gear box for wind turbine

Big wind turbines with huge blades spinning around high up in the wind — have you ever seen one of those things? And believe it or not, these wonders of human engineering are capable of generating enough power to run whole cities!! That’s a lot of energy! However there is one critical part of the wind turbine which helps it to function seamlessly and effectively. A gear box: This is the most important part and it provides the basic principle on which a wind turbine works!

Imaging a gear box is like having a puzzle piece filled in the box. This box is filled with all the gears. These fast gears keep turning the turbine's blades into faster movement. The wind turbine that performs all the spinning and turning must have a very strong gearbox, so it must be made of robust materials. When the gear box is fabricated in something weak, if it breaks, the wind turbine can not be operated again. As such, a wind turbine cannot properly function without having good quality gear box kept in it.

Understanding the Function of a Gear Box

Well, think it this way: how does a gear box work? The same way you change gear on a bike to make it easier and turn the pedals faster, gearing up in a wind turbine makes blades go round more quickly. The speed of the blades is regulated and it prevents them from spinning too fast or spinning so low. And if they spin too fast, the blades can shatter and do some serious damage. If the blades rotate too slowly, they generate so little electricity that it is virtually useless. Therefore, the gearbox is essential for making sure that blades keep turning at the proper pace.
