Basics Of Wind Power

In a paragraph or two can someone answer the question
describing the basics of sailing a large ocean-going vessel by wind power alone?
I have to answer this question for a project but i have no idea.. Someone HELP!!

The basics of sailing the oceans can be narrowed down to two things: ocean currents and prevailing winds. Civilizations which studied these two phenomena became the explorers and rulers of the seas.

Ocean currents can flow at...

I'm studying electricity in school, but I still don't have a firm grasp on electrical power systems and was hoping for some help. I have four main questions. Anyone working in power systems, please share your...

the frequency 60 Hz is governed by the generator speed
and the number of poles in the design
60 Hz times 60 minutes = 3600 periods per minute
a 2 pole machine will rotate at 3600 RPM
a 4 pole machine = 1800 RPM and will be
