What device has fanlike blades that converts energy from various sources to electrical energy?
Sounds like a turbine to me.
How do windmills catch the wind?
The blades are shaped like air plane propellers and use the airs force to push on the shape of the blades.
What part of a wind turbine provides motion to convert into electricity?
The blades. Wind passes over the blades creating lift (just like an aircraft wing) which causes the rotor to turn and the wind power to convert to electricity.
How is wind energy used to generate electricity?
Wind energy is used to generate electricity in a manner similar to the way water is used for the same purpose. The wind turns the blades of a giant turbine, which looks like a big fan, and the turbine turns a shaft. When the shaft turns it spins a generator which causes it to make electricity.
How does wind power generate electricity?
Wind energy (Kinetic) is transformed into electrical energy (Potential) with the use of a turbine-generator. The wind turns the blades of a wind turbine. These blades then turn a generator, something which uses magnets (specifically magnetic flux) to create electrical energy. As electrical energy is a form of Potential energy, the energy has been converted from Kinetic energy (the turning of the blades) into Potential energy (also known as "voltage") by the generator.More detailsA generator is a coil of wire surrounded by magnets. When the coil spins or the magnets spin, electricity is created. You need something to cause it to spin. In your car the gas engine does. At a hydro-electric dam, falling water that drives the turbines' blades. At a coal-fired power plant, expanding steam drives the turbines which in turn drive the generators. And in a wind generator, the wind turning the propeller blades drive the generator.A wind generator makes electricity just like any generator: the fan blades drive a turbine which turns the generator. The amount of power (wattage) produced depends on several things including the speed of the wind, the size of the propeller blades and the size of the generator.It is the same process, just a different power source.A wind turbine - as any turbine, is an energy converter. It converts wind energy into mechanical energy and then electrical energy. Some so-called direct-drive turbines use magnets to keep it running even when there's no wind. Now direct-drive turbines are used. The number of blades do not matter (too many blades = too much turbulence), The span of the blades make more power. That's the smarter way to make more power. In 1985 blades had a span of 30 ft. Now they get to over 200 ft.
How the water turbine blades from hydro power?
when water passes thru a dam, it turns the turbine blades, the turbine blades turn a huge metal rod like stick and the rod turns and powers an generator.
What do the blades of a wind turbine look like?
They look like propellers, or fans.
The rotor blades of a wind turbine are like the wings of a?
FanDragon flyHelicopter
How does a Ljungstrom steam turbine work and look like?
Ljungstrom Turbine is a Radial Outflow Steam Turbine with two counter rotating discs. Blades are mounted in circles one bigger than the other. Blades of one rotor work as nozzles for the other rotor blades. This turbine design is very forgiving on wet steam. It is said that the turbine design had limitations on scaling up above 30 MW and hence could not compete with Axial Flow Turbines.

Why there is no use of saltwater to produce electricity?
in hydroelectric generation system.you use a turbine which have many blades like wings,water comes from the nozzels to the blades and blades are made by an mettalic material,if you use the salted water there will be more rusting.
What are the five parts of the wind turbine?
Tower, blades, nacelle (casing around the inside parts of the turbine), hub (the front of the nacelle/looks like the centre of the blades), gear box transmission (not needed or included in all wind turbines), generator (to turn the electricty from kinetic to electrical).
What does turbines mean?
A wind turbine is like a giant fan that produces energy from the wind
Turbine blade materials?
I'm sure they are proprietary, but based on something like inconel. Oh, just saw this was under WIND power. I was thinking gas or steam turbine. Wind turbine blades are generally composites. Fiberglass/epoxy or carbon fiber/epoxy layups, like airplane propellers.
What kind of materials make good wind turbine blades?
Ideally, they should be constructed of light weight materials like reinforced aluminum
What kinds of materials would make good turbine blades?
Ideally, they should be constructed of light weight materials like reinforced aluminum
