The force of air flow will make the blade move by the principle of difference in air pressure. However to really make rotate power is applied asmotor to overcome the initial inertia otherwise it would take an extremely strong wind to make rotate. Bottom line they start as a motor until they becomes generators and not very efficient at that.

∙ 12y agoyou see if you were to put your hand near a water wheel you can feel a little suck and there are little water particles in the air so they suck them up and store them till they get bug enough then they run off the edges and it does that for each board

What is the name of the person who invented the waterwheel?
Richard Arkwright used waterwheels in the 1770s for power in his cotton mills, but waterwheels had been in use long before that. There is evidence of waterwheels in Mesopotamia 6 centuries BC. The commonest early use was for grinding grain into flour.

Where do you get waterwheels in race for radopolis in the quest on cyberchase?
you can buy them at the cybermall
How was it discovered that water could produce electricity?
Water had been used for at least 3000 years to turn waterwheels to grind grain.In the late 1700s waterwheels began to be used to provide power for the spinning machines and looms of textile plants.With the development of electrical technologies and the generator in the 1800s it became obvious that waterwheels could power generators also and generate electricity.Water turbines replaced waterwheels for turning generators as they were more efficient.As you can see, it was not a discovery but a slow development and evolution of water power technology.
Are waterwheels used today?
yes they are used in farms and you would see them rearely
What is hydraulic energy?
Hydraulic energy is an energy transfer from the water to waterwheels and mills.
Where do you find the waterwheels on cyberchase?
in the store you can buy it. there might be another way but i don't know
How long have waterwheels been used?
water wheels have been around since the romans!
Was hydro energy successful in the past?
Yes. People have been building dams and waterwheels for ages.
What was the waterwhale made out of?
The original waterwheels would have been constructed of wood. Later, wood and metal combined (metal bolts, metal plates, etc). In the later stages of development, all metal waterwheels would be built. Then we arrive at the water turbine - often used in hydro-electricity production.

How is hydorelectric power generated?
Hydroelectricity is generated by building dams or waterwheels wcitch flow through turbines to generate electricity.
