No set size. Can be anything from a rotor sized like a bike wheel like you see on some yachts to really huge structures

What is the big machine to produce energy from wind?

The big machine used to produce energy from wind is called a wind turbine. Wind turbines have large blades that turn when the wind blows, generating electricity through a rotor connected to a generator. This clean and renewable energy source is used to power homes, businesses, and communities.


How does a wind tubine work?

Think of a motor, A generator is basically the oppisite. Wind turns a rotor, ( the thing the blades are bolted to) rotor turns a gearbox ( which increases speed and decreaces torque) now a high speed shaft is connected to a generator to pruduce electicity and sent to a frequincy convertor to match power grid (too complicated to explain) there it is in a nut shell.


How big is a wind farm?

The size of a wind farm can vary greatly depending on the number of turbines it has. Small wind farms may have just a handful of turbines covering a few acres, while large wind farms can span across thousands of acres with hundreds of turbines. The size of a wind farm is usually determined by factors such as wind resource availability, land availability, and electricity demand.


Why are wind farms so big?

Wind farms are typically large in order to harness more wind energy and generate more electricity. By having a greater number of wind turbines spread over a wider area, wind farms can capture more wind, which leads to higher energy production. Additionally, building larger wind farms can also help reduce the overall cost of generating electricity from wind power.


Where can you find wind energy?

Wind energy is found from cow flatulence where it is very big and strong for the wind can knock you down. The energy is then transmitted through a series of tubes that connect the wind to your home for a nice cool breeze throughout the home.
