A wind turbine works in exactly the opposite way to a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, turbines use the wind to make electricity.
Almost all wind turbines producing electricity consist of rotor blades which rotate around a horizontal hub. The hub is connected to a gearbox and generator, which are located inside the nacelle. The nacelle is the large part at the top of the tower where all the electrical components are located.
Wind turbines in conjunction with electric boilers have been used to provide a heat source for Nu-Heat warm water underfloor heating systems. In principle, the wind turbines generate a local source of electricity, which in turn powers an electric boiler that provides a source of hot water. However, when the wind stops blowing, electricity may need to be provided by other sources.
