How Do Wind Turbines Work? In short, Wind energy gets convert into mechanical energy via rotation of blades which later turns generator shaft that in turn gives out electrical energy! Well that was not too satisfactory answer for many, therefore below is in depth information about the same Since I made video on how to make wind turbine for science project (Please do check out my working model of wind turbine which is available on science projects section) many have been asking me to explain me in detail about basic theory/principle behind the working on how do wind turbines work. What are turbines? Turbine is a device which converts one form of energy into another form of energy, here specifically we are talking about wind
