You'll need a propeller attached to a generator, preferably mounted on something to enable it to catch the most wind.

What type of current does the wind stir up?

The wind stirs up alternating current (AC) when it rotates the rotor blades of a wind turbine. The mechanical energy from the wind is converted into electrical energy in the generator of the wind turbine, producing AC electricity.


How much power does a wind turbine create?

The Power Generated by a Wind Turbine entirely depends on the capacity of the turbine which is installed.. there are turbines ranging from 1 watt to 10 MW that can be installed in a wind farm The installation of the turbine depends on the Wind Potential of the area.


What makes a wind turbine move?

A wind turbine moves when the wind blows against its blades, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the blades drives a generator inside the turbine, converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy.


Why is it important that the rotor is as high up in the sky as possible on a wind turbine?

Placing the rotor higher up in the sky allows the turbine to access stronger and more consistent wind speeds, increasing energy production. Additionally, higher rotor placement reduces the impact of turbulence and obstacles on the turbine's efficiency.


What two energy transfers take place when a wind turbine is working?

When a wind turbine is working, mechanical energy is transferred from the wind to the turbine blades, causing them to rotate. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy through the generator in the turbine, which can be used to power homes and businesses.

Where do humans collect wind?

People have constructed wind turbines to harness (not collect) the energy from wind(s). In some areas, there are wind turbine "farms" with windmills set up across hillsides and the landscape.


How large of a property should a small business have if they are interested in getting a small wind turbine?

Generally speaking the property size does not need to be very large, e.g. an acre of land, to set up and install a small wind turbine. The bigger issue is making sure that the property codes and local laws allow you to have a small wind turbine.

What does Wind Turbine mean?

A wind turbine is like a giant fan that produces energy from the wind


How is wind created in a wind turbine?

wind is not created by the turbine but wind that passes through the turbine causes it to turn, and the faster the turbine spins the more energy is created that can be turned into electricity and other resources. Hope This Helps :)
