What kinds of materials would make good wind turbine blades?

What is a machine powered by rotating blades?
Assuming "powered by" means produces power not uses power a partial list would be:wind turbinesair turbines (dentist's drills)steam turbineshydroelectric power turbineswater wheels at millssome strandbeestsjet engines
How long and how thick are wind turbine blades?
Wind turbines blades are about 15 meters long (average wind turbine) The thickness of the blade depends on the length of the blade. The width is about 10% of the length, in this case, would be about 1.5 meters thick.
Should wind turbine blades be heavy or light?
Light. It needs to be able to spin fast. Suppose you had a heavy blade, it would never spin. You might think it needs the extra weight to give it speed, but the wind turbines do not work off momentum, the work off the wind.
Do wind turbines take energy out of air?
No. But the probably take energy out of wind. Turbine blades use the effect of drag to produce the energy, so the blades must slow down the wind somewhat. Although it would probably be to small of amount to measure.
Why birds hit onaeroplane would be disastrous?
One example would be :-if the bird was of substantial size the impact of a bird in an aeroplanes turbine system would result in a few instances as follows- the impact of the birds flight path, speed and direction multiplied by the planes flight path, speed and direction could result in the turbine blades becoming damaged and bent off of the axles axis which would result in the blades being forces through the surrounding sheetmetal causing shards of metal and debree that would cause the engine to explode and potentially destroy that said wing entirely.- another possibility would be the impact could throw the propeller turbine blades into the surrounding sheetmetal and cause a "Frozen" effect on the turbine locking them into place, which would lock down the engine and could not propell the plane forward and would either cause the plane to go into a spin as one engine will be working one not, another would be the plane will lose altitude and need an emergency landing to be made, or the sudden lock up of the turbine would cause the engine to ignite due to inscreased pressure and heat and fuel lines would ignite either taking the wing with an explosion or the whole plan in the same instance.these are worst case scenario's of course as many planes will receive no damage from birds in the turbine blades as some are designed with some minimal debree in mind to function as intended.hope this helps with your question.-Cheers
Would a turbine be a chemical or physical change?
Turbine is not a change, a turbine is a mechanical device.
What are the key differences between HCS and bimetal saw blades, and which one would be more suitable for cutting through tough materials?
The key differences between HCS and bimetal saw blades lie in their composition. HCS blades are made of high carbon steel, while bimetal blades consist of two different metals bonded together. Bimetal blades are more suitable for cutting through tough materials due to their enhanced durability and heat resistance.
What materials are needed to build a wind turbine?
The materials that are needed to build a wind turbine are quite basic. You need some PVC sheets, glue (*preferably white*), screws, washers, dowels, magnets, and wire. Its quite simple. ADDED: Note the question does not cover application, just the turbine, though that answer seems to assume it is to rotate an electrical generator. It would also help to have at least some understanding of how to design turbines (and alternators?), and then the tools and skills to cut, shape and join those materials to obtain the desired result. Good Luck though - it would be an interesting, and if successful, satisfying project!
Why would a turbine be used instead of a water wheel?
a turbine would be used instead of a water wheel because a turbine does not use as much energy and it uses the wind to generate it.
"How do you make a Wind Turbine model"?
This would sound very complicated for me. I actually find projects boring. The materials to construct a Wind Turbine model is cardboards, glue, ruler, scissor, pencil, insulation tape, safety pins and decorations(personal preferences). I find this project hard to do, but other's think it's fun. I only know the materials, but not the steps.
How is hydroelectric form?
Well, how was hydroelectricity formed. First of all people built dams in order to make a reservoir ( man made lake). All the water from the reservoir would then go down the penstock ( a water tube). The penstock would then lead into the turbine ( fan with spinning blades ) . Water would then strike the blade and cause the blade to rotate. The rotating motion would then cause electricity. The generator would guide the turbine through the way. The electricity would then get sent through the power lines.
