do you seriously believe in this shit?

I've been inside them before and looked, I didn't see any electricity. It's a scam.

these dont make electricity this is just how the government creates wind
thats why theyre called wind turbines

>Wind turbines generate electricity by converting the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy, which then drives an electrical generator-Wikipedia

Fuck these things

I work with electricity everyday and I still don't know what it is. Sure I know the theory, voltage, current, resistance, the various formulas of current and everything but to me it will always remain some sort of magic.

All power plants do is spin. Nuclear energy is just boiled water spinning a turbine.

Seriously if you're flying that low to the ground, you deserve what you get. Fuck those lights.

I used to think electricity was generated and then stored into like giant batteries underground or some shit, i didnt know its all 100% on demand live use and we dont store basically any of it.

modern wind mills are a product of the peak of human mechanical engineering and gear boxes.

It's not that hard you can build one in your garden with some spare parts, it's literally just wind spinning a rotor

>burn rocks and goo that we dig up from the ground
>this somehow generates electricity
do you seriously believe in this shit?

>>82151426
You can 100% store it dumb cunt

>>82151685
>you can
Duh, but we dont. Power grids are on demand generation

>>82151270 (OP)
Does it affect the turbine? Then yes.

>>82151270 (OP)
Isnt shit spinning how you get electricity?

>>82151693
You don't because you're not prepared

>>82151454
>you can build one in your garden with some spare parts
Do you have a licence for that?

>>82151413
I just wish the lights could be angled in such a way you only see them if you're parallel or above them

>>82151431
Maybe you're talking about gas turbine

>>82151663
>burn something
>it creates energy in the form of heat (fire)
this is way more intuitive

>>82151406
Wait, nuclear power plants are nothing more than glorified steam engines?
