How does the wind turbine operate?

Well wind causes the blades to spin, which cause energy. Which goes inside the turbine by wires. Then the energy passes through a generator making electricity.


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 ;-)


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.


Does a wind turbine spin at the speed of sound?

Definitely not. Not even the tip of the blade.


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.


How fast wind turbines spin?

It depends on how hard/fast the wind is blowing- the harder/faster the wind blows the faster the wind turbine spins


Why do you use wind turbine?

Wind turbines utilize wind energy to convert it to usable electrical energy. Specifically, the kinetic energy of the air molecules spin a turbine within an electromagnetic field, the kinetic energy of the turbine is then converted to electrical energy due to the presence of the electromagnetic field.


How is wind or nuclear energy found or sourced?

I'm not sure about nuclear energy, but wind energy is created when strong winds spin a wind turbine which creates energy :)


Why does wind generate electricity?

Wind itself does not generate electricity, but using wind turbines it is converted into mechanical energy and the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. "Simply stated, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. Take a look inside a wind turbine to see the various parts. View the wind turbine animation to see how a wind turbine works."


What does a wind turbine make?

A wind turbine makes wind for scientific study.


How wind energy works?

A wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, a turbine uses wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. The electricity is sent through transmission and distribution lines to a substation, then on to homes, business and schools.
