Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Le vent provient à l’origine du rayonnement solaire. [...] Le soleil chauffe inégalement les masses d’air à la surface de la terre [...] Ceci provoque des flux d’air; des mouvements de circulation entre zones de température, ce phénomène s’appelle la circulation de Hadley. L’énergie cinétique provenant de cette circulation, c’est-à-dire l’énergie cinétique du vent, représente moins de 2 % de l’énergie solaire arrivant à la surface de la terre. 3, record 6, French, - %C3%A9nergie%20cin%C3%A9tique%20du%20vent
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Une éolienne est une machine qui transforme l’énergie cinétique du vent (déplacement d’une masse d’air) en énergie mécanique ou électrique. La puissance récupérable par une éolienne est fonction du carré de son diamètre et du cube de la vitesse du vent : si la vitesse du vent augmente de 10 %, l’énergie récupérable par la machine augmente de 30 %. 4, record 6, French, - %C3%A9nergie%20cin%C3%A9tique%20du%20vent
