Do wind turbines blades ever come off?

There have been catastrophic failures of wind turbines where they come apart. A search for wind turbine failures on a video site will give you examples.


Where have wind turbines been used successfully in the UK?

Britain has the largest offshore wind farm in the world, the 175-turbines of the London Array wind farm, off the Kentcoast.


Do cars give off more pollution than wind turbines?

Yes.


How dependent are you on wind turbines?

As a child I was raised by two wind turbines in rural England - they were good parents, despite what you are told by the media. As I haven't yet paid off my student loan, I am dependant on them for somewhere to live, or I'll have to live on the streets. In short, I am very dependant on wind turbines.


Are there wind turbines in Chicago?

Yes, there are wind turbines located near Chicago in the state of Illinois. These turbines are typically found in rural areas outside the city where there is more open space and wind exposure, such as in wind farms.


Where are wind turbines located?

Most wind turbines are located in Australia as of 2010. There are many other places which use wind tubines but Texas is the main source. Wind turbines can be located anywhere there is enough room to place them and no danger to populace. The preferred locations are sufficiently windy and have largely constant winds, e.g. exposed high areas, like hills or small mountains or coastal areas, some wind turbines are even placed off the coast. The limiting factors in the placement of wind turbines are the price and ease of transport to that area, the infastructure of the area and assembling the turbines.


What energy do you get from the ocean?

Oil from underneath the ocean floor. Wave energy from waves. Wind turbines located off shore.


Do wind turbines catch fire?

Normally they shouldn't, however in scotland recently there were very strong winds and one of the turbines span so fast it did catch fire and the fan fell off.


Why are wind turbines in the world?

Wind Turbines are an efficient way of creating electricity with zero air pollution. Currently, England powers 13 percent of their country by wind turbines. Wind turbines and Solar panels are important in two ways. They are free and they cause no pollution. Of course there's the cost of your panels and turbines although the amount of electricity it will produce over its lifetime will greatly outweigh its cost in currency. The U.S. still imports the majority of its oil to fuel our nation, which is costly and messy. The prevailing winds that travel across the great plains, in addition with several hundred or thousand offshore wind farms, along with solar fields in the southwest. We could ultimately fuel our entire country off the wind and sun. This obviously would be costly and an extremely long term project, although over time, whether we like it or not, oil will run dry. GO WIND TURBINES!!


Why shouldn't you use wind turbines?

I think that wind turbines are a bad idea. Think about how much it made to make that wind turbine. How much energy it took to make it. Did you know that they will fling ice chunks off flying? Some times whole propeller will go flying off, then they'll hit a building. They have been recorded to fly up to almost a mile. Plus the very annoying noise they make.


Should wind turbine blades be heavy or light?

Light. It needs to be able to spin fast. Suppose you had a heavy blade, it would never spin. You might think it needs the extra weight to give it speed, but the wind turbines do not work off momentum, the work off the wind.


Does water turbines affect the environment?

Yes, water turbines effect the environment they turn kinetic energy (the waves energy) into mechanical energy, then to electrical energy so we can turn our lights on and off and use the computer you are using now. There are also wind turbines or windmills that do the same but instead of using waves they harness the energy of the wind. Environmental science will be very helpful in the future and everyone needs to do more to go green!
