WIND ENERGY {RES-300A}
The conversion of environmental resources like wind energy is a worldwide quest to saving our natural resources. This eco-friendly alternative to generating electricity has increased in use fivefold globally between 2000 and 2007 according to Global Wind Energy Council News.
Wind energy captured by wind turbines connected to electrical grids can provide electricity to both heavily populated areas and isolated locations. Wind energy can also be used to generate mechanical energy for pumping water and other applications.
Wind energy is a renewable energy that is plentiful, clean and widely distributed. This Heathkit Educational Systems Renewable Energy course introduces students to the principles of wind power. Through a series of hands-on experiments, students will learn the fundamentals and applications of this renewable energy, and how it fits in today’s real world.
