What kind of machine uses wind to produce power?
A wind turbine is a machine that uses wind to produce power. The kinetic energy of the wind rotates the turbine's blades, which then drive a generator to generate electricity.
What does wind mean as in energy?
A wind machine called windmills is powered by the energy of the wind. It is designed to convert the energy of the wind into more useful forms using rotating blades.
Why does wind turbines have long blades when short blades go faster?
Long Blades Catch More Wind Then Short Blades
What are the blades on a wind turbine called?
Blades
Why should wind turbine blades be light?
to allow the blades to begin rotation in low wind speed, heavier blades need higher wind speed to start them.
What kind of energy of wind turns the blades of a windmill?
The kinetic energy of the air molecules in the 'wind' is transferred to the blades of the windmill as kinetic energy of the moving blades of the windmill.
Does a wind turbine have to have 3 blades?
no
How do you convent wind to energy?
The short and simple answer is this: A wind turbine consists of blades; similar to those of a helicoptor. These blades are attached to a generator. As wind causes the blades to move, the blades turn the generator to produce electricity. As to how a generator works; I'll have to leave that up to someone else to explain.
Can the wind speed up an electric powered wind turbine?
No, there is a govern that is connected to the pitch control of the blades. As the wind speed increases the blade pitch becomes courser. As the blades become more course there is less surface area presented to the wind so the blades slow down.
How many blades do most wind turbines have?
There are 3 blades3 blades on each turbine
What are wind turbine blades built from?
Newer blades are made of aluminum and composite materials
Why do wind mills have blades?
because they will not spin with out them
