celebrated on our planet
World Wind Day
(Global Wind Day). The initiators of the creation of such an unusual holiday at first glance were the European Wind Energy Association and the World Wind Energy Council. The purpose of it is to attract the attention of the public (primarily representatives of energy complexes in different countries) to the enormous potential of wind energy.
According to experts, the development of wind energy will help solve a large number of problems not only of an energy, but also an economic and environmental nature. In particular, active work in this direction could lead to a reduction in the huge amounts that are annually invested in the energy sector. As a result, the problem of limited fossil fuel resources will not be so acute, the world will be able to overcome the crisis global change
climate.“Wind power plants are the future!”
, experts say. Many countries understand this now. Despite the doubts of skeptics who consider “taming the wind” a futile undertaking, wind power plants (WPPs) today operate successfully in almost 80 countries around the world, and thousands of people are involved in the production of energy from wind. The main leaders in terms of power of wind turbines put into operation in this moment
are China, USA, Germany and Spain. |
According to experts: wind power plants are the future (Photo: globalwindday.org) The organizers of Wind Day emphasize that the main objectives of the holiday include introducing wind energy to the general public. People are shown in practice how wind energy is generated. On June 15, thousands of events are held in many countries around the world. various events
, during which excursions to wind farms and meetings with experts are organized for the population, lectures and seminars are held on the topic “Wind - an alternative source of energy.” Wind Day was first celebrated in Europe in 2007. Every year their number is growing rapidly. True, Russia, unfortunately, is not yet one of these countries: there are no events at the official level, dedicated to the Day wind, is not carried out in our country. But big things start from small things. What prevents each of us from celebrating this unusual day on our own: for example, going with friends to fly kites, using free and powerful wind energy for this fun activity?

Since ancient times, people have treated with fear and reverence natural disaster, endowed natural phenomena with character, gave them names, organized festivals in their honor and made sacrifices. Later, when science dispelled this awe and many mysteries and phenomena environment no longer became something mysterious and inexplicable, man gradually began to learn to use the energy of the elements for his own benefit.
One source of such energy is wind. Humanity has experienced it countless times destructive force, but at the same time, the wind can also be life-saving, light, gentle... And most importantly, it can be useful to people.
It is intended to popularize the idea of using wind energy and to attract the attention of the general public to the potential of this industry. Global Wind Day, which is celebrated annually on June 15th.
The history of the Wind Day holiday
This holiday was established by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA), whose members are 50 countries, and World Council on wind energy (GWEC).
The first celebration took place on June 15, 2007. And just two years later, in 2009, the holiday was recognized worldwide and gained popularity in more than 30 countries around the world.
Today, when the problem of exhaustion natural resources is more acute than ever, and humanity is developing alternative energy sources, wind energy as an industry is especially relevant. And the celebration of World Wind Day in this sense takes on even more higher value, as it helps to draw the attention of the planet’s inhabitants to the inexhaustible potential of wind energy and the need to develop this industry in all countries of the world.
Traditions of celebrating World Wind Day
Since World Wind Day is a fairly young holiday, there are still few established traditions in its celebration. Considering that the main idea is to promote and popularize wind energy, the celebration process is built around this.
People are introduced to where wind energy comes from, how it is used and serves people.
For this purpose, the organizers and participants of the celebrations in different countries conduct excursions to wind farms, show and explain the operating principles of wind turbines, organize conferences, seminars and meetings with scientists and experts.
In 2014, in celebration world day winds, more than 40 countries took part, 230 different events and initiatives were held, including educational programs, courses and even art exhibitions.
Interesting Facts related to wind
1. B different eras the peoples of the world proclaimed wind deity and they honored him, hoping to be protected from the destruction caused by his anger.
In ancient mythology, there were three wind brothers - Boreas (god north wind), Zephyr (deity west wind) and Not (god of the south wind).
IN Slavic mythology the god of the wind and one of the supreme gods was Stribog.
The Sumerians worshiped the deity Enlil, whose name means “Lord of the Wind.”
