The weight of a windmill propeller can vary depending on its size and design. On average, a typical propeller for a small residential wind turbine can weigh anywhere from 30 to 150 pounds, while larger commercial wind turbine propellers can weigh several tons.
The weight of a wind turbine propeller can vary depending on its size and design, but on average, a typical propeller for a large wind turbine can weigh between 11,000 to 44,000 pounds (5,000 to 20,000 kilograms).
The weight of a windmill propeller can vary depending on its size and material. On average, a small residential wind turbine propeller can weigh between 30-50 pounds, while larger commercial wind turbine propellers can weigh several tons.
Windmills generate energy from the wind by using the motion of the air to turn the blades of the turbine. This rotational motion is then converted into electricity through a generator housed within the windmill.
Wind energy can be converted to electrical energy in a windmill. Such a device features a large propeller that can be moved into the direction of the wind. Friction with the wind will cause the propeller to rotate. The propeller is internally connected to a dynamo which converts the rotational energy into electricity.

Wind turbine blades can vary in length, but they can range from about 100 to 300 feet long. The average length of a wind turbine blade is around 150 feet.
The best propeller design is one that extracts the most kinetic energy from moving air over the greatest range of wind speeds. You would be astonished at the complexity and ambition of the math that has gone into designing them.
Wind is one of our free resources and in some areas blows up to 80% of the time. The wind is used to move large propeller blades attached to a gearbox. The gearbox is connected to a turbine to produce the electrical current. The gearbox also prevents the propeller blades from going into a runaway mode.
The most common way is for the wind to push against a Windmill, basically a large propeller mounted on a tower, which causes the propeller to spin (same principle as how an airplane propeller works, but with the wind turning the propeller, instead of the turning propeller pushing the wind). When the propeller spins, it causes a turbine generator to also spin, producing the electricity. Pretty much every kind of turbine-powered power plant (hydroelectric dam, coal-burning power plant, a nuclear reactor, or a steam engine on a ship) will work the same way, producing electricity by spinning a turbine. The main difference is how they get the energy to spin the turbine. In fact, coal, diesel (like what most ships use nowadays), and nuclear power plants all typically work by heating up water to make steam, which is then used to spin a turbine. Alternately, the wind could blow your hair around and make some static electricity to shock you with the next time you touch your hair. This method does not produce enough electricity to be useful, however.
With a generator mounted on the "turbine". The propeller spins the generator shaft.
The first wind turbine was built in the late 19th century and resembled a simple, small propeller attached to a vertical tower. It was used to generate electricity for the first time in the 1880s by Scottish inventor James Blyth.
I would say that it would be as long as 300ft
