If you're asking can they be as small as this, then yes, but they won't generate a lot of electricity. Most turbines are 10 or more times this height.

How many wind turbines are in Australia?

In 2014, there were about 50 wind farms in the nation of Australia. Each wind farm has an average of about 20 turbines each. That means there are about 1,000 turbines in Australia.


What are the advantages of generating electricity by wind turbines compared with generating it at an oil-fired power station?

wind turbines have blades like the propellors on the first aeroplanes wind turbines with blades convert 20-30% of wind energy into electricity but this new turbine can convert 70%.

What are the disadvantages of wind power?

Disadvantages of wind power:The strength of the wind is not constant and it varies from zero to storm force. This means that wind turbines do not produce the same amount of electricity all the time. Luckily, wind energy isn't produced in isolation. It's added to widely connected energy grids with 24 hour spot energy markets. It's added to grids that span thousands of kilometres and have many types of generation and demand. Up to about 20% of a grid's generation capacity, it requires very little backup.Some people see large wind turbines as unsightly structures and not pleasant or interesting to look at. They believe that wind turbines degrade the landscape.Wind turbines generate noise. A subset of people who live near wind turbines find this noise annoying. A subset of those people get stressed by it. Wind turbine noise does not make people sick.Birds are killed by wind turbines. Studies show that wind turbines do not threaten the vast majority of bird species populations. Killing birds, in other words, does not threaten birds generally. That said, wind turbines should not be sited on raptor migration routes, as the Altamont wind turbine farm was. The best evidence is that song birds migrate at 2000-4000 feet, far above wind turbines and sea birds avoid them according to radar and thermal studies of North Sea wind farms.Bats are also killed by wind turbines, due to barotraumic stress (the reduced air pressure behind a wind turbine blade is damaging to bat's lungs and heart). However, bats are not killed in significant numbers compared to their populations by wind turbines. Bats are, however, killed in significant numbers in North America by white nose syndrome (300,000 in one cave alone.)

A building is 20 feet tall How tall is the building in yards and feet?

Simple. You must divide 20 by three since there are three feet in a yard. Therefore, your answer is 60 feet.