The ancient Chinese Feng-Po, the god of the wind, was revered as “the mouth and tongue of Heaven.”
In Hinduism, the wind is Vayu, the breath of the universe, the ruler of the world located “between heaven and earth.”
2. The wind is so different, its characteristics depend on speed, strength, duration, the territory over which it sweeps, a person’s attitude towards it and many other factors. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are more than a thousand names for winds (both scientific and folk): abaza, abrego, aval, azovets, aluston, arv, Indian wind, barguznik, belat, burku, garbi, rotten wind, dolevik, etc.
3. The wind can be not only a helper or a pest, but also a record holder.
The strongest wind over the Earth's surface, whose speed can be 450 km/h, can be observed at an altitude of 8-60 km above sea level. And on the surface of the Earth, the record holder for strength and duration is the wind blowing in Commonwealth Bay, Antarctica (250 km/h). It is thanks to the tireless and strong winds that this area has gained fame as the windiest territory on the globe.
Most strong impulse wind recorded on April 10, 1996 during the passage of Cyclone Olivia in the Australian Barrow Island. Its speed was 408 km/h.
Most strong tornado by wind speed was recorded on April 2, 1958 in the USA in the state of Texas (the town of Wichita Falls). For its incredible speed of 450 km/h, the tornado was included in the Guinness Book of Records.
The most strong winds V solar system - on the planet Neptune. Their speed can reach 2,200 km/h. A " sunny wind"(flow of super-ionized particles in space) has a speed of 300 to 600 km/sec.
One of the awards"For the stupidest inventedand I" received a device called “passive wiper”. It was assumed that the windshield wipers would clean the side mirrors of the car, moving solely with the help of wind, but this turned out to be impossible.
4. A lot interesting events and even funny ones cases related to wind, occurs in nature and even occurs in everyday life.
Aborigines of the archipelago Tierra del Fuego wear clothes only on the side of the body on which the wind blows.
In the twenties of the last century in Tennessee there was unexplained case. A tornado blew away the roof and walls of the house of one of the farmers. At the same time, the family, who was at the dinner table at that moment, remained unharmed.
And one day the wind literally saved a man. When US resident Elvita Adams decided to take her own life and climbed to the 86th floor of the famous Empire State Building, a strong gust of wind at the moment of her jump carried the woman to the ledge of the 85th floor. Mrs. Adams escaped with a broken hip.
Emperor penguins are the only fauna that can breed when it blows. hurricane wind, because they raise their offspring in Antarctica, where the wind constantly roars and the temperature is minus 60.
The wind blows everywhere, it can bring disasters or be a source of useful energy. His strength is measured, signs are made about him and poetry is written. The emergence of such a holiday as World Wind Day is evidence that man has overcome his primitive fear of this dangerous element and learned to use it for creation.

The songs and drunken hubbub died down,
Tomorrow we have to get up early.
The lights in the huts go out. The youth
I went home from the party.
Only the wind wanders at random
All along the same overgrown path,
Along which with a crowd of guys
He was walking home from the party.
Boris Pasternak, from the poem “Night Wind”.
Humanity dedicates holidays to whom and what: people of certain specialties, relationships, and food. The fantasy of Homo sapiens simply knows no bounds! Last decade, a date was set in honor of a natural phenomenon - wind. Original, isn't it? The creators suggest that we celebrate such a creative holiday every year in the middle of the first summer month. But this article will tell you why to do this.
History of the holiday June 15 World Wind Day
World Wind Day appeared in 2007 on the initiative of representatives of the European Wind Energy Association and the World Wind Energy Council. In the same year, the date was celebrated for the first time, and it happened in Europe. In 2009 she was awarded current status world holiday, and 30 countries took part in the celebrations glorifying the wind. Number of enthusiasts supporting unusual idea, increases every year. Russia is not yet included in this category.
