There are 2 types of wind turbines, a drag type which has a high torque but slow turning speed and a lift type which, because of the blade design, creates a lot of air pressure and is spun much faster. Because of the lift type being able to spin faster, they are more often used for creating large amounts of energy at a time. Wind turbines are similar to coal power because as the wind rotates the blade, the axle of the blade rotates a generator similar to the one inside of the coal plant. The blades rotate a large magnet in the center of copper wires and the current is harnessed from it. The mechanical energy is changed to electrical and then goes on the same sort of path that the coal plant does, into a transformer to up the voltage and finally back down when reaching a house or neighborhood, however this time with no
