- Synopsis
- This page shows a windmill and a wind turbine; both images have a dashed image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up.On the left of the page, the windmill is shown face-on with its four sails radiating outward from a central axis. Further down the page are five windows, an access platform and the base of the structure, which stands on the ground at the bottom of the page. Wind turns the sails and the rotational power produced is used, among other things, to pump water or grind corn.On the right of the page is the wind turbine, which turns wind energy into electricity. The three-bladed rotor, which drives a generator, is in the centre of the image with its axis marked by a heavy texture. The whole of the rotor-generator assembly, which is pointed into the wind by a computer control system, pivots vertically on the turbine tower down the page. The tower has its deep foundations (not shown) in the ground, at the bottom of the page.
