Micro Wind Quiz

What are micro wind turbines?

• Devices that convert wind energy into heat energy.

• Large-scale wind turbines used in commercial power plants.

• Small devices that generate wind for recreational purposes.

• Small-scale wind turbines that generate electricity for individual homes or businesses.

How do micro wind turbines generate electricity?

• By converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy through the use of a rotor and generator.

• By using solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity.
