	A '''wind turbine''' is a single unit, which looks like an airplane propeller on top of a long stick. It transfers [[energy]] from the [[wind]] into rotational motion, which it then transforms into [[electricity]] by the use of a [[generator]]. A single [[turbine]] may be used to provide [[electricity]] to a group of houses or buildings, and [[types of wind turbines ~~for microgeneration~~\|smaller turbines]] may be used for an individual home or building.<ref name=Win>Wind Energy Technologies Office (Nov.29, 2018).
