Solution

  1. The given diagram is a schematic of a wind mill, specifically illustrating the components such as the blades, shaft, gearbox, generator, bearing, and support structure
  2. The source of energy in this project is wind. The blades capture the wind's kinetic energy, which is then converted into mechanical energy through the rotation of the shaft connected to the gearbox and generator.
  3. This source is eco-friendly because it is renewable and does not produce harmful emissions or pollutants during electricity generation.
