Page 54: Check It Out: Harnessing Nature's Power
CHECK IT OUT Learning From Nature Humans aren’t the only ones who have been using the wind for transportation — plants and animals have used wind power to get around for millions of years. Think of birds that can glide through the air for hours on end, barely flapping their wings to stay in flight. - Page 55 Check It Out Modern wind turbines use generators to produce electricity. The blades of the wind turbine are set in motion by the wind and drive the generator. This principle has been used in windmills for centuries. The only difference is that the windmills do not drive electric generators, but rather millstones, which turn grain into flour.
