How to build a windmill and how it works?
My friend and I have a science project for school and we want to build a model showing the different processes to create energy in a windmill. It shouldn’t really be that big. Also, we were looking up the process and it basically says that the wind turns the blade which is connected to some sort of drive shaft which goes to an electric generator. So, we were sort of confused on what an a drive shaft and electric generator were. In addition, if you know the process in more detail that would be a GREAT help! Thank you!
It is simple , and i will try to explain , driveshaft is the pin that holds the blades , a electric generater is like a electric engine , where you turn the blades and make power instead of using power to turn the blades .
in the back of your PC is a fan , that cools the Computer , a small 12 V engine that turns blades to make wind to keep your computer cool . ( just have a look ) it is normaly noisy so you can easly find it.
well a windmill is just like that , where the blades are slightly differend since you do not want to create wind , but you want the blades to turn the shaft that turns the generator
