How do wind turbines work? | Rebecca J. Barthelmie and Sara C. Pryor | TED-Ed Animation

This TED-Ed animation, “How do wind turbines work?” gives viewers a chance to learn more about sustainability, sustainable energy and alternative energy solutions. Is it possible to create a world powered entirely by wind? 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 renewed each day. In this video, Rebecca J. Barthelmie and Sara C. Pryor dig into the science of wind turbine technology to help viewers learn more about how we can harness the power of nature to increase our renewable energy sources and help promote sustainability and climate.

This animated video is directed by Gavin Edwards (Movult), narrated by Alexandra Panzer and features music by Stephen LaRosa.
