A '''wind turbine''' is a machine that converts the wind's kinetic energy into rotary mechanical energy, which is then used to do work. In twentieth first century's advanced models, the rotational energy is converted into electricity, the most versatile form of energy, by using a generator. Wind turbines with three blades spin more smoothly and are easier to balance than those with two blades. Also, while larger wind turbines produce more energy, the smaller models are less likely to undergo major mechanical failure, and thus are more economical to maintain. Many different models of wind turbines exist, the most striking being the [[Wikipedia:Darrieus wind turbine|vertical-axis Darrieus]], which is shaped like an egg beater. | A '''wind turbine''' is a machine that converts the wind's kinetic energy into rotary mechanical energy, which is then used to do work.
