Wind Energy

In our world, energy is an important part of human life. To be able to perform tasks efficiently, people need energy such as the definition the ability to do work. Work itself has many forms such as physical and mental work. Energy also has many forms and kinds. Energy can also be harness from many things in many different ways. From the sun, the sky, the water and the earth, energy can be found, harnessed and used everywhere. Though energy can be found anywhere, the use of such energies is limited. Though it is not the energies that are depleting but the materials used to harness such energies. When electric energy was still not in use, people use raw human energy to work machines and mechanisms. As of today, it is still being used and is considered to be the most expensive form of energy as it cost a human’s own life energies (Brown, 1978). So in order to lessen the risk of losing human energy, people have created more simple machines that would help them improve their way of life. Like humans, machines also need energy to perform work. The only difference is that people let the machines do the work …show more content…
It had helped people throughout history to come up with inventions up to the present day. The first use of wind energy was in the Before Christ Era. People harness the power of energy for crushing and milling their wheat and other grains by powering their mechanisms. The method used is quite similar with windmills of today. Another utilization of wind energy throughout history was through ships and other water vessels. They use the power of the wind to move them across the waters and steer their ships. During that age, wind is very important to people since ships carry out important goods that need to be transported and sold (Priest, 1984). Going back to the present, wind energy is still being utilized. People use the power of the wind to mostly generate