Global Wind Day - this is the name of the holiday in English - is a public event based on humanity’s gratitude to a natural phenomenon that has long been used as an energy resource. Today, China, the USA and many countries of the European continent have huge areas with wind turbines operating on them. Thus, wind power plants have been built on the coasts of England, Holland and Germany, which account for the production of up to 30% of all electricity consumed by residents listed countries. What attracts civilized states to wind energy? Its inexhaustibility, first of all. In addition, the operation of wind generators does not pose a danger to the environment, in other words, it does not pollute the environment in any way. Experts are absolutely confident that wind power plants are the future. This is fair, according to at least, for those regions of the planet where this a natural phenomenon- Not unusual.
Purposes of the holiday June 15th World Wind Day
What are the goals annual World Wind Day? There are several of them. Firstly, attracting public attention to the potential of wind energy. The latter is truly huge and every effort must be made to implement it with maximum benefit for humanity. Secondly, conveying to society the idea of the need to develop the field of wind energy in order to solve problems of an energy, environmental and even economic nature. The result of the work proposed to be carried out in the chosen direction will be a reduction in the amount of monetary resources spent on energy development today; the world overcoming the crisis of global climate change, etc.
On June 15, thematic events are held in the countries participating in the celebration of World Wind Day. As part of such events, everyone has the opportunity to get acquainted with the process of the birth of wind energy, take part in an excursion to a wind farm, seminars, lectures and meetings with specialists involved in developments in this field. I would like to believe that our country will someday officially celebrate World Wind Day, but for now you can coincide with the launch date on June 15 paper kites with friends or just release colorful Balloons as a sign of respect for the natural phenomenon.
Wind in mythology and beliefs of peoples
From time immemorial, people have had a special attitude towards the air currents that “wash” planet Earth from all sides. They divided the winds into good and evil, but in any case they practiced rituals through which they appeased the wayward child of nature. They made sacrifices to the wind, talked to him and even fed him bread, meat, and animal offal. In addition, the air flow was called up if necessary to fulfill one’s own needs, for example, for work windmills or winnowing grain. Women in villages located on sea coasts, in the evenings they went to the sea and prayed to the wind so that it would not get angry and not blow too hard. And so necessary Eastern wind called, and promised to treat him with pancakes and porridge. In eastern Poland there was a tradition of calling air flow during the heat, through the promise of giving a little girl in return. They said this: “Blow, breeze, blow, we’ll give you Anusya.” Of course, the promise remained a promise, despite the outcome of the action.
As for the abode of whirlwinds, storms, hurricanes, etc., each nation had its own point of view on this matter. For example, representatives of the Indo-European ethnos considered pits, caves and abysses to be places where the wind “lived”. According to the Slavs, air currents lived in deep forests, on high mountains with steep slopes or on deserted islands in the middle of the ocean. And representatives of the southern branch of this people were deeply convinced that the caves and pits in which the winds lived were guarded by one-eyed witches or flying snakes.
The Slavs had interesting views on the topic of the appearance of wind. Our ancestors believed that the air flow is a substance where the souls of great sinners and demons coexist. If the wind howled, the Slavs believed: it was the hanged man groaning (the point of view of the Slovaks and Poles). Cold wind, according to such ideas, it blew from the direction where the man drowned (Belarusian beliefs). Wind great strength interpreted as a sign of someone’s violent death. And a quiet, light breeze was considered the result of blows made by angels (the belief of the inhabitants of Rus', the Vologda province).
There was also an opinion: the wind appears because the devil himself plays a pipe made from a willow branch. Others accused of its occurrence sea waves and blacksmiths fanning the bellows. For warning purposes strong winds it was necessary to follow certain rules: for example, do not curse a natural phenomenon, do not destroy anthills, do not beat the ground with a stick, do not blow on the Christmas fire.
People in the past were truly afraid of “evil” winds: whirlwinds, blizzards, hurricanes, storms. They sincerely believed that because of such air currents of wild force, if a person was in the zone of action of the latter, terrible epidemics would subsequently develop, incurable diseases- let's say epilepsy. You can even catch witchcraft damage with a whirlwind or storm: healers, witches and magicians supposedly cast their spells on the air flow. To rid the victim of infection, the Bulgarians, for example, cast a spell: “The wind brought you. The wind carried you away." The Belarusians used a slightly different spell: “Go, hira, catch the wind.”
