Revalution of wind turbines
Intro
Hello my name is Daniel and i'm going to talk about wind turbines and wind power. The first electricity generating wind turbine was built in July 1887 in glasgow Scotland, by Scottish academic James Blyth. The wind turbines was battery operated but a couple months later an American invented a automatic wind turbine ( his name is Charles F Brush ). Now a days we have a lot more techonlogy that we didn't have back then so we have better wind turbines taht create more energy.
This is the first american wind turbine that creates electricity. made by Charles F Brush in 1887.
This is the first megawatt wind turbine which was made in 1941
These wind turbines are from the 20th centry
What is the impact of wind turbines on our health?
There is a lot of negative impact on our health from wind turbines... or that's what people say. For people that live near wind turbines say that they get weird health problems like....headaches, ear pressure and dizziness. People also say they get a lot of sleep disturbance and have panic episodes (panic episodes can happen while awake or asleep. some other serious health problems are nausea, visual blurring, tachycardia (which is rapid heart rate) and problem with concentration and memory. People also say they get tinnitus which is ringing in the ears.
How does wind turbines affect the economy and the enviroment?
People say that wind turbine are great for the economy because it creates a lot of jobs for Canadians like..-Project coordinators -Production managers -Wind turbine technicians -Wind turbine maintenance -Administrative and office support Wind turbines are also good for the economy because wind power is the cheapest way to make energy. Thats because wind is free, we dont have to pay for wind so all we need to pay for is the building of the wind turbines. There are lots of negative impact on the envioment as well such as bird and bat deaths. they say 20,000 to 37,000 birds die each year from wind turbines. A positave affect to the envioment is that wind turbines don't run on fuel and does not pollute the air.
