Making wind power

Using the wind as a source of energy could have some great impact on reducing the over dependence on non-renewable energy but unfortunately wind power  generating systems have not seen too much technological advancement to make a regular power source. But I am not here to discourage you though, because the concept of harnessing the energy from the wind is picking up.

In this article you will learn why wind energy, if properly harnessed can be a very important energy source. You will also discover some tips on making power from the energy possessed by moving air and the uses of wind power.

Why Is Power From The Wind So Important?
With the rising cost and demand for energy that is fossil fuel based, so many people the world over are looking for cheaper energy alternative sources. One of such alternative energy source is the wind. Reasons why wind energy is a sure candidate for being an alternative energy source is because:

• Wind Energy Is Free – Nobody will ask you to pay for using wind energy, if the ask for payment then they might as well ask you to pay for the air you breath.
• The wind power makes use of wind energy which is absolutely free, thus saving the non-renewable sources of energy for longer.
• Wind Energy Causes No Noticeable Environmental Hazards: Except your wind turbine is placed so high that it may interfere with flying vehicles or high tension cables, it won’t cause any harm to your environment. 
• The Wind Power Generation Process does not eliminate any known harmful gasses.
• Since the source of energy used by Wind Turbines is free, using Wind Turbines is cost effective. If you use a wind power generating system to replace your regular electricity supply, then you do not have to worry about high electricity bills. 
• Wind Power can make it possible to have uninterrupted power supply.
• Using Wind Power Generating Systems gives you a feeling of independence.

How Do I Make Power From The Wind?
In order to make power from the wind, a wind turbine is employed to do the energy conversion to a suitable form for our consumption. When we talk about turbines I want you to realize the fact that there are different kinds of turbines but a wind turbine is simply a turbine with blades that are rotated by the wind to generate electricity. Wind turbines convert mechanical energy into magnetic energy, and then finally into electrical energy with the aid of a generator.  A wind turbine normally consists of blades, a tower, a shaft, a base, and a generator.

Uses Of Wind Power:
Power from the wind can be used to accomplish so many useful tasks. Examples of some tasks that can be done using wind power include:

• It can be used as a source of electricity to power home or office appliances.
• It can be used to pump out/fetch water from wells
• Wind power can be used for grain grinding. Etc.
