How is solar and wind energy tapped?

I’m asking this so I can complete the Eco- Action Interest Prodjet and to tell people about how it cuts down on personal consumtion of nonrenewable resourses.

I can’t answer the solar but the wind turns a fan (just like a fan would make "wind") This moves copper in out of a magnticfiled giving it a current which has power.
