Wind turbines use blades to collect the wind's kinetic energy. Wind flows over the blades creating lift (similar to the effect on airplane wings), which causes the blades to turn. The driving force is combined with the effects of Earth's rotation, the Coriolis effect, and the consequences of humidity and. . Wind power or wind energy is a form of renewable energy that harnesses the power of the wind to generate electricity. Earth's atmosphere is unevenly heated by solar radiation and the air is in constant motion to find equilibrium.
