 3: How Do Wind Turbines Work? And how Could we use them In different places?

After looking at some comment and questions, I have Decided to expand my design into being mobile, To do this I will need to dive into how wind turbines work, and what type of wind turbine would be useful for this. Wind turbines usually work on one single principle, Unlike fans, that create wind using electricity, Wind turbines make electricity using wind, there are 2 types of wind turbines in shape, Horizontal Axis Turbines, and Vertical Axis Turbines, Horizontal axis turbines are just the normal wind turbines you usually see, the turbine part of the wind turbines facing horizontally. Vertical Wind turbines are much more unique, these types of turbines were invented by a Mr. Georges Darieus, These turbines usually come in several varieties, Including the “Eggbeater” Looking Darieus Model, These Wind Turbines Work the same way Horizontal Wind turbines work, the wind moves the rotor, that turn then connects to the generator, which creates mechanical energy which in turn creates wind turbine’s ability to generate Electricity. To make These Mobile would require multiple types of these “Mobile Generators” For Ground, Sea and Air, Preferable Low atmosphere, Wind in high atmosphere can go up to 400 miles per hour, risking damage to said turbine. All terrain Wind turbines Would possibly require to be miniaturized for weight concerns, and attached to some other large vehicle, possibly a truck. Waterborne Turbines usually are extremely large, so One day re purposing Oil platforms for a more environmentally sound purpose, IE using them for maintenance of the large amounts of Offshore wind turbines and Solar Panels Would be beneficial for both the environment and the Jobs of People who work on oil platforms.

WOW! There is a lot of information here to process. I think the blog for this week which will be done in a google doc will help you. The paragraphs and spaces will help your readers take in all the terrific information. I can see why you’re proud of this.

I also understand the virtue of mobility with these alternatives, that they can be used wherever they are needed.
