That will depend on the size of the windmill generator and its location.

You can get details of calculations used to measure how much energy a particular wind turbine will generate at the page below, plus a lot more information on wind turbines and how to make a windmill generator.

Typically wind systems are rated at 28 mph wind loading. There is almost nowhere on earth this is an average wind. Average winds here in southeastern Wisconsin or Chicago run less then 14 mph. That means a system rated at 1000 watts will be giving us 100 watts on an average day and about 40 watts in overall average. This is because wind systems also do not generate after 31 mph for safety reasons.

So, you can run a small light bulb on a medium sized home system on average. This cost will run around $600.00 and pay back in under 100 years, unless you have problems with your batteries or system. Lightening is a problem.

What energy conversions takes place when water boils resulting stream is blown against huge turbine blades the turbine blades spin in a magnetic field and the electricity is used to light a lamp?

The energy conversions that take place in this scenario are: 1) Thermal energy from boiling water is converted to kinetic energy when the steam is blown against the turbine blades, causing them to spin; 2) The kinetic energy of the spinning turbine blades is then converted to electrical energy as the blades interact with the magnetic field to generate electricity; 3) Finally, this electrical energy powers the lamp, converting it into light energy for illumination.


Why cant you create electrical energy while the vehicels are running and use it in the vehicel for different purposeslike for dynamo and lights etc?

You can, but it is counter productive. No system is completely lossless, and energy cannot be created or destroyed. Knowing these two statements to be true, if you created a system, such as a wind turbine, that you attached to the roof of a car, and you attempted to use it to power the car, what you will find is: 1. The wind turbine must get energy from somewhere to create energy 2. The energy the wind turbine gets is from the moving air 3. The moving air is a result of the car's forward movement 4. Since energy cannot be created from nothing, there must be a "back effect" on the car. This back effect is called drag - the wind turbine introduces extra drag on the car. 5. The extra drag will slow the car down, or will require the car to use more energy to continue going at it's original speed. 6. The wind turbine is not 100% lossless, so it takes more energy to make the output energy from the turbine. 7. Therefore the addition of the wind turbine causes the car to use more energy than the wind turbine provides back. You're car does in fact do what you say - the alternator takes energy from the motor to run all the electrical stuff in your car, but I'm fairly certain what you are getting at is a greater than 100% efficient machine, also known as perpetual motion machine.


How much power does a wind turbine create?

The Power Generated by a Wind Turbine entirely depends on the capacity of the turbine which is installed.. there are turbines ranging from 1 watt to 10 MW that can be installed in a wind farm The installation of the turbine depends on the Wind Potential of the area.


What does steam do to a turbine?

Steam (under pressure) comes into contact with the blades of the turbine through which it is flowing and, by the direct application of force, causes the blades to move, turning the turbine shaft. The turbine coverts the thermal energy of the steam into (rotating) mechanical energy. Surf on over to our friends at Wikipedia using the provided link and get more info. Oh, and check out the pics! Answer it depends what type of turbine one is using types of steam turbine 1 impulse turbine 2 reaction turbine in 1 st one steam is completely expanded inside nozzle and all pressure energy get converted in to kinetic energy using this impulse force turbine runs. in 2nd steam is multiple stage blades are used where high pressure superheated steam gets expanded inside the turbine in each stage and after each stage velocity of steam increases. very high temperature superheated steam is reaquired because it has very high specific volume which helps in reducing mass flow rate of steam.


How much amount of power will consume for to rotate one turbine?

The amount of power consumed to rotate one turbine can vary depending on factors such as the size of the turbine, wind speed, and efficiency of the turbine system. On average, a small residential wind turbine may consume around 1-10 kW of power to rotate. Commercial-scale turbines can consume much more power, typically in the range of 1-2 MW.


How much it cost to construct 1 turbine?

The costs for a commercial scale wind turbine is from $1.2 million to $2.6 million, per MW of nameplate capacity installed.


Can Solar energy be directly converted into electricity and with what?

Method 1 PV Cells - Converts solar energy in electrical energy DC power Solar Inverter - converts DC power to AC power Method 2 Solar is used to heat liquid and convert to vapour. Vapour is used to run the turbine. Electrical generator converts mechanical energy in turbine to electrical energy.


How much amount of energy can produce one day in windmill?

If the wind is 0.015 W/km.t then it will preduce 85 %. That means you can have your lights on a whole day, without the electricity will crash. A 1 MW wind turbine running for 1 day produces 24 MWh of energy, in other words 24,000 kh or 24,000 units. That energy might have been generated in a coal-fired power plant which exhausted 24 tons of CO2 in the atmosphere. With the wind turbine running the coal-powered station produces less energy and less CO2, so that wind turbine in those conditions saves 24 tons of CO2 going into the atmosphere each day.


How much water is used to produce 1 kw of electricity?

generally for a condensing turbine the quantity for generating one MW electricity the steam quantity remains 8.5 t/h. it will depend on the design of Turbine in Our project it is 5.5 t/MW