Enjoy the light, gentle breeze, feel the power of strong gusts of air currents. The wind is our friend, and if cataclysms with its participation occur, try to see this as a person’s fault, a sign that we need to be more careful with the planet and the Earth’s resources.
In 2007, Wind Day was celebrated for the first time on June 15. The meaning of this holiday is to address the problem of the completely insufficient use of wind energy. If we increase the share of wind energy by a sufficiently significant percentage, then humanity will be able to provide itself with energy with minimal damage to the global environment and eliminate the basic preconditions global warming. The leading positions in wind energy now belong to China and the United States; in total, more than 80 countries are successfully implementing wind power plants.
On Wind Day, visits to wind power plants are organized, and the population is told about the use of air flow energy. More than 30 countries have ratified this holiday, but Russia ignored it. However, you can launch on June 15 kite or build a funny air mill for children - a “spinner”.
Today is Wind Day, I congratulate you,
I wish you a fair wind in life,
So that he doesn’t forget your mill,
More money, blown into your house!
So that earthly happiness does not deceive,
Success and good luck, so that the wind doesn’t blow you away!

And good luck to you too,
May the wind bring joy,
So that there is no interference,
So that he takes away troubles.
Happy World Wind Day, I congratulate you.
Be frivolous and sometimes flighty.
And like the wind you conquer the free world,
Erase unnecessary boundaries for yourself.
May luck always walk by your side,
And the winds rage in the heart of youth!
The wind blows, the wind whips,
The whirlwinds spin, the night drives away,
And children know about the wind -
He will drive the clouds away.
The wind is fast and free
Gives us energy
He brings changes to life
And for each their own.
In June we celebrate wind day -
Day of the free prankster of the earth,
Let him be a friend for us,
Does not cause hurricanes or earth haze.
Let the wind flow like happiness
Suddenly he bursts into your life,
Let him give you energy,
Let your dream lift you high.
I wish you on the day of wind
Fresh and big ideas
Enough strength and charisma
Let it be for all your undertakings.
Happy World Wind Day! Let him inflate the sail,
Guiding your ship to happiness, peace, goodness,
And let the worries and problems wander far away,
So that the whole world smiles like the dawn in the morning!
Let wind energy help the planet,
It can give electricity to people,
Well, be the happiest of all in the joyful world,
To fly both kites and dreams into the sky!
On World Wind Day
Let the earth be clothed with his breath,
Let wind energy go far,
Opens up new opportunities!
Let's appreciate nature's nature,
Increase, store, love it,
Let the wind give strength and freshness,
TO happy life will lead us!
On this joyful day
Let the breeze blow
And it only gives us joy,
Brings waves to the shores!
Let the wind fly merrily
He whistles a song about happiness,
And at the same time it takes you far away
Bad weather, troubles and sadness!
On the wings of the wind, like elves
We are flying into the flowery distance.
Our path is changeable, but with a smile
We look into the azure sky.
Those drops of tears with a minor note
The autumn gray rain will fall.
Then suddenly it will turn major
The surface of the sea, you swim on it
Towards the wind and swallow
Cold air, it invigorates.
Let in world holiday wind
The rainbow reigns magically.
He is tirelessly on his shoulders,
It shakes the foliage and circles above us.
He owes the endless weather,
They have been friends since time immemorial.
He also loves to carry our words,
Especially those who are not friends with the truth.
Let it whistle over us endlessly,
And it will turn the heads of lovers.
Congratulations: 26 in verse.
World Wind Day is celebrated on June 15, 2019. The purpose of the holiday is to attract public attention to the potential of wind energy, to declare the importance and necessity of its development.
History and traditions
The event was organized by the European Wind Energy Association and the World Wind Energy Council in 2007. For two years it was carried out only in European countries. Since 2009, the holiday has gained worldwide popularity.
Energy associations and wind industry companies are participating in the celebration. On this day, excursions to wind power plants are held and wind turbine demonstrations are organized. Meetings are organized with experts where they talk about wind energy. Thematic seminars and lectures are held.
