Where do windmills gets it energy?
It is the opposite to the way how old airplanes were propelled. They use the propeller. When the propeller is exposed to the wind it rotates automatically. (Compare with the boat propeller and water turbine.)
How do you set up a wind turbine?
You'll need a propeller attached to a generator, preferably mounted on something to enable it to catch the most wind.
How wind turbine produce electricity?
Wind is one of our free resources and in some areas blows up to 80% of the time. The wind is used to move large propeller blades attached to a gearbox. The gearbox is connected to a turbine to produce the electrical current. The gearbox also prevents the propeller blades from going into a runaway mode.
Why wind turbines have quadratic twist whereas propellers have linear?
I guess it might be because propellers turn at much higher rpm than a wind turbine. non-linearities in propeller twist are negligible and therefore omitted
What makes a wind turbine move?
Wind makes the turbine move and the wind makes elctrecity.

What is the best propeller shape for a wind turbine?
The best propeller design is one that extracts the most kinetic energy from moving air over the greatest range of wind speeds. You would be astonished at the complexity and ambition of the math that has gone into designing them.
How is electricity created by wind?
The most common way is for the wind to push against a Windmill, basically a large propeller mounted on a tower, which causes the propeller to spin (same principle as how an airplane propeller works, but with the wind turning the propeller, instead of the turning propeller pushing the wind). When the propeller spins, it causes a turbine generator to also spin, producing the electricity. Pretty much every kind of turbine-powered power plant (hydroelectric dam, coal-burning power plant, a nuclear reactor, or a steam engine on a ship) will work the same way, producing electricity by spinning a turbine. The main difference is how they get the energy to spin the turbine. In fact, coal, diesel (like what most ships use nowadays), and nuclear power plants all typically work by heating up water to make steam, which is then used to spin a turbine. Alternately, the wind could blow your hair around and make some static electricity to shock you with the next time you touch your hair. This method does not produce enough electricity to be useful, however.
How wind turbines convert mechanical energy into electrical energy?
With a generator mounted on the "turbine". The propeller spins the generator shaft.
How long are wind turbine?
I would say that it would be as long as 300ft
How does aircraft propeller work?
the motor spins the propeller like a turbine. isn't it obvious, idiot .
How long it take to build a wind turbine?
3.5 years
How long does it take to build a wind turbine?
3.5 years
How many feet wide is a wind turbine?
Wind turbine vary enormously in size from a small turbine on a boat with blades about two feet in diameter to large industrial 'wind farms' the blades of which are individually dozens of feet long
What does a wind turbine make?
A wind turbine makes wind for scientific study.
