What is Wind Power? Wind power is generated with the help of wind turbines. These turbines use the kinetic energy of wind to create mechanical energy. The mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. Wind power is a renewable and free resource. It is the cleanest source of energy. The most natural element of nature…
The renewable energy created by organic matter like plant and animal is called Biomass. Biomass is sustainable energy that is used to generate electricity and other forms of power. Biomass is something that you come across in your daily life. When you use your fireplace you burn wood which is a biomass fuel. In this…
What is Hydrokinetic Energy? Hydrokinetic Energy can also be understood as underwater windmills. It uses the force of moving water to generate electricity. The current of the water powers the electrical generators and converts the kinetic energy of the tide into electrical energy. Unlike traditional dams, hydrokinetic energy projects do not obstruct the water flow….
