   (b) Make notes from the following:
   Exploring wind energy through various means is a very old concept. Thousands of years ago, wind energy was used to propel ships and to produce mechanical energy for pulling up water from wells and grinding agricultural produce. There is also evidence that the ancient Egyptians used windmills as early as 3600 BC to pump water for irrigating agricultural lands and to grind grains. Wind, which is essentially air in motion, carries with it kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is converted into either mechanical or electrical energy. The mechanical uses of wind for driving ships, pumping water, grinding grains, turning the machines of the factories and doing a large variety of other tasks advanced steadily over the centuries. The harnessing of power from wind is gaining importance due to the depletion of conventional energy sources and their rising cost. Moreover, wind energy is considered to be a green power technology because of its minor impact on the environment. Systems utilizing wind energy for generation of power produce no air pollutants or greenhouse gases. Hence one of nature's renewable resources of energy, wind, can be harnessed to provide an environmentally friendly and reliable source of energy.
