Where are wind turbines usually placed?
Where it will have the most wind hit it obviously...usually where flat ground is apparent.
How is tidal energy gathered and collected?
turbines are placed under the water and they capture the kinetic energy of waves.
Why do you think that the wind turbines were placed in the desert of West Texas?
There is almost always at least some wind in west Texas.
How can electricity be generated by wind?
wind turbines can be placed, and the spinning of the propeller turns some magnetic thing against a coil, producing electricity.
Why are wind farms placed on hills or on coasts?
There are lots of wind turbines on the coast because the is lots of wind and if its high there is stronger wind higher up.
Why are turbines placed at the bottom of a dam?
To make hydro-electric energy.
Why are the buttons on the bottom instead of the side?
The "IQ-touch" buttons are placed on the bottom, instead of the size, so that every option is available to the user. Cooking options are not hidden or layered in confusing menus, but displayed prominently on the bottom of the unit.
Do wind turbines affect radio and television signals?
If placed in the wrong location, wind turbines can affect radio and television signals.
How do you find good places for wind turbines?
Wind turbines are normally placed at the bottom of a valley, or a hill that doesn't have trees (trees block and trap wind, reducing the wind speed) at an angle where the speed of wind and the amount of wind are the greatest so to produce the maximum amount of energy.
How do you get tidal energy?
A tide flowing from a basin into an open sea
Where are wind turbines placed?
In wide open places (and windy), and they are placed where when the winds hits one of them, the other one starts like domino's.... its placed where the wind is used again.

Why are wind turbines not placed next to one another?

Why are loads placed at the bottom of cars instead of the top?
to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible , at a given cornering speed, this offers the shortest lever that tends to roll the car
What are the environmental advantages of wind turbines?
Lower maintenance cost compared to other sources of energyCan be placed offshoreCan be placed on tops of existing structuresWind Turbines do not generate as much pollutionWind Turbines do not require any fuel sourceModular design: Manufacturing of parts can be done in assembly line like fashion. There are much fewer parts than most other power plants.Construction is faster than any other type of power plant.
