Wind turbine 風力渦輪機
Wind turbines have been called “the windmills of the third millennium”. They use air currents in order to produce a valuable resource: electricity.
風力渦輪機被稱為「第三個千年的風車」。他們利用氣流來生產寶貴的資源：電力。
What is a wind turbine?
什麼是風力渦輪機？
A wind turbine, or wind generator or wind turbine generator, is a device that converts the kinetic energy of wind (a natural and renewable source) into electricity.
風力渦輪機，或稱風力發電機或風力渦輪發電機，是一種將風（自然和再生能源）的動能轉化為電能的裝置。
Whereas a ventilator or fan uses electricity to create wind, a wind turbine does the opposite: it harnesses the wind to make electricity.
通風機或風扇使用電力產生風，而風力渦輪機則相反：它利用風來發電。
And, the taller the turbine, the stronger the wind, as there are fewer obstacles in its path.
