How does the wind cause a turbine to spin?

turbines spin when there is a cause of wind..!!


Uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine?

A windmill uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine. This is a natural way to make energy and keep it for future use.


How fast does a wind turbine spin?

it depends how windy it is by vysnav.k ;-)


In a wind turbine - does increasing the blade length or decreasing the blade length increases the speed of the turbine?

Decreasing the blade length will increase the rotation speed, and thus the turbine speed ( for constant wind speed ).


How does the blades on a wind turbine contribute to the energy change?

wind pushes on the blades of the wind turbine which pass on this motion to the generator to produce electricity. The energy and the speed of a wind turbine depend on the blade pitch control which depends on the angel of the blade chord to the plane of rotation. The blade pitch determines the speed of the turbine which also depends on the wind speed. Energy is directly proportional to the speed of the turbine. Therefore, the energy produced by a turbine depends on both the wind speed and the blade pitch angle. By: Amin Elsersawi


Where can you get a wind turbine model?

Amazon has a Solar Wind Turbine Model for less than $50 and also a USB Wind Turbine Model for the same price. With the solar model the blades spin when sunlight hits the solar panels and with the usb model the blades will spin when connected to a usb port.


What speed of wind is required for a wind turbine to generate electricity?

5mph


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.


Is the wind energy same as wind turbine?

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.


What does the turbine blade do to the speed of the wind?

nothing wind turbines make the energy

Is a wind turbine an example of sound energy?

No. A wind turbine uses mechanical energy (the moving air) to generate electrical energy.