Wind energy is an alternative to oil, coal, natural gas and other fossil fuels. It is abundant, renewable, widespread, produces no emissions of water vapor, methane or other greenhouse gases during operation, and uses little land.
If the ocean waves did not extinguish the energy of the wind, it would reach such a force that it would blow everything off the surface of the planet.
The most windy place Russia - Cape Navarin. There are wind gusts of 50-60 m/s.
The most high speed wind was recorded in 1999 in Oklahoma (a state in the south-central United States) - 484 km/h at an altitude of 30 m above the ground.
The first wind generator was built in 1890 in Denmark.
Since ancient times, people have treated the natural elements with fear and reverence, endowed natural phenomena with character, gave them names, organized festivals in their honor and made sacrifices.
Later, when science dispelled this awestruck horror and many mysteries and environmental phenomena no longer became something mysterious and inexplicable, man gradually began to learn to use the energy of the elements for his own benefit.
One source of such energy is wind. Humanity has experienced its destructive power countless times, but at the same time, the wind can also be saving, light, gentle... And most importantly, it can be useful to people.

Since ancient times, people have treated the natural elements of nature such as the wind with horror and reverence; they feared it and at the same time revered it.
The population of the earth has experienced its destructive power many times, but over time, people also learned to use it for the benefit of man.
This holiday was established by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA), whose members are 50 countries, and the World Wind Energy Council (GWEC).
The first celebration took place on June 15, 2007. And just two years later, in 2009, the holiday was recognized worldwide and gained popularity in more than 30 countries around the world.
Now, in the world there is a very strong shortage of natural resources, so the issue of such an industry as wind energy is very relevant.
People are introduced to where wind energy comes from, how it is used and serves people.
The wind blows everywhere, it has the ability to bring disasters or be a source of useful energy. His power is measured, omens are written about him and poems are invented. The emergence of such a holiday as World Wind Day is evidence that man has overcome his own primitive horror of this unsafe element and learned to use it for creation.
Children's summer games with the wind
To play with the wind, you can make different toys from paper and cardboard.
A very simple pinwheel to make from a square, cut from the corners to the center with curved and connected corners, nailed to a stick. Such turntables can be different sizes and colors, they are nailed not only one per stick, but several at once.
SPINNER TOYS
Method of making turntables “Sun”.
To make the “Sun” pinwheel back side The cardboard circle is glued to circles folded in half, one side of which is bent.
Method of making turntables “Cockerel” and “Airplane”.
The “Cockerel” pinwheel is made from a circle folded into 8 parts and cut. The head of the cockerel is attached to a stick, which is glued between two parts of the body and head, the tail of the cockerel is made of colored film. The craft is nailed to a stick.
The “Airplane” spinner is made of cardboard. The airplane body and wings are glued together. The pinwheel is attached using a nail or wire (glued between two parts).
PAPER AIRPLANES
Probably every boy knows how to make an arrow. It is made from a rectangular sheet. The arrow will turn out more beautiful if you decorate it with applique - glue a tail made of colored paper strips.
And here is an airplane made from a square sheet of paper. It is interesting because thanks to the cuts you can give it any look: a sports, passenger or military aircraft.
The third plane is made from a rectangular sheet of paper. This is a jet plane, pay attention to the tail that is bent upward; this manufacturing option allows this plane to glide for a long time in the air.
If the crafts are decorated with appliqué or painted with felt-tip pens, they will be even more attractive.
KITE
A kite is made from thick paper square format, threads (20-25 cm) are attached to the corners so that they hold better, they are glued using small paper circles. All the threads are tied into a knot and a long thick thread is tied to it, which is wound onto a spool or bobbin. The kite's tail can be decorated with candy wrappers of different sizes. You can decorate the craft in different ways, show your creativity.
IN windy weather such a kite can be launched high into the sky. And when there is no wind, you can play with it like a flyer. If you run along the path and hold the flyer by the thread, then he will fly above you, although not very high (at a height of 1-1.5 m).
