Mini wind turbine
They are collectively known as "Wind Farms".
solar wind hydro are all possibilities if living in the mountains. Maybe solar is not the best but a wind turbine or water turbine would be possible. Depends on where you live and is water available is it windy etc
Yes most power stations do use heat to generate electricity. Heat energy of the fuel (e.g. burning coal, burning oil, nuclear fission) is utilized to heat water present in the boiler. This heating generates steam, which is then utilized to run the turbine. However some power stations get the energy to generate electricity without using heat (e.g. hydroelectric dams, wind power, sea wave power, solar cell generation systems).
The white fans that make electricity are called wind turbines. Wind turbines are devices that convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy through the use of rotating blades. When the wind blows, it causes the blades to spin, which in turn drives a generator to produce electricity. Wind turbines are commonly used to generate renewable energy from wind power.

Wind turbines require wind to generate electricity. If the wind is not blowing or is too weak, the turbine will not be able to generate electricity. Wind speed and consistency play a crucial role in the operation of wind turbines.
No it is powered by water. The flow of the water generates electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to generate the electricity

Lack of wind is the main disadvantage.
Wind turbines need wind to produce electricity. When the wind is too slow or too strong, the turbine may not generate electricity efficiently. Additionally, maintenance and grid connection issues can also affect the turbine's ability to generate electricity consistently.
The amount of wind energy generated by a wind turbine in one year depends on factors like the turbine's size, location, and average wind speed. On average, a typical wind turbine with a capacity of 2-3 MW can generate around 5-8 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity in a year.
A mini wind turbine can generate power by converting the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power through its rotor blades. The rotating blades spin a shaft inside the turbine, which is connected to a generator that produces electricity. This electricity can then be stored in batteries or fed directly into a power grid.
Yes, when a wind turbine stops turning, it stops generating electricity. Wind turbines require wind to move their blades, which in turn spin a rotor connected to a generator to produce electricity. Without wind, the turbine cannot generate power.
Air/wind can turn a fan or windmill that is connected to a generator in the same way that water is converted to steam in order to turn a turbine. Air, and more specifically wind, is used to power windmills, that cause a turbine to turn, and generate electricity.
