Wind Mill
2. Identify one technical innovative design you would like to investigate?
Wind Mills
3. List the advantages of your technical innovative design?
• Wind power is a clean fuel source
• Wind power is sustainable
• It is very cost effective
• Wind turbines are being built on farms and ranches
• Wind energy can create jobs
4. List disadvantages of your technical innovative design.
• Noise disturbances
• Threat to wildlife
• Wind can never be predicted
• Suited to particular regions
• Visual impact
• Safety concerns
5. When was the technical innovation designed, and or invented?
People have been using wind power since the ancient times. Peoples use wind power on the river Nile in 200 B.C., in china simple windmills were used to pum water, and vertical axis windmills with read sails were grind …show more content…
They had to find alternative energy sources, paving the way to re-entry of wind turbines to generate energy. Know wind turbines are used to generate electricity to power a city or charge a small battery.
6. List the problems this technical innovative design solves?
The problem that wind turbines solved is that when we create energy from wind turbines they do not burn fossil fuel. This is good for the environment because it is pollution free, also one wind turbine is sufficient to power one house. They are good because they do not pollute the air, and are renewable, they do not create fossil fuels, greenhouse gases, or radioactive or toxic waste.
7. List the how the technical innovative design operates?
Wind turbines are the opposite of fans, they create energy rather than use it. The wind turns the blades, which then spin a shaft, that then connects to a generator and that make the electricity
