Animation of how a wind turbine works

How does a wind turbine work? As you can see from the illustration, wind moves across the blades and causes lift, much like an airplane wing does. Since the blades are connected to an alternator/generator/gearbox arrangement, this lift cause the blades to rotate, and in turn spin the generator. The generator then converts this rotational energy into electricity. From there, the electricity is either used directly, stored in batteries, or conditioned and put back into the power grid.

This is a very imporatnt source of information and it is very useful too,and let us develope $100 per kw system please do guide and help me by your help and support.
Thank you!
Hello,
Is there a way to get this “Animation of how a wind turbine works” onto a power point presentation for a science fair project?
My daughter is in 7th grade and this would be great to add to her power point presentation.
Thank you,
