How big are the blades of a windturbine?
There are wind turbine towers that are as tall as 262 feet, installed in Texas, according to a scientific paper titled, "LARGE SCALE DEPLOYMENT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY BY COMBINING WIND FARMS WITH SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANTS."
How do turbines work?
A simple turbine.Air is drawn into the engine continuously and compressed by a series of rotating blades. Fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber and burnt increasing the gas temperature to around 1200C.The hot high pressure gas expands through a second set of blades mounted on the same shaft as the compressor blades. The energy of the gas is partially expended powering the compressor, but has a residual energy which is either expended as a hot jet (resulting in thrust) or which drives a further independent set of blades to power a propeller or other device.see http://www.rolls-royce.com/education/schools/how_things_work/journey02/index.html

What grade of stainless steel is best for use in salt water?
316, A rugged, highly corrosion resistant, low magnetic stainless used in chemical plants worldwide. Best grade for salt water and marine applications.
What are the disadvantages of agricultural mechanization?
Machines can be very expensive to purchase. Size is everything as well: machines can be too big to be used on a small farm, if one wants a big tractor and all the implements that come with it.
Fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants both heat water in order to turn?
Steam turbines, which then themselves turn generators.Nearly every method for generating electricity at commercial scales uses turbines at some point (though they may be wind, steam, or water turbines).
What is is the most common source of mechanical energy used in commercial power plants?
Steam turbines
What fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants both heat water in order to turn on?
Turbines
Where are turbines used?
Power plants
What is found in both nuclear and conventional power plants?
Turbines.
What type of combustion engine would you classify steam turbines used in power plants?
Steam turbines are external combustion engines.
What plants used to make electricity from dams?
Power plants. Not a plant like a tree or a shrub- it is an industrial structure that uses the weight of falling water to spin turbines. The turbines spin electrical generators.
How can power plants utilize the tides?
They use turbines to make tides or waves.
Where are all of the turbines?
Turbines range in size from the very small air driven turbines in dentists drills to massive units in power plants. The term includes windmills and jet engines, vacuum cleaners and kids' toys.
