Best Answer

The height of a wind turbine has no impact on the turbine's output wattage. The factors that effect the watts produced are:

* The efficiency of turbine design (this is at most 59%) * the density of the air * the radius of the turbine (that is, the length of each fin) * the velocity of the wind passing through the turbine An 80 ft tall turbine would presumably have a fin length (that is, turbine radius) of at most 30 ft. Thus, at sea level on a 59 degree (F) day, in an 8 m/s (18mi/h) wind, with the most efficient turbine design possible, you would generate approximately 15.4 Kilowatts.

If a 17 foot wind turbine can produce 3 Kwatts is that per day or hour or minutes?

3 Kilowatts is a measure of electrical power and means the wind turbine produces 3,000 joules per second. So the question is fairly meaningless, assuming the wind is at the right speed it will be producing 3kW every second, every hour and every day!
