Wind Turbines

Simply stated, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. For LMC these small turbines could easily be accommodated at any of the Colleges existing buildings.
