Can wind energy really only be used to generate electricity?

As soon as I woke up today, I was blown away by the strong north wind outside and started to doubt my life. Everyone in the circle of friends complained about this evil weather. When I talked about it with my best friends, they all sighed deeply, and it started in the blink of an eye. He complained that wind energy was useless except for generating electricity and could harm people at every turn. His colleagues gathered around him and held a unique wind energy discussion. When it comes to wind energy, the first thing that comes to mind is windmills.

The Netherlands is known as the country of windmills. Various windmills with different styles and sizes are located in the Netherlands. However, the windmills in the Netherlands are not for decoration or to generate electricity. They are It is to extract water power. They use this water power to irrigate crops, drink it themselves, or to drain floods and fight disasters. In fact, these are also very common in China. For example, the ancient wind-powered waterwheels were the earliest uses of wind energy.

In addition to providing water conservancy, one of the biggest uses of wind energy is for sailing. In ancient times, when we didn't have steam or fuel, what did the ancients rely on to sail? Of course, it depends on the wind. The wind blows and pushes the sails, driving the ship forward rapidly. In order to sail more smoothly, ancient navigators would have a little bit of astronomical knowledge and natural science to know the direction of the wind. , using wind energy is a required course.

Wind energy actually has a very good benefit that is all around us, but we have never discovered it. The advantage of this is that it promotes the circulation of pollutants and makes our sky cleaner. Whether it is haze, dust, sand and gravel, these are very annoying. The coming wind will drive them away from you. Well, some cities are low-lying, and pollutants will naturally accumulate in large quantities in that place. At this time, a gust of wind can become a life-saving straw.

In addition, the gentle breeze will also have a good effect on relieving people's depressed mood.
