How is wind formed?
Air moves from an area of high pressure to an area of lowpressure. When hot air rises, cooler air rushes in to fill thespace it leaves, thus making wind at the surface. Sea b…reezes occur when inland areas heat up on sunnyafternoons. That warms the air, causing it to rise. Cooler airrushes in from the ocean to take its place and presto, a wind isborn. By late afternoon, a strong breeze can be blowing dozens ofmiles inland. A similar effect can occur near big lakes, where thewind is referred to as a lake breeze. Land breezes come atnight, when inland temperatures drop enough that the ocean is nowwarmer than the land, reversing the effect. (MORE)

What are local winds and global winds?
Local winds are caused by small convection currents and global winds are caused by large convection winds. All wind is caused by the uneven heating of Earth's surface, whi…ch sets convection currents in motion. (MORE)

Do wind turbines have to face the wind?
Of course new generation wind turbine has to face wind.The concept of wind turbine is this that wind has kinetic energy, and this energy is converted by WTG by rotary blade in…to mechanical energy through gear box then again into electrical energy through generator. Here mainly wind is the main criteria, which rotates blade in variable speed depends upon wind density. More density and wind speeed more power will be generated. Besides this there are many versions of wind turbine, Upwind means new generation wind turbine normally we observed, In Down wind turbines turbines has no relation with wind perpendicular to wind. I think you must have got the answer. (MORE)

Are monsoon winds the strongest winds?
No. A monsoon has more to do with rain than with wind. A monsoon is a seasonal weather pattern found in some tropical areas in which most of the rainfall occurs in one sea…son. Monsoon rains can be torrential, but are not necessarily accompanied by strong winds. The fastest winds on earth occur in tornadoes. (MORE)

What is winding ratio between primary winding and secondary winding?
2:1- this is a ratio If primary is 100 Seconardary would be 50 Divide both sides by the largest common number- 50 100:50 = 2:1 Refering to a winding it tells us its the number… of turns of wire around a air or iron core on each side Answer The winding ratio or, more correctly, 'turns ratio', of a transformer is the ratio of the number of turns in the primary and secondary winding. For an ideal transformers (most transformers are close to being 'ideal'), the turns ratio is the same as the voltage ratio. So if the secondary voltage is, say, ten times the primary voltage, then the transformer's voltage ratio is 1:10, and so, too, is its turns ratio. (MORE)
