The amount of electricity a commercial windmill (or wind turbine) produces depends on several factors like its size, location, wind speed, and technology. Here's a general breakdown:
π¨ Average Output of Commercial Windmills
Onshore Wind Turbines (land-based):
Capacity: 2 to 4 megawatts (MW)
Annual Energy Output: 6 to 12 million kilowatt-hours (kWh)
β Enough to power around 1,500 to 3,000 homes annually
Offshore Wind Turbines (installed in oceans/seas):
Capacity: 6 to 15 MW or more
Annual Energy Output: 20 to 60 million kWh
β Can power 5,000 to 15,000 homes annually
βοΈ Factors Affecting Output:
Wind Speed: More wind = more energy (but too much can be dangerous).
Turbine Size: Taller turbines with longer blades catch more wind.
Location: Coastal and open plains are better.
Technology: Newer turbines are more efficient.
π§ Example:
A typical 3 MW onshore wind turbine can generate:
Around 9 million kWh per year
Thatβs enough for ~2,000 average homes
A bicycle generator can typically produce around 100-300 watts of power, depending on the speed at which the bike is pedaled. Factors that influence its output include the efficiency of the generator, the resistance in the system, and the speed at which the bike is pedaled.
The amount of airflow required for a windmill depends on the design and size of the windmill. Generally, a wind speed of at least 6-9 miles per hour is needed for a windmill to start generating electricity efficiently. The higher the wind speed, the greater the airflow and power production of the windmill.
in a way yes, in a way no. if you are talking about a windmill GENERATOR, then yes it is a generator. however, it doesn't have to be a huge white thing in the fields. as long as it has a generator connected to it, it is considered as a generator. hope i have helped
That depends on the windmill. Generally a single windmill is not sufficient, two or more wind mills are connected together to form a wind farm. Generally a single wind mill can generate power only in kilowatts, not in megewatt.
The energy produced is related to the size of the power plant, not the amount of gas it uses. The question you really want answered is "How much gas does it take to produce a kilowatt of electricity?"
The amount of energy produced by a windmill in one hour varies depending on the wind speed and the size of the windmill. On average, a small residential wind turbine can produce around 1-10 kWh of electricity in one hour. Commercial-scale wind turbines can generate significantly more energy, with some producing upwards of 1,000 kWh per hour.
On a day with calm air, a windmill will not be able to generate much power as there is not enough wind to turn its blades. The still air will cause the windmill to remain motionless and not produce any energy.
Depends what windmill it is.
it weights the size of ur head
The windmill would consume as much, or more energy than it could produce making it a unneeded and energy consuming device. There would be no advantage to this situation.
The weight of a windmill can vary depending on its size and design. A small residential wind turbine may weigh a few hundred pounds, while a large commercial wind turbine can weigh several tons.
It depends on the size of the windmill and its power output. A ten-kilowatt windmill costs about $40,000 (minus government rebates etc...in california, you can pay as little as $20,000 after rebates). Such a windmill will pay off itself in electricity generated in less than 15 years (faster if you can get paid for feeding electricity back to the grid), and last for at least 25-30 years.
Wind speed effects how much energy a windmill produces. The faster the windmill goes, the more energy it produces.
As much as it costs

The ratio of output force to input force is known as mechanical advantage. It represents how much a machine multiplies the input force to produce the output force.
