No, there is a govern that is connected to the pitch control of the blades. As the wind speed increases the blade pitch becomes courser. As the blades become more course there is less surface area presented to the wind so the blades slow down.

Is the wind energy same as wind turbine?
Wind energy is converted into electricity by spinning wind turbine. Any electric motor that is powered by electricity will generate electricity if you spin it yourself very fast.
Is a water turbine a wind powered thing?
No it is powered by water. The flow of the water generates electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to generate the electricity
Is a generator a machine that can be powered by a wind turbine?
yes
In a wind turbine - does increasing the blade length or decreasing the blade length increases the speed of the turbine?
Decreasing the blade length will increase the rotation speed, and thus the turbine speed ( for constant wind speed ).
How does the blades on a wind turbine contribute to the energy change?
wind pushes on the blades of the wind turbine which pass on this motion to the generator to produce electricity. The energy and the speed of a wind turbine depend on the blade pitch control which depends on the angel of the blade chord to the plane of rotation. The blade pitch determines the speed of the turbine which also depends on the wind speed. Energy is directly proportional to the speed of the turbine. Therefore, the energy produced by a turbine depends on both the wind speed and the blade pitch angle. By: Amin Elsersawi
Can wind power be used for weapons?
Wind power can not be made into direct weapon, however the electrical energy that wind power gives off can be used to power a weapon. An electric powered gun or military laser might powered by a wind turbine, just it might be powered by some other energy source; nuclear, solar, gas, oil, coal or hydroelectric
How is the power-station the same as a wind powered turbine?
They both produce electricity
What speed of wind is required for a wind turbine to generate electricity?
5mph
What is a wind turnbind?
A wind turbine is a form of electric generation. On top of a tall pole there is a turbine (fan thing) and the wind spins it around. The turbine is connected to a motor which generates an electromagnetic flow from the motion.
How are windmills powered-?
A windmill runs off of the energy that the wind provides. The wind blows against the blades of the windmill and turns them, causing them to turn a turbine. This turbine converts wind energy to kinetic energy, something that we can store and harness.
What is the use of a windmill to drive an electric generator called?
Wind power. A wind farm. A wind turbine.
What does the turbine blade do to the speed of the wind?
nothing wind turbines make the energy
