Wind energy is part of renewable energies and has been used for centuries. It is the energy that is obtained through the wind.
A wind generator is a windmill. The wind moves its blades and the kinetic energy they create passes to an electric generator and is transformed into electricity. Home electric generators, or mini-wind generators, can provide electricity in homes, schools, farms, etc. They are mainly used in rural areas, although home wind energy is also becoming more widespread in buildings since their height can be used to install a wind generator.
