I live near a big Windmill park on the island named Smøla in Western Norway. Each mill produce ca 2MW. The production depend on the strength of the wind and the amount of time giving wind. It is an estimate that 68 mills support 25000 inhabitants with electric energy.
With average 2 persons in a household, the production gives enogh electric energy for ca 12000 households.
Each mill then supports about 200 households.
By building a windmill to turn the wind power into electrical power

6000 years ago wind power was harnessed in what now is Iraq.
The simplest part of a windmill are the rotor blades, generator and the shaft. but there are many parts when it comes to wind turbines. hope this helps!
Advantages1. wind to harness electricity2. Environmentally friendly, does not produce green house gasesDisadvantages1. Reliability.The output power of a windmill depends on the speed of the wind.If wind is not strong in the area, the windmill will not generate enough power to grind grain to flour, or, will grind only some grain. Thus building windmills in this type of areas will be useless.2.Noise pollution is also another problem. When rotating, the vanes of the windmill make a considerable amount of noise.3. A lot of resources needed
A windmill cannot give any houses!
Yes. Because it is an energy source that can bring power to many towns. In fact, some of chicago is run off of windmill power.
1000 homes
The wind should be able to power any size windmill.
Yes some states use windmill power like California
A motor is used to power a windmill.
Windmill power generation is an alternative source of power. However, whether it is the right source of power for you will depend on certain factors. Initially it is costly to implement the windmill power source, however, in the end you will reap the benefits of this investment.
No
There are many requisite for making a household windmill. I have found some important tips at site that is related to Solar power or wind energy. Hope you will get the desired answer.
A windmill does not blow.A windmill is blown by the wind.The windmills sails turn the wind into power to operate machines, pumps or electrical generators.
1 How many windmills it takes to power a city depends on the amount and reliability of the wind, the power output of each windmill, and the power requirements of the city.
The windmill are actually still used today. Though we use a more advanced and technical one. This one moves even faster when pushed by wind and still moves slowly when there is no wind. These ones are believed to only be for decoration, but that is untrue. These actually power water pipes under ground and some electricty in houses and buildings. But in houses and buildings this is only for the basic stuff. But if the electricty goes out the windmill will not keep it on. The windmill is still used , but isnt the most common form of electricty. You would mostly see them powerign small things or yes, for decoration.
