- 1Torque and thrust are the same and interchangeable in wind turbine design
- 2Torque results from circumferential force causing rotation; thrust is axial force acting in the direction of the wind stream✓
- 3Torque cools the generator; thrust generates electrical power directly
- 4Torque controls the height of the tower; thrust determines blade material
Correct answer
Torque results from circumferential force causing rotation; thrust is axial force acting in the direction of the wind stream
