It would be best to be higher than the buildings in the residential area, so that the rotor is operating in clear air rather than shielded by buildings

Where in the US would you not want to build a wind turbine because of the lack of wind?
wind farm
How many kilowatts would a 600 watt wind turbine produce per month?
What I think you mean, is, "How many kilowatt-hours could a 600 watt turbine produce in a month?" The answer is, not more than 432.
How long and how thick are wind turbine blades?
Wind turbines blades are about 15 meters long (average wind turbine) The thickness of the blade depends on the length of the blade. The width is about 10% of the length, in this case, would be about 1.5 meters thick.
What is true about turbines in an hydroelectric dam?
Which statement is true about the turbine in a hydroelectric dam it would be It is turned by wind and provides a direct current.
How much less Co2 would an average household produce if they had a residential wind turbine?
I would say... about 20% less
Would a turbine be a chemical or physical change?
Turbine is not a change, a turbine is a mechanical device.
What would possess someone to actually go out and buy a residential wind turbine?
A wind turbine converts kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy which can be used as commercially electric power or electricity for your house. It is slowly becoming more popular because it creates a large amount of electricity at a cheap price.
Why would you not heat the steam coming out of turbine and feedback to turbine?
becouse this steam is use repetdly for the turbine
Why would a turbine be used instead of a water wheel?
a turbine would be used instead of a water wheel because a turbine does not use as much energy and it uses the wind to generate it.
How much does a small steam turbine cost?
That would depend on the type and size of turbine.
How much space would a land or homeowner need to operate wind turbine generators?
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.
Where would a wind turbine be found?
in space
If a wind turbine designed for residential use is rated at 15 kWh would it provide enough electircal power for a typical home assuming everything is electric?
Not very often. A typical all-electric house service is 200 amps which is 48 kw.
How long are wind turbine?
I would say that it would be as long as 300ft
How do you can control water turbine?
Well Really It Would Depend On What Type Of Water Turbine You HAd Yuo Should Contact The Manufacturer.
Why use journal bearing in turbine?
putting a journal bearing at each end of the turbine rotor or shaft would be to support it.
