Newton's third law governs in the turning of gears. Basically a torque is formed due to a coupling force. Now a large gear is joined with the pivoted point of the blades. When the blade turns the gear turns too turning other gears as well.

Now why i said a large gear turning small gears is that for one rotation of a large gear a small gear does more rotation. So a small gust of wind turning the large gear to 1/100 th rotation turns the smaller gears to maybe 5 rotations.

Now to the amazing part. Getting to produce the electricity. The gears turning is connected to a dynamo. The dynamo is responsible for producing the required electricity. And that is the total analogy of a wind turbine.

How do you calculate rpm of a wind turbine?

You can calculate the rotation speed (rpm) of a wind turbine by dividing the rotational speed of the generator (usually given in revolutions per minute, or rpm) by the gear ratio of the turbine. The gear ratio is the ratio of the number of teeth on the turbine's gear to the number of teeth on the generator's gear. This formula allows you to determine the turbine's rpm based on the generator's rpm and the gear ratio.


How does gear ratio affect torque in a mechanical system?

The gear ratio in a mechanical system affects torque by changing the relationship between the input and output speeds of the system. A higher gear ratio increases torque at the expense of speed, while a lower gear ratio increases speed at the expense of torque.


What is the relationship between the energy of a gear spinning and its impact on the overall efficiency of a mechanical system?

The energy of a gear spinning affects the overall efficiency of a mechanical system by transferring power and controlling the speed and direction of movement. If the gear spinning requires a lot of energy, it can decrease the efficiency of the system. Conversely, if the gear spinning efficiently uses energy, it can improve the overall efficiency of the system.


Which of two gears will turn faster than the other?

The gear with the smaller number of teeth will turn faster than the gear with the larger number of teeth. This is due to the relationship between gear size and rotational speed in a gear system.


If the driven shaft and the drive are at the same angle but turn in opposite directions the gearing system is called a?

If the driven shaft and drive turn in opposite directions, the gearing system is a bevel gear system using a pair of bevel gears.

What is the use of turning gear main motor and piggy motor in steam turbine?

The turning gear main motor and piggy motor in a steam turbine are used for maintaining the turbine's rotation during startup and shutdown phases. The turning gear main motor provides slow rotation of the turbine shaft to ensure proper lubrication and prevent thermal stress on the components. The piggy motor, often a smaller auxiliary motor, assists in this process by allowing for fine adjustments or providing additional support during low-speed operations. Together, they help maintain the integrity and longevity of the turbine system.


How does a wind turbine operate?

The Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) is broadly divided into three parts. • Tower • Nacelle • Rotor The tower of wind turbine generator supports the nacelle and the rotor. The nacelle contains the key components of the wind turbine, including the gear box, the electrical generator, control panels etc. The rotor blades convert the kinetic energy of the wind to electrical energy through gear box and generator. The hub of the rotor is attached to the gear box. The gear box has a low speed shaft for its input. The high-speed shaft of gear box rotates at approximately 1500 revolutions per minute (RPM) to drive the electrical generator system. The heart of the wind turbine is its controller, which is responsible for the operation of the whole turbine. The embedded software in the controller monitors the various inputs and other condition and controls/actuates the outputs accordingly.


What does a gear box on a wind turbine do?

The gear box increaces the rotational speed from about 30-60. The gear box is very costly and heavy.


What is warm rolling of steam turbine?

You don't start a large turbine cold. Typically, the lubrication system is started, the turning gear is engaged and warming steam (a small amount of steam, not enough to turn the turbine) is admitted to the turbine to warm and initially expand the shaft and casing. If this isn't done, thermal shock from the admission of high pressure superheated steam into the cold turbine could damage it.

What is a turbine barring gear?

When a large turbine rotor stops it will still be hot and will tend to bend in the middle if left to cool normally. To prevent this the barring gear will turn the rotor slightly at given intervals during the cool down period.
