What else can I help you with?
How can wind be turnned into electricity?
Wind turbines with electric generators
What are the main ways we produce electricity in NZ?
Hydro electric generators wind powered generators geothermal generators
What involve the conversion of gravitational potential energy into electric energy - wind electric generators or hydroelectric power plants?
Hydroelectric power plants convert GPE into electric energy. When the water flows from the higher point to the lower point, hydroelectric turbines convert the energy of the flowing water into energy.
Where can vertical wind generators be found?
Vertical wind generators (turbines) are used in the midwest, where the wind is a major factor. There are international wind farms which supply electricity from the power of these generators.
Are wind generators really cost effective?
Yes, the turbines are devices the convert kinetic energy in wind and transforming it into the mechanical energy of a rotating shaft. This is converted into energy. So using wind for our energy is very cost effective. Typically, wind generators will lower your electric bill by at least 50%. In some cases, if your turbine produces power exceeding your household usage, your electric company may purchase the additional power from you.
Who sells wind generators of at least 1 megawatt?
Some of the largest manufacturers of wind generators are:General Electric (GE Wind)Gamesa (A Spanish Company with global operations)MitsubishiSiemens
In Arctic climate what can be used to provide energy to the equipment in absence of sun Electric energy is out of the question. Generators get frozen and have to be manned?
What about using the power of the wind in this area.
How do power companies prduce electricity?
Via big generators. Generators are rotating machines that output electric power when the shaft is spun by an external source, sort of like electric motors in reverse. The generators are driven by many things: water turbines, which are driven by water from a dam Steam turbines, which are driven by steam from boilers heated by burning oil or coal, or nuclear power, or geothermal power. Wind turbines, driven by wind Solar cells And probably a few other things... Actually there is one source of electric power not driven by a generator, and that is fuel cells that produce electricity directly by chemical reaction.
Can wind power a factory?
Yes. In some parts of the UK, wind generators power small industrial estates.
Where does the energy for your TV come from?
From the electric plug. This, in turn, comes from some generators, which may run on coal, diesel, nuclear power, wind energy, hydroelectric energy, etc.
Are there backup power generators available that don't run on gasoline?
Yes there are back up generators that don't carry gasoline. We have the gas and propane generators; however, there are alternatives such as wind and solar power.
How people can use the wind to make electricity?
In the very same manner as we do in case of deisel electric generators.
