The propellers on windmills face the wind. The stands holding the propellers and generators cause air turbulence. This turbulence wrecks the propellers. Replacing them gets expensive. The generators are on the other side from the propellers. That balances the unit so it makes it easy for the unit to turn when the wind shifts.

What is a group of wind machines called?
A group of wind machines is called a wind farm. Wind farms consist of multiple wind turbines that work together to generate electricity from the wind.
Where are spinning wind turbines in the US?
Wind turbines can be found in many states across the US, but some of the largest concentrations are in states with favorable wind conditions like Texas, Iowa, Oklahoma, California, and Kansas. These states have expansive wind farms that generate a significant amount of electricity from wind power.
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.
If the wind from a hurricane is blowing in your face which way is the hurricane located?
If the wind is blowing in you face, then the center of the hurricane is to your right.
How do wind farms not contribute to global warming?
Wind farms do not contribute to global warming because they generate electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy of the wind, which is a renewable energy source that does not produce greenhouse gas emissions. This contrasts with fossil fuel power plants, which release large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases when burned to produce electricity.
Why are there lots of wind turbines in a wind farm?
Modern windmills and wind turbines are equipped with devices that turn the blades to face into the wind.
Who would be against wind farms?
IM A farmer and i thinkwind farms are good as long as they are away from me and all of myanimalllsss/.
Where was wind farms invented?
Wind farms were invented in Persia.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of offshore wind farms?
Offshore wind farms produce energy which is virtually emission free. After the initial expense of purchasing the wind farms, there are minimal costs involved in producing energy. Many people are opposed to offshore wind farms as they can ruin the view of the ocean and may cause noise.
Why are wind farms built?
wind farms are built to produce electricity through wind power
Do wind farms help farms?
wind farms provide electricity. Wind farms cost more to maintain and construct than the energy that they provide. In addition they very inefficient because they only work when there is wind.
How many wind farms are there in the world?
There are many wind farms in the world. Every country has its own set of wind farms. There is no such list for all the wind farms in the world. However you can go through the list of Top 10 Biggest Wind Farms in the world in the given link. http://www.power-technology.com/features/feature-biggest-wind-farms-in-the-world-texas/
What does the wind farms run on?
Wind
Why Farms are built?
wind farms are built to produce electricity through wind power
What is one advantage offshore wind farms have over land wind farms?
Offshore winds farms are more likely to be out of sight
How do wind farms help?
wind farms provide electricity. Wind farms cost more to maintain and construct than the energy that they provide. In addition they very inefficient because they only work when there is wind.
What do wind farms and solar farms look like?
well wind farms have have wind minds and solar farm have solar panels and if i am not right you can ask your sicince teaher if i am not right
