The distance at which an offshore wind turbine is no longer visible will depend on various factors such as height, atmospheric conditions, and observer's elevation. On average, a typical offshore wind turbine may become harder to see from a distance of around 20-30 miles due to the Earth's curvature and other visual obstructions.

Which area of a turbine blade contributes the most force due to low or negative pressure?

The area on the turbine blade that contributes the most force due to low or negative pressure is the suction side, which is the curved side of the blade facing away from the direction of fluid flow. This side experiences lower pressure compared to the pressure side, resulting in a net force that drives the rotation of the turbine blade.


What things are in the back of a wind turbine?

There are a few things on the backs of Wind Turbines: 1) Anemometers - wind speed sensors that help the turbine fine tune its blade pitch to be most efficient. 2) Wind Vanes - wind direction sensors that keep the turbine lined up with the wind, or turn it away from the wind when the gusts are too strong and can damage the turbine. 3) Visibility Lighting - red and white lights to meet requirements of aviation authorities for visibility.


What happens to your shadow when you move away from light?

Your shadow will become longer and less defined as you move away from the light source. If you move further away, your shadow may eventually disappear completely depending on the distance from the light source.


What do visible and invisible energy compose?

Visible energy refers to the forms of energy that are easily detectable by our senses, such as light and heat. Invisible energy includes forms like electromagnetic radiation, radio waves, and gravitational forces that are not directly perceptible to us but still play crucial roles in the functioning of the universe.

What does it mean if a star is experiencing a red shift?

redshift is what happens when visible light gets longer in wavelength, thus shifting toward the red end of the spectrum of visible light. This is a phenomenon that occurs when the light source is moving away from the observer.


What is the function of a wastegate valve?

The function of the wasegate valve is to divert exhaust gases away from the turbine in the engine system. This enables it to control the speed of the turbine.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of floating offshore windmill?

Anyone who looks at a wind atlas can see one obvious advantage of offshore wind turbines compared to any other location: there is more power in the wind offshore than just about anywhere else in the world. Another advantage to offshore wind turbines is that many of the places that use the most power -- large cities -- are relatively close to shoreline, and far away from other areas of high wind power potential -- the high mountain plateaus. One disadvantage of a floating offshore wind turbine is that there is the risk that bad weather may make it completely disappear, as happened to the Project Mustard Seed turbines. With land-based wind turbines, there is generally *something* left to salvage no matter how bad the weather gets. ... please fill in other advantages and disadvantages ...


Some stars might no longer be in existence but you still see them in the night sky why?

Stars that are no longer in existence, or dead stars, may be still visible in the night sky depending on how far away the star was from earth. Light takes time to travel, so if a star is 50 billion lightyears away from earth, and it died 25 billion years ago, due to the amount of time it takes for the light to reach our eyes, the star's light will still be visible for another 25 billion years.


Why is The moon surface visible to an observer on earth?

Its surface is visible because of how AU's (Astronomical Units) it is away from the Earth.


When the wavelength of a spectral line emitted from an object increases which end of the visible light spectrum does not move toward and what is the objects motion relative to earth?

Increasing wavelength is an indication of a Doppler shift caused by an object moving away from the viewer. Longer wavelengths (of the visible spectrum) are redder, shorter wavelengths are bluer. Objects moving away from you have a red shift, objects moving toward you have a blue shift.
