Costs are variable to run a wind turbine , the major cost is in the set up , after that it's just maintenance. The variables are size, power output, setup costs, etc...

How will you get a large amount of electricity with having a wind turbine in the back of your garden?
You would need to have a very large wind turbine system in your back yard. Failing to have the money to purchase an expensive wind system, you can purchase a couple of smaller ones that can run part of your home on windy days.
Dose a wind turbine run twenty four hours a day?
nope....only when the wind is blowing...
What happens inside a wind turbine?
usually an wind turbine consists of large gears at its shaft point which produces slow speed to high speed to run the generator coupled to it
What do you need to run a household on solar and wind power?
Sunshine and wind. Hardware you will need solar panels and a wind turbine and batteries. a calculation of your power requirements will let you know how many solar cells and how large a wind turbine will be needed to run your house off the grid. costs are substantial. at least $45k for all required items.
Can rechargable batteries run a wind turbine when there is no wind and be recharged when it's windy?
Yes, but, the oil, coal, gas, and nuclear companies will do everything they can to keep them from being built.
What fuels are used in wind energy?
Typical fossil fuels are used to build the turbine and construct it. Once built wind is the main energy component for the wind turbine itself. Fossil fuel plants run on standby (not producing power yet consuming fuel) to backup these systems. This fuel is ignored to maintain the "green" status of Wind systems.
Any machine that converts kinetic energy to electrical energy?
-- steam turbine -- hydroelectric turbine -- wind turbine -- hand-crank generator I think even the nuclear power plants do that ... they use the heat from the reactor core to boil water, then run it through a steam turbine to generate the electric power.
What is the purpose of turbine windmills?
To harvest some of the power out of the wind. Either to turn it into electricity, or to run some machinery directly. Like a pump or a mill.
How much electricity does a wind turbine make a day?
Enough to light 350 homes if the wind is at exactly 28 mph all day If the wind reduces to 14 mph that number drops to 35 homes If the wind drops to 13 mph that number is 20 homes Fossil fuel plants run at 100% at all times to make up for these variables.
Will a turbine run out?
i will never run out my name is summer im............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
What is mockumentary?
Examples of a mockumentary: Take the Money & Run, A Mighty Wind and The Last Polka.
Understanding Wind Power?
A wind turbine can provide enough electricity to power a small town or village. While wind holds lots of kinetic energy, storing it as potential energy can be challenging. Most wind energy generators only run for a few hours every day. During this time, they store energy in a set of connected batteries. It's a good idea to use lead-acid batteries for a wind turbine. This can be a great way to store energy at a reasonable cost.
