How does a propeller produce thrust?
A propeller is like a spinning wing. The airfoil shaped blades pull an airplane forward just as an airplane's wings lift it upward. The amount of thrust created by a propeller depends on how fast and at what angle its blades cut through the air. The propeller is generally powered by a combustion engine which fires pistons and turns the propeller.
How can electricity be generated by wind?
wind turbines can be placed, and the spinning of the propeller turns some magnetic thing against a coil, producing electricity.
What causes prop wash?
Prop wash is caused by a passing propeller driven aircraft. The spinning prop creates a vortex like wind that can be quite violent.
How is the thrust force created in a propeller driven plane?
By the propeller, pulling itself through the air.
Where do windmills gets it energy?
It is the opposite to the way how old airplanes were propelled. They use the propeller. When the propeller is exposed to the wind it rotates automatically. (Compare with the boat propeller and water turbine.)
How do you spell propellor?
The spelling "propellor" is a variant.The usual spelling is propeller (spinning blades to push or pull in air or water).
What is propeller shaft?
The spinning shaft from the engine to which the propeller is attached.
What does the BMW hood ornament represent?
Spinning propeller
How can electron cloud be compared with a spinning airplane propeller?
They both exist.
How can an electron cloud be compared with a spinning airplane propeller?
They both exist.
Where was the propeller in the ship?
The propeller or the "prop" or "screw" is the device that propels the vessel through the water by spinning , this is different from a jet drive, which sucks in water and shoots it out to push the vessel through the water.
Is a push propeller more efficient than a pull propeller?
A pull propeller is more efficient due to the fact it is in clean/non turbulent air.
What are reciprocating engines?
Reciprocating engines are very big engines. Instead of a motor just spinning the propeller, electric arms would move up and down circling around the propeller line spinning it. These kind of engines were used on the titanic.
What is a rotating device that push along a ship or aircraft?
a Propeller
Can a submarine move itself in space?
No. A submarine's propeller relies on the water around it for something to push against. As space is a vacuum, the propeller would have nothing to push against, ergo the submarine would have no thrust.

What is the difference between a spinning reel and a push button reel when it comes to fly fishing?
Neither a spinning real or push button type reel are used in fly fishing.
