In any machine some energy is always lost as heat. In a wind turbine most of this will be created by friction between parts.

∙ 11y agoWind turbines are not 100% efficient due to factors such as air resistance, mechanical losses in the turbine components, inefficiencies in the generator, and variability in wind speed. The Betz limit also imposes a theoretical maximum efficiency of 59.3% for converting kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical energy.
Wind turbines are generally efficient at converting wind energy into electricity, with modern turbines achieving around 40-50% efficiency. Factors such as wind speed, turbine design, and maintenance can impact efficiency. Additionally, placement of turbines in areas with consistent and strong winds can further enhance their efficiency.
No, nuclear generators are not 100 percent efficient. They typically have an efficiency rate of around 30-40%, which means that 30-40% of the energy from the nuclear reactions is converted into electricity, while the rest is lost as heat.
The blades on a wind turbine can range from around 100 to 330 feet in length, depending on the size of the turbine. Larger turbines typically have longer blades to capture more wind energy.
Wind generation refers to the process of using wind turbines to convert wind energy into electricity. Wind turbines use the force of the wind to rotate blades, which then turn a generator to produce electricity. Wind generation is a renewable energy source that does not produce greenhouse gas emissions.
Wind energy is obtained by harnessing the kinetic energy of moving air to generate electricity. This is typically done using wind turbines, which have blades that spin when the wind blows, activating a generator to produce energy. Wind energy is a renewable resource as long as the wind keeps blowing.
Basically, almost NO physical process is 100% efficient.

Thanet Offshore Wind Farm has 100 x 3MW turbines.
It Just depends on who Built the Turbine, far-en turbines use more co2 than turbines made near you.

because they are not proper

Some energy is lost to friction.
There is a way but not so 100 percent, breed cool fire and soccer you can get wind dragon because I breed the two dragons I got wind dragon
becaus ethey have friction
Wind turbines are usually 100-120 m high above the ground.The height is usually fixed based on the diameter of the blades.But if the height increses the available wind power increases yielding more power.But the cost also increases.So based on the diameter of blades height is decided.usually for a 80m dia blades the height ranges between 100-120m
