Wind turbines are devices that convert the wind''s kinetic energy into electrical power. The result of over a millennium of windmill development and modern engineering, today''s wind turbines are manufactured in a wide range of horizontal axis and vertical axis types. The smallest turbines are used for applications such as battery charging for auxiliary power. Slightly larger turbine
