What device do you need to convert the energy of the wind into electricity?

• Wind turbines

• Propellers

• Wind mills

• The sun

The basic elements of wind turbines are:

• blades, shafts, gears and generators

• towers

• blades

• gears and blades

• A = shaft, B = gear, C = generator,

  D = wind, E = blades

• A = gears, B = shaft, C = blades,

  D = wind, E = generator

• A = generator, B = gear, C = shaft,

  D = wind, E = blades

• A = shaft, B = gear, C = generator,

  D = water, E = blades
