What is Wind?

There is plenty of talk about using renewable energy for example wind energy. However, if we want to harness this energy source, we must understand it. So in this video, we answer the questions: What is wind? And where does it come from?
The wind is the power that makes windmills or wind turbines spin. The amount of energy needed to move these gigantic blades is remarkable. The beauty of this is that the earth, or rather the planet’s ecosphere creates all this wind energy naturally.
What wind is, simply comes down to a perfect cycle of airflow that created wind on the earth's surface level.
Although the wind has a variable strength, its power can be used to drive these wind turbines and generate electricity.

So now you know what wind is and where it comes from.
