Does anyone know anything about wind energy?

   Wind energy will be one of many sources of energy in the future and on a broader scale.

   Wind speed is measured (in knots) by the Beaufort Scale.

   Renewable Energy – the most reliable source of renewable energy is water power, most especially tidal water power.

   Here in London in Roman times and right into the early Industrial Revolution of the 18thC there were dozens of tide mills along the banks of the River Thames.
   How did they work. A simple mechanism which allowed a massive wheel or set of wheels to rotate in the direction of the tidal flow and then to reverse as the tide in the River Thames changed direction. So efficient were these tide mills, that one, which still survives today, could be in continuous production of power to drive flour mill machinery for up to 16 hours per day.

   Medieval tide mill found at Greenwich – where I live.

   There is still one surviving windmill here in London, it dates from about 1800 and is at Brixton.

   resources may get exhausted one day because they are limited n are used exclusively
   so ,wind energy is one of the conventional source of energy to overcome this problem
   wind energy is used to generate electricity
   wind energy is an eco friendly and efficient souce of renewable energy
   it requires no recurring expences for the production of electricity
   establishment of wind energy farms require large area of land which is a limitation
   the wind speed should also be higher than 15 km/hr to maintain the required speed of the turbine

   to generate electricity,the rotatory motion of the windmill is used to yurn the turbine of the electric generator

   hope ur project goes well
   all the best
