Wind Generator Blades Are The Impetus Mechanism Behind a Wind Generator

Wind generator blades are the impetus mechanism behind a wind generator. They are large, and curved similarly to the prop blades on an airplane. Unlike a prop driven plane however, the blades on a wind generator are at the source of the power, rather than at the receiving end of the power generated by an internal combustion engine. The blades for a wind generator are typically made of a light weight metal such as aluminum. They are curved to present a better 360 degree face to the wind, which makes for a more efficient transfer of kinetic energy from the blades to the turbine itself. The crank shaft runs from a gear head to a coil/magnet system towards the rear of the generator. This efficient transfer is necessary because the higher the wind generator blades are off the ground, the more sustained wind they will encounter. The more of that energy is harnessed by the system, the better. At 1 mile above the surface, most locations see sustained winds of up to 100 miles per hour. Those prevailing winds could easily provide enough power to fuel the world's energy needs, if only they could be harnessed. Source: hoosacwind.com
