Well, darling, wind turbines are about as endothermic as a snowman in a sauna. They convert kinetic energy from the wind into electrical energy, so technically they're not really reacting with anything to be considered exothermic. So, in simpler terms, they're just busy turning wind into power without all the drama of chemical reactions.
What else can I help you with?
What direction do wind turbines face in a southerly wind direction?
Wind turbines typically face into the wind direction, so in a southerly wind direction, the turbines would face north. This position allows them to capture the most wind and generate the maximum amount of energy.
How is wind used directly?
For examples in wind turbines or wind mills.
Where have wind turbines been used successfully in the UK?
Britain has the largest offshore wind farm in the world, the 175-turbines of the London Array wind farm, off the Kentcoast.
How much fossil fuels can wind turbines use in one day?
Wind turbines do not use any fossil fuels to operate as they generate electricity from the wind. The amount of electricity generated depends on the wind speed and turbine efficiency, not on fossil fuel consumption.
What is the minimum wind speed to turn the blades of a wind turbine?
Wind turbines are built to wind range specifications, so the answer varies. GE and Gamesa, to name two manufacturers, have introduced wind turbines that can start in lower winds, as low as 5 miles per hour. These wind turbines have lower top end ranges and generate less energy than wind turbines designed for higher wind ranges. Wind turbines typically cut in at 7-9 miles per hour. Some wind turbines are designed for very low wind conditions and will start in winds of 2-4 miles per hour. These are only useful in the very lowest of winds. Many industrial-scale wind turbines require power from the grid to start turning, typically around their face-plate generation capacity for a few minutes to overcome inertia of the blades. Compared to hours, days and often weeks of generation, this is a trivial energy requirement. It's further offset by wind farms starting up in increments. Wind farms feed energy into the very local grid. As the first wind turbine starts generating power, that power is available to other wind turbines. A wind farm will have the later starting wind turbines starting with the energy from the earlier wind turbines. Other answer: The latest models supposedly can start at about 5 miles per hour wind speed, but most start at around 8 miles per hour, though it is debatable whether a really useful amount of energy can be generated at these low speeds. The turbines also need a very large electrical 'kick-start' from the National Grid to get them into action, and a large amount of power is also required to brake them when the wind speed hits around 50-55 miles per hour, which is their upper safety limit.
What are some of the different designs of wind turbines?
country side wind turbines and modern turbines
What does wind turbines do?
A wind turbines uses the wind to power an electricity generator.
What is a common type of wind turbine?
Horizontal axis wind turbines, modern wind turbines, vertical axis turbines.
What are wind turbines made?
Wind energy is made by spinning turbines. The wind spins the wind turbines and they generate energy.
How many wind turbines are there in Michigan?
100134444 wind turbines are in michigan.
How tall can wind turbines get?
Wind turbines can be up to 262 feet high.
How many wind turbines are in the contary?
there are 2757 wind turbines in great Britain
Are there any wind turbines in Massachusetts?
Yes. There are lots of wind turbines in MA.
How many wind turbines are there in a wind farm?
The amount of wind turbines in a wind farm can vary from one farm to another. They can have as few as five or as many as 150 wind turbines. One of the largest wind farms is Alta Wind Energy center in Kern County, California. It has over 4,800 wind turbines.
What is the output of wind turbines in relation to voltage?
do wind turbines produce 11000 volts
How do wind turbines workfor real or else?
'Or else' what? Wind turbines make electricity.
Which one of these is a renewable energy wind turbines coal oil or gas?
Wind turbines.
