Emad and his father are traveling to Guilan. On the way,
in Manjeel, Emad sees huge wind turbines.
Emad: Daddy, look at those big fans!
Father: They are actually wind turbines.
Emad: Wind turbines?
Father: Yes, wind turbines are used to produce electricity from
wind power.
Emad: I know electricity can be produced from water and
sunlight. How might it be generated from wind?
Father: Well, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead
of using electricity to make wind, a turbine uses wind
to make electricity. It is a type of clean energy. 3
Emad: These wind turbines remind me of what I read about
using wind power in Yazd’s buildings. LESSON
Father: You mean wind towers?
