The Science Behind Wind Blades and How They Work

How Wind Blades Work. Wind turbine blades transform the wind''s kinetic energy into rotational energy, which is then used to produce power. The fundamental mechanics of wind turbines is straightforward: as the wind moves across the surface of the blade, it causes a difference in air pressure, with reduced pressure on the side facing the wind and greater

How a Wind Turbine Works

The pitch system adjusts the angle of the wind turbine''s blades with respect to the wind, controlling the rotor speed. By adjusting the angle of a turbine''s blades, the pitch system controls how much energy the blades can extract.
