They do install wind turbines on aircraft. The RAT (ram air turbine) is used when emergency power is needed and the engines and auxiliary power unit are non-functional. See link.

How do wind farms work?

wind farms are built and turbines are put up. As the wind blows it turns the turbines generating electricity.


Where do you put wind energy?

you could use wind turbines on wind farms


Are there any detrimental effects when wind under goes its transformation when it is put to practial use?

When wind is harnessed for practical use like generating electricity through wind turbines, there can be some detrimental effects. These may include noise pollution from the turbines, visual impact on landscapes, and potential harm to wildlife like birds and bats. Additionally, large-scale wind energy projects can sometimes cause disruption to local ecosystems and communities.


Can wind farms be put anywhere?

No, they have to be put outside and in places where winds blow frequently, but not too hard. There is about a minimum requirement of 15 kph winds for efficiency. Further many places have laws regulating where such turbines can be put. Eg, special permits are needed to put wind turbines in or around protected lands.


Do paper airplanes act differently in wind?

Paper airplanes act differently when wind acurress. And it may be hard to fly. UNLESS it is flying in the way of the wind,which allows it to "flow on air."If you put a paper airplane in a mild, suttle wind way, it will go smoothly. But with rough, ragged windswill lead to a fatal crash of a piece of paper.


Does coal produce more energy than wind turbines?

No. Coal generates more than half of the energy in the United States while wind power generates less than 1%. When talking about the amount of power (megawatts) produced, for example, the Nysted Wind Farm in Denmark has 72 turbines and a capacity of 165.6 megawatts. Assuming that 40 percent of that capacity can actually be realized, those turbines put out an average of about 66 megawatt hours in an hour. Producing enough power to account for all of what is now put out by coal-fired plants in the U.S. would require over 250,000 individual turbines.


How many wind turbins can be put on 15 acers?

The number of wind turbines that can be installed on 15 acres depends on several factors, including the size of the turbines and local regulations. Generally, small to medium-sized wind turbines require about 0.5 to 1 acre each, while larger turbines may need more space due to their height and safety setbacks. On average, you could fit between 15 to 30 smaller turbines on 15 acres, but it’s important to consult local guidelines and conduct a site assessment for precise planning.


What is a disadvantage of using wind turbines rather than burning fossil fuels?

Wind power is unreliable. Fossil fuels can be used in greater quantities when in higher demand; we don't get to pick when the wind is effective. You can only put wind turbines where there is a stable amount of wind constantly. For example, a place shielded from winds would not make much power at all, causing in a power deficit.


What is the benifets of wind turbines?

The Benifets of wind turbines are that they are a clean source of energy that does not cause "Global Warming" because it does not put out carbon emissions. It produces little or me pollution. It makes use of renewable energy sources. It will also get us away from dependance on fossil fuels that are non-renewable resources.


Why wind energy is the best?

it is the cheapest source and available everywhere in abundant


Why would put wind turbines on the mountains?

Mountains are often windy due to the topography, which makes them suitable for wind energy generation. Placing wind turbines on mountains allows for harnessing stronger and more consistent winds, maximizing electricity production. Additionally, mountainous areas are less populated, reducing potential conflicts with local communities and increasing efficiency in energy distribution.


How much eletricity does 500 wind turbines put out?

Depends on the type and size of the wind turbine and in which area they are set up. Am modern Wind turbine with a + 100 m Rotor and a base over 140 meters high will produce 3+ Megawatts easily
