As the blades of a wind turbine turn, the kinetic
energy of the wind is converted into
mechanical energy, which is
transmitted through a drive shaft to an electrical generator in the nacelle.

Energy production relies on mechanical engineers to design, build and maintain structures and systems that collect, contain and transmit vast amounts of energy, from wind turbine blades, gearboxes and towers to high pressure boilers and nuclear reactors.&
