Cut-away illustration of the internal components of a wind turbine. Wind turns the blades, which rotate a drive shaft (thick metal cylinder). The gearbox (blue, centre right) increases this low-speed rotation, turning a high-speed shaft (thin metal cylinder) that drives the turbine (blue, right) to generate electricity. Wind power is a renewable and clean source of energy for electricity production. | |
