A wind turbine is not designed to generate wind, it uses wind and generates electricity.
Wind Turbine
5mph
No it is powered by water. The flow of the water generates electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to generate the electricity
A wind turbine with a diameter of about 150m will generate about 10MW of power.
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.
Lack of wind is the main disadvantage.

Wind itself does not generate electricity, but using wind turbines it is converted into mechanical energy and the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. "Simply stated, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. Take a look inside a wind turbine to see the various parts. View the wind turbine animation to see how a wind turbine works."
A home wind turbine will use the power of wind to provide and generate energy. One can use a home wind turbine at home to provide electricity or heat water, for example.
less than 100 kilowatts of electricity can be used to power a single home.
