Do wind turbines come in different shapes?

Yes, wind turbines come in different shapes and sizes depending on the design and intended use. The most common shape is the horizontal-axis turbine with three blades, but vertical-axis turbines and other designs also exist for specific applications. Different shapes can affect efficiency, performance, and cost of wind turbines.


In a wind farm why are some turbines spinning and others are not?

If some turbines are spinning and some not, I suggest the only reason could be either defective units, or units undergoing maintenance. On days with decent wind, some turbines need to shut down. Not from the high wind but because the wind turbine company has agreed to provide a certain amount of power and when they have reached it there is no point in wearing out the turbines. There is usually at least one turbine on a farm that is being maintenanced at a time.


How does a windmill turn wind into energy?

Wind Mills are used to pump water from the earth. Although some wind mills were retrofitted to produce electricity. Wind turbines have large blades that are designed to create lift to turn a rotor. In large scale turbines the rotor usually connects to a gearbox. The gearbox will then be connected to a generator. The generator similar but much larger is like the alternator in a car, produces the electricity. Then the electricity goes into a transformer then to the grid. There are a lot of different designs of wind turbines and some might not have all these components but they all have generators.

Can wind turbines control sandstorms?

No. In fact, some wind turbines automatically slow or stop in dangerous winds.


Is there a connection between wind turbines and autism in children?

Wind turbines do not cause autism. Anything, wind turbines included, that produces a continuous noise, can disturb some people, whether they are autistic or not.


Are small wind turbines an effective source of wind power?

Small wind turbines are an effective source of wind power, but a single turbine will generate power only when the wind hits it at a specific angle and strength. This is why multiple wind turbines are often used at a single site, to pick up different gusts of wind.


What does wind turbines do?
