The system has static blades in front called stator through which air passes to reach the moving blade called rotor. Air emerges from the other side slowed down; the shroud directs more fast-moving air into the structure and when it mixes with slow-moving air, a low-pressure area is created, sucking more air into the blades.

What’s more, this inexhaustible domestic resource helps break our dependency on gas and other fuels to fire our generators. Unlike oil, we can’t run out of wind. Plus there’s no geopolitical “risk premium” we have to pay… there is no OPEC breathing down our neck… no taxes or royalties we have to pay anyone. As a bonus, wind is inflation proof — once you build the plant, your energy cost is virtually fixed — no surprises from volatile fuel prices.
