Since the sun heats surfaces at uneven rates it forms pockets of hot air, and that hot air then rises up and this forces cooler air to rush in to fill the gap. This rushing wind is what creates the power to generate the electricity.

Blades are one of the most important pieces of the equation. Today turbines use blades that are horizontal, and …
