Is a generator a machine that can be powered by a wind turbine?
yes
How is the power-station the same as a wind powered turbine?
They both produce electricity
Is the wind energy same as wind turbine?
Wind energy is converted into electricity by spinning wind turbine. Any electric motor that is powered by electricity will generate electricity if you spin it yourself very fast.
How are windmills powered-?
A windmill runs off of the energy that the wind provides. The wind blows against the blades of the windmill and turns them, causing them to turn a turbine. This turbine converts wind energy to kinetic energy, something that we can store and harness.
What is the cost to install a wind powered turbine generator?
It costs about $75,000 to install a turbine that is powerful enough to sustain the average house.
What does a home wind turbine do?
A home wind turbine will use the power of wind to provide and generate energy. One can use a home wind turbine at home to provide electricity or heat water, for example.
What can wind be used for?
Wind can be used to pump water from wells AND/OR generate electricity. Wind-powered boats or ships are called SAILboats. Hot air balloons are driven by the wind. There are even wind turbine powered sailboats. Sailplanes (gliders) soar AND glide on the wind. Plus, we breathe it. Without aspiration, plants and tress would suffocate. In many cases, this requires wind movement.
What is a wind turnbind?
A wind turbine is a form of electric generation. On top of a tall pole there is a turbine (fan thing) and the wind spins it around. The turbine is connected to a motor which generates an electromagnetic flow from the motion.
Why Charles F Brush invented the wind turbine?
charles f bush wanted to make a wind turbine because he wanted to save energy and not make electricity with water but with a wind turbine
Uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine?
A windmill uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine. This is a natural way to make energy and keep it for future use.
How hydropwer is formed?
when water from a wind turbine flows rapidly.
What is a sources of alternative fuels?
wind powered generators (power from the wind) water powered generators(power from water) solar panels (power from the sun)
