Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine
 

Wind is a clean energy, China's wind resources is very rich. Wind power is the main form of wind energy utilization. As the first, this column introduces the basic knowledge about wind turbine aerodynamics, then is the working principle and structure of horizontal axis wind turbines, whose main shaft is parallel to wind direction and with high power coefficient and mature technology; the horizontal axis wind turbine is the most widely used.

The basic part of the courseware can be used as a reference for the junior School Physics Interest Group.
