Diary of a wind turbine!
1 of November 2013
Today wind turbines are competing against each other to create the most electricity in a week. Inside the nacelle is a generator which produces electricity. The base of the turbine weighs 600 tonnes. The towers weigh 120 tonnes.

Wind turbines work with 3 blades that catch the wind. It turns a shaft that is connected to a gear box which make electricity. There are more than 300 steps to the top of the tower! It is very scary being 68 metres off the ground.
