A rooftop wind turbine can be installed to harness the power of the wind similar to the way solar panels use the sun's power. This would lower the conventional amount of electricity you would normally use, thus lowering your power bill.
The rooftop wind turbine is different from other wind energy devices in that it relies on a small motor in addition to wind power, whereas other devices rely only on wind power.
A rooftop wind turbine produces wind power, and can reach speeds between two and 45 miles per hour. It is a better alternative to air conditioning, and saves lots of energy.
A wind turbine can be purchased on sale for as low as $699 for a new 550 watt. Prices vary depending on size of course. Other prices are from $799 to $7999.00.
It was first made in the us by a man named Charles F. Brush in 1888
Yes if it rains it will leak into the attic or overhead space until it is saturated then it will leak thru the ceiling.
A wind turbine makes wind for scientific study.
a wind turbine generates electricity for or use
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.
A wind turbine is like a giant fan that produces energy from the wind
wind is not created by the turbine but wind that passes through the turbine causes it to turn, and the faster the turbine spins the more energy is created that can be turned into electricity and other resources. Hope This Helps :)
Another name for a windmill is the wind turbine
A wind turbine moves when the wind blows against its blades, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the blades drives a generator inside the turbine, converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy.
