How much energy does a wind powered generator produce?

The Phillipe Starcke wind turbine is currently in design and is expected to generate about 60% of a house's energy. When it goes on the market it will be around $500.


How much energy can be used with solar energy?

The amount of energy that can be generated with solar energy depends on factors such as location, amount of sunlight, size of solar panel system, and efficiency of the panels. On average, a residential solar panel system can generate around 10-12 kilowatt-hours per square foot per year. Commercial and utility-scale solar installations can generate much more energy.

How does a Chinese diesel generator work?

A chinese diesel generator is the combination of a diesel engine with an electrical generator (often called an alternator) to generate electric energy. Diesel generating sets are used in places without connection to the power grid or as emergency power-supply if the grid fails. A Chinese generator is pretty much the same as a regular generator. Besides the fact that it is made in China there isn't a big difference in how they function.


How much minimum torque is required by a turbine to generate Electricity?

initial torque to overcome the friction in generator and then to keep constant speed of stator within the generator. Minimum 50NM


How much energy can a diesel generator produce?

The amount of energy a diesel generator set can produce depends on its size and capacity. Typically, diesel generator sets range from small, portable units generating a few kilowatts (kW) to large industrial generator sets producing several megawatts (MW) of electrical power. A small diesel generator set may produce between 5-20 kW, while larger industrial models can generate anywhere from 500 kW to several MW.

When you are creating a generator what determines how much current is generated?

You don't generate current. You generate voltage, and the amount of current that leaves the generator is determined by the devices that are designed to run with that voltage, and draw their operating energy from your generator. You choose the size of the materials used to construct your generator based on the maximum amount of current you expect it to be asked to deliver by its users. But the actual current at any moment will depend on how many people are using it for their supply, and what kind of appliances they're operating. If nobody is using power from your generator, or the output cables are disconnected from it, then you can run it all you want and the current will be zero. Before you decide on the final design and go out for bids to construct your generating station, you might like to review the topics of voltage, current, power, and energy, and get them straight in your mind.


How much diesel fuel is needed to generate 1 kw of electricity?

The amount of diesel fuel needed to generate 1 kW of electricity varies depending on the efficiency of the generator. On average, a diesel generator may consume about 0.25 to 0.4 liters of diesel fuel per kWh produced. Therefore, to generate 1 kW of electricity for one hour, approximately 0.25 to 0.4 liters of diesel fuel would be required, depending on the generator's efficiency and load conditions.


Is a windmill a generator?

in a way yes, in a way no. if you are talking about a windmill GENERATOR, then yes it is a generator. however, it doesn't have to be a huge white thing in the fields. as long as it has a generator connected to it, it is considered as a generator. hope i have helped

What is the difference between motor and generator in electrical machine?

A motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and a generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.Longer answerThe primary difference between a motor and a generator is that one converts electrical energy into mechanical energy (that's the motor) and the other converts mechanical energy into electrical energy (that's the generator).In some cases of direct current (DC) machines, but not alternating current (AC) machines, there is so little difference that a single device (it might be called a motor-generator) can be used as either a motor or a generator.A superb example of this would be the motor-generator that is used in electric vehicles: when the vehicle is accelerated, the batteries supply power to the motor-generator and it acts as a motor, driving the wheels. When the brake is applied, the motor-generator shifts function and the vehicle's inertia is used by the motor-generator to generate electricity and put some energy back into the batteries. This slows the vehicle down. The one device (the motor-generator) is being used in either capacity. The "handle" often applied to electric vehicles with this feature is dynamic braking.They alike because they both have stators and rotors they are different in that the generator is driven by mechanical device that rotates the rotor, the rotor cuts through magnetic force fields and electricity is generated. The motor is driven by an input of electricity into the stator and the rotor is forced to turn by reaction with magnetic force fields.Generator will provides current to load ......... but motor will drawn current............... generator is based on Flemming right hand rule but motor is based on left hand rule.
