Where are wind turbines most commonly built?
Generally at sea, as it's more windy, or just in any windy areas.
Why do hydroelectric power stations have to be built in hilly areas?
I don't know about hilly areas (many stations are next to dams), but they have to be built where the water flows through the turbines by gravity (i.e., does not have to be pumped).
What are the environmental disadvantages of wind turbines?
List:1. kill thousands of bats/birds2. if put in the ocean, can harm the ocean ecosystem3. can harm forest (when being built in that area) along with wildlife there4. soil erosion due to building of turbines (exaggerated argument though)
How is Hydroelectricity collected and then turned into useable energy?
If a dam is built across a river, water can be allowed to flow in a controlled way through turbines that generate electricity.
How are hydroelectric power stations built?
Firstly, the topographer makes a detailed study of the topography on the local, in which the hydroelectric power plant will be built. Then on an appropriate place the terrain is lowered to form the waterfall which will move the turbines that will generate electricity. The river is blocked to form a huge dam and it has a channel to make the water fall from the top of the dam. Many stages to be followed until the turbines begin to generate electricity.
Are wind turbines built in factories?
yes it is
Should wind turbines be built in Vermont?
Yes because wind turbines are alternate energy sources
Was the ark that Noah built a picture of judgment?
Yes, Noah's ark was a picture of judgment. Those who were sheltered from the fury of nature would survive. Those who were wicked or foolish enough to remain exposed to that fury would die.
How do wind farms work?
wind farms are built and turbines are put up. As the wind blows it turns the turbines generating electricity.
How come some turbines can take 20 percent of co2 with 80 percent methane while other turbines ask for 100 percent methane?
It Just depends on who Built the Turbine, far-en turbines use more co2 than turbines made near you.
Are wind turbines installed on electric vehicles?
how are windmills built to rotate at a steady rpm
How are the gremlins built?
When gremlins are exposed to bright light I think it hurts them, but when they are exposed to sunlight it kills them.
Where are wind turbines most commonly built?
Generally at sea, as it's more windy, or just in any windy areas.
What has to be built for wind energy to be used?
Wind Turbines. They have a motor inside of them that produces energy when the blades of the turbine turn and when they turn energy is generated by the wind turning the blades and the motor. <><><> In addition to the wind turbines, you need a grid of powerlines to carry the electricity to where it will be used. This frequently costs more than the wind turbines.
Why do hydroelectric power stations have to be built in hilly areas?
I don't know about hilly areas (many stations are next to dams), but they have to be built where the water flows through the turbines by gravity (i.e., does not have to be pumped).
Can wind power from wind farms or turbines be stored?
In most cases it is not stored. But there are a number of methods (batteries, compressed air storage, hydro) in partial use and in experimental projects. One Japanese company is planning to build wind turbines with built-in batteries.
Does lightning effect wind turbines?
They have a lightning rod built into them, which therefore does not affect them at all because once it strikes the charge is dispersed back into the ground.
