Are wind farms and wind turbines the same thing?
No. A wind farm is a series of devices which generate power from wind currents
Why do wind turbines not generate electricity all the time?
cause there isnt always strong windThe wind doesn't blow all the time.Wind turbines have to be part of a larger plan to generate electricity from different sources.
What is wind wind energy's weakness?
The problem with wind energy is that it is usually generated via wind turbines. Wind turbines take a lot of energy to make, and unfortunately, it uses more than it will generate in it's lifetime.
What is the defintion of wind energy?
Electricity derived from wind action. So windmills or wind turbines which rotate when there is wind present generate electricity.
What is the US's ranking in the world for generating electricity from wind?
As of mid 2008, the U.S. is first for generating electricity from wind turbines, before Germany and Spain. the wind turbines get winds kinetic energy and generate it into electricity.
What are wind turbines made?
Wind energy is made by spinning turbines. The wind spins the wind turbines and they generate energy.
What do windturbines do?
Wind turbines rotate in a circle in the wind and generate electricity
Are wind turbines used to generate electricity from the wind?
Yes. They are hazardous to birds, but the wind propels them.
What are the differences between hydroelectric energy and wind energy?
Hydroelectric energy uses water to turn large turbines in damns to generate electricity, while wind energy uses wind to turn wind turbines to generate electricity.
What can be used to generate electricity but are useful only when the wind blows consistently?
wind turbines, wind mills.
Are wind farms and wind turbines the same thing?
No. A wind farm is a series of devices which generate power from wind currents
What are wind turbines being used for in Canada?
Many provinces like Alberta generate a significant amount of power to the grid by using wind turbines.
What is the environmental cost of using wind turbines?
Wind turbines generate energy using wind power. This does not affect the surrounding environment, therefore their environmental cost would be minimal.
Why do wind turbines not generate electricity all the time?
cause there isnt always strong windThe wind doesn't blow all the time.Wind turbines have to be part of a larger plan to generate electricity from different sources.
How does wind power produce energy?
They are used to turn the blades of large wind turbines, which generate electricity.
What is a system of many wind turbines which work together to generate electricity?
They are collectively known as "Wind Farms".
What is wind wind energy's weakness?
The problem with wind energy is that it is usually generated via wind turbines. Wind turbines take a lot of energy to make, and unfortunately, it uses more than it will generate in it's lifetime.
