What is climate change?

200

This is made of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen

What is air?

200

This is known as moving energy.

What is Kinetic Energy?

200

A word that describes the “pressure” that pushes electricity.

What is voltage?

200

The cover that holds the generator, gearbox, drivetrain, and brake assembly. 

What is the Nacelle?

200

The term for a renewable energy source that uses the sun to produce electricity.

What is solar energy?

300

The force of air molecules

What is air pressure?

300

This means stored energy such as a yo-yo before it is released

What is Potential Energy?

300

The one-word term for “electrical current,” which is measured in amperes.

What is Amperage?

300

The abbreviation that means Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine.

What is HAWT?

300

Found in neighborhoods, these are instrumental in regulating voltage levels, ensuring safety and efficiency as electricity is sent to homes.

What is a transformer? 

400

What is work?

500

Used to move electricity from power plants to homes and businesses.

What are transmission lines?

500

A device on a wind turbine that converts motion-based power (potential and kinetic energy) into electricity.

What is a generator?
