The windmill (wind turbine):

When the blowing __________ strikes across the __________ of a windmill, it exerts a force on them due to which the

blades of the windmill start _____________. This in turn rotates the shaft of the turbine and ___________ ___________.

Wind turbines are used to __________ electricity. The machines that generate electricity are the most conventional type

with airfoil _____________ employing two to three tapered blades. Electricity can be produced by rotating an armature in

between the poles of a strong ______________. The shaft of the armature of a generator is connected to the wind turbine

by a connecting ________. When the wind rotates the blades of the wind turbine, the shaft rotates, and this in turn rotates

the armature, thereby producing electricity.

Fill in the blanks thanks to the following words: propeller rod generates wind magnet blades

Hydroelectric power
Fill in the blanks thanks to the following words:
renewable dams to release potential to generate water to pollute energy to convert to produce
to connect to turn

Electricity is produced by converting the ___________ energy of __________ (from a height) into the kinetic

__________ of flowing water. Hydroelectricity or hydroelectric power is produced, when large quantities of

water stored in __________ at a suitable height, are __________ to fall from a height. A dynamo is connected

to a waterwheel or turbine and the kinetic energy of the flow of water turns this wheel, there by ____________

hydroelectric power. Hydroelectric power is a non-__________ and ____________ source of energy.
