2. Introduction
The wind turbine is pushed by the wind and so
converts kinetic energy, or energy of
movement into electric energy.

3. How Does the Generator Work?
Step 1:
When the turbine spins electromagnets start to
move around.

4. How Does the Generator Work?
 Step 2:
 The electromagnets move creating a moving
magnetic field.
Electromagnetic field-------->

5. How Does the Generator Work?
Step 3:
The magnetic field excites electrons in a nearby
copper wire creating electricity.

6.  Electromagnets are the reason people have
this marvelous renewable energy source.
