The most important thing to know about is your local laws. They will determine how much space they require for a wind turbine. However, half an acre of land is sufficinet if you are allowed to have one.

It depends on how much power you want to generate, and if your land has sufficient wind (winds that are at least 10mph and sustained). Power generated is related to turbine size and spacing requirements. I'll assume you want a single residential sized wind turbine with about a 30 ft blade and a 120 foot height. That would need about 250 square feet of clear space.

Camping generators are the same as most home and commercial generators on the market today. They are gas engines that create power. It is doubtful they will work in space.

Can a gasoline engine operate in outer space?

No, a gasoline engine cannot operate in outer space because it requires oxygen to combust the fuel. In the vacuum of space, there is no air for combustion to occur, so the engine would not work.

What is kenotometer?

A kenotometer is an instrument used in steam turbine condensers to measure the vacuum in the steam space of the condenser. The vacuum achieved by the condenser has significant influence on the efficiency of the steam turbine.


Why are wind generators good?

Wind generators are good because the blades rotate slowly making maintenance cheap, they occupy a small space on the ground, and a group of wind generators can produce a large amount of electricity. Moreover, they present a beautiful shape on the panorama.

Why there is tripping given in vacuum in thermal power station?

Generally the condenser in the power plants are designed to operate under vacuum. The specific volume of the steam is relatively higher than water. The steam coming from the exhaust of the turbine is cooled by the circulating water and the non combustibles are removed by the air removing equipment like ejectors or vacuum pumps. In case these equipment fail condensation of steam fails and it tries to occupy more volume. As the space in the condenser is limited it is pressurized and failure would happen. More over once the condenser is pressurized the flow through the turbine is reduced considerably which leads to churning of steam in the turbine which ultimately heats the turbine blades leading to failure. Hence a tripping of turbine is introduced which cuts of steam flow into the turbine and the condenser.
