A large wind mill generates more energy compared to the smaller sized wind mill as it can capture more wind energy i.e.its Plant load factor/Capacity factor is higher.

How much energy does a small wind turbine generate?
less than 100 kilowatts of electricity can be used to power a single home.
Is it possible to attach a wind turbine to an airplane to increase efficiency?
No. The amount of energy gained will be less than spent by the aircraft to overcome the drag created by your turbine.
How does it generate electricity what are the cause involve to generate that quantity of electricity?
Both Wind turbines and hydroelectric dams generate energy in close to the same way, in a wind turbine, the powerful, slow spinning blades move a drive shaft that goes through a gearbox that converts the shaft into a faster moving, slightly less powerful shaft. In a hydroelectric dam, falling water moves a drive shaft. This spinning rod then turns a turbine, which turns a generator around (a magnet near coils of wire.) This creates electricty!
What is the goal of wind turbine invention and technology?
Political - independence from Middle East energy Political - clean energy - less global warming All the energy "eggs not in the same basket"
Can you create energy by placing a wind power generator on the train?
No. Setting a turbine on the train will create drag, making the train harder to drive(=using up more power). And the amount of energy that you'd get from the turbine will be less than the amount of energy that you'd had to add to keep the train moving.
Do large predators use more or less energy than producers?
LESS
What are 2 ways power can be increased?
One way to increase power is to work harder (generate more energy in same amount of time). Another way to increase power is to work faster (generate the same amount of energy in less time).
What animal does not eat much?
Most reptiles and insects eat far less compared to mammals and birds as they are much less active and use less energy to generate body heat.
Why is the steam turbine generally more efficient than the piston-type steam engine?
less moving parts, each of which subtracts from total energy output
Do you pay less to use wind energy to generate electricity?
i think you do not need to pay anything to generate ind into electricity because wind is a natural source that is given in air and scientists just figure out how to generate wind into electricity, but it might cost a little if its necessary
What are some advantages of having a home wind turbine?
A home wind turbine allows the homeowner to generate electricity for their own use, as long as the proper equipment is on site. Thus the homeowner uses less electricity from the city and saves money. Should the amount of electricity generated exceed that of the homeowner's needs, many cities pay to use this electricity. In this way a home wind turbine might provide a net profit.
Explain some of the limitations of solar energy?
solar energy is available only when the sun is shining. Solar collectors and cells work less efficiently on cloudy days. they don't work at all at night. and during winter, when days are short, the collectors and cells generate less energy.
