If you had constant 35mph wind power in a tunnel 3ft. in diameter how much electricity can you generate?

The answer is also dependent on the size of the windmill used to collect the wind power. The greater the area of the windmill's blades the more power can be generated.

Why is aluminum processed in New Zealand?
Aluminium is processed at Awarua, near Bluff Harbour, from bauxite ore sourced from Wepia in Queensland. To do the refining, a lot of electricity is needed, and a tunnel was dug from Lake Manapouri to Deep Cove in Doubtful Sound, and this is hydro is used to generate cheap electricity.
What is the height of the channel tunnel?
The actual diameter of the running tunnels is 7.6 metres. The actual headroom is nearer 6m.
What is a slot raise?
A slot raise is used in mining for shaft sinking and/or raising (drilling tunnels upwards at 45 to 90 degrees off horizontal). When rock is blasted it expands to about 300% of it's original volume so when drilling a tunnel you need a void to give the blasted rock somewhere to expand into. Rather than drill a large diameter tunnel upwards in one go (running the risk of the expanded rock compacting in place and "freezing" the tunnel) it is common to blast out a small diameter tunnel first - a "slot raise" - and then come back and drill and blast the larger diameter tunnel using the slot raise as a void to allow the blasted rock to expand.
A subway track must pass through a cylindrical tunnel The tunnel is 6 m in diameter How wide should the track bed be so that the maximum height at the centre of the tracks is 4.5 m?
2.6m
Hole in a flower bed that looks like a semi-horizontal tunnel about the diameter of a football What could be in it?
anything but dirt....otherwise it wouldn't be a hole.
How was the mount MacDonald tunnel built?
The tunnel was built under two contracts. One contractor used conventional drill and blast to excavate the entire 40 ft. high by 20 ft. wide tunnel profile, working from the west portal. The east portal contractor excavated a +or- 20 ft. diameter top heading with a tunnel boring machine and then used drill and blast to remove the remaining "bench". The tunnel was lined with concrete after excavation was complete. A third contractor built the ventilation shaft. The tunnel uses a unique ventilation system that consists of the shaft, a tail tunnel connecting the shaft to the main tunnel and doors at either end of the tunnel and near the vent shaft tail tunnel. The doors open and close so as to push exhaust out the vent shaft or pull fresh air from the vent shaft into the tunnel, depending on the position of the train in the tunnel. The tunnel was built to reduce the grade for westbound coal trains. This reduced the need for up to nine additional locomotives to push the coal trains up the steeper grade of the Connaught Tunnel.
What is tunnel in French?

When an object is moved from South Pole to North Pole through a tunnel inside the earth what will the value of G do?
Because G is a constant, it will stay the same regardless of position.
How do tunnels in dams produce electricity?
The tunnels in the dam (what you see on the "low side" of the dam) dont produce electricity. These are the 'outflow' channels for water that is exiting a turbine (which is what generates the electricity). The weight of water behind the dam forces it down a tunnel to a turbine where the water pressure spins the turbine, which generates electricity. The water, once it passes through the generator, goes out a tunnel to a river below the dam. This is typically the water you see coming out from under a "hydro-electric" dam. There are also spillways to let excess water out from the reservoir (high side) behind the dam if the water gets too high.
What is the world's longest canal tunnel?

How big is the largest tunnel boring machine ever used?
The world's largest tunnel boring machine (TBM) is the Herrenknecht S-317 (Shanghi) with a shield diameter of 15.43m. see the related links for more info (videos & photos & data) BUT there is some dispute: on the web there is this quote: The biggest ever built was used to excavate Gotthard Base Tunnel - 19 meters ... The Worlds Largest Hard-Rock Tunnel Boring Machine - STRABAG AG-. However, as of January, 2009, I am unable to find further info about this reference.
