yes they should be heavy... if they weren't heavy the wind would probably blow them over.

Should wind turbine blades be heavy or light?
Light. It needs to be able to spin fast. Suppose you had a heavy blade, it would never spin. You might think it needs the extra weight to give it speed, but the wind turbines do not work off momentum, the work off the wind.
What is the point in wind turbines?
There is no point in wind turbines
How do Wind turbines capture wind?
The wind turbines collect the wind's kinetic energy.
What are advantages of wind and wind turbines?
because wind and wind turbines turn in to energy and to make electricity!
Do wind turbines depend the sun?
Kinda-sorta. Wind turbines rely on the wind, but what powers the wind is the sun.
Should wind turbines be built in Vermont?
Yes because wind turbines are alternate energy sources

What are some of the different designs of wind turbines?
country side wind turbines and modern turbines
How do Wind turbines capture wind?
The wind turbines collect the wind's kinetic energy.
Would wind turbines be an option on north pole?
It depends if the people who make the wind turbines use batteries. Because without batteries, wind energy cannot be stored. They would also have to be very heavy duty batteries so that they don't freeze. Most likely wind turbines on the North Pole are not such a good idea
What does wind turbines do?
A wind turbines uses the wind to power an electricity generator.
What is a common type of wind turbine?
Horizontal axis wind turbines, modern wind turbines, vertical axis turbines.
What are wind turbines made?
Wind energy is made by spinning turbines. The wind spins the wind turbines and they generate energy.
What are advantages of wind and wind turbines?
because wind and wind turbines turn in to energy and to make electricity!
How many wind turbines are there in Michigan?
100134444 wind turbines are in michigan.
Will the expense of buying a rooftop wind turbine be worth it?
Not as of yet. The technology is just not there yet. Wind turbines are expensive, noisy and heavy. Popular Mechanics magazine has recently featured some good articles regarding wind turbines, if you'd like to read more.
