How Do Wind Turbines Work?

Every 24 hours, wind generates enough kinetic energy to produce roughly 35 times more electricity than humanity uses each day. And unlike coal or oil, this resource is totally renewed each day.

Rebecca Barthelmie and Sara Pryor dig into the science of wind turbine technology in this video animation.
