harnessing

A wind generator is properly known as a "Wind Energy Converter" and is used to convert the potential energy in the wind to another form. It can take the shape of mechanical or electrical energy.
This is how it works. When the wind blows, the rotor blade stops a percentage of the wind. That percentage is converted into energy. According to physics, the maximum amount of wind energy that can be converted is 59.3%, known as the Betz Limit.
