There is a turbine in the wind mill. When the wind turns the blades on the wind mill, the generator inside cranks backwards createing power. The way it does this is that it turns a copper wire inside. One mill can create enough power for -currently- 90 homes. If there is alot of wind in that area that year.
What else can I help you with?
Why are wind farms built?
wind farms are built to produce electricity through wind power
Why Farms are built?
wind farms are built to produce electricity through wind power
Where is wind power used in Canada?
The Canadian Wind power Association has a nice map which shows the locations where wind generators are operating in wind farms. http://www.canwea.ca/farms/wind-farms_e.php The power is usually used nearby where it is generated.
Do wind farms interfere with flight patterns of migratory birds?
No they don't. The birds can fly higher than the wind turbines and the turbines help create green power.
Does Australia use wind power?
Yes. As of 2012, there are 767 operational wind farms in Australia, and another 6785 proposed wind farms.
How do wind farms produse electrisaty?
by a generator that converts the wind power to electricity
Where is wind power being harvested And what is the future potential for wind farms?
Ask mr lanier!
What is the name for wind power?
The name is just wind energy. Wind energy is created by the spinning of wind turbines on wind farms.
Would wind be a good resource to use for Australia?
Yes. Wind power is already used successfully in many localities in Australia. As of 2012, there are 767 operational wind farms in Australia, and another 6785 proposed wind farms. See the related link below for more information on these wind farms.
Why are wind farms so big?
Wind farms are typically large in order to harness more wind energy and generate more electricity. By having a greater number of wind turbines spread over a wider area, wind farms can capture more wind, which leads to higher energy production. Additionally, building larger wind farms can also help reduce the overall cost of generating electricity from wind power.
What role does the sun play in the creation of wind farms?
The sun's heat causes uneven heating of the Earth's surface, creating temperature differences that lead to the generation of wind. Wind turbines in wind farms harness this wind energy to generate electricity. Therefore, the sun indirectly contributes to the creation of wind farms by driving the wind patterns that power the turbines.
What does GW mean in wind power?
GW in wind power stands for gigawatt, a unit of power equal to one billion watts. It is commonly used to measure the capacity of wind turbines or wind farms to generate electricity.
