Wind farms are collections of wind turbines used to generate electricity.
They are generators, fitted with 3 bladed propellers, each the size of a 767 wing.
Mounted on towers about 70 metres tall, the turbines are situated in areas of consistent wind and each turbine generates about 200kW.

Wind farms try to collect the energy of strong winds and use it for generation of electricity, pumping of water, grinding of corn etc. Wind farms contain one or more windmills at a place. They are located at many places including India.

They are collections of tall wind mills located together on ridges in locations where there is a high average wind to drive them to produce power. Right now favorite spots are in the West Texas Panhandle and California near San Francisco. People also trying to put them in sea off Cape Cod. Have also been built along sea shore in Norway, etc.
