IM A farmer and i thinkwind farms are good as long as they are away from me and all of myanimalllsss/.
yes they do they're powered by wind so they don't hurt anything but the birds that get caught in them and the drivers who get sidetrackted -from somone else.... lol
Convection current move fluids upwards and downwards (like boiling soup) and distribute heat energy. An upward convection current in the atmosphere is called a "Thermal" (which usually have a small cumulus cloud on top) and some species of birds use these to gain height, circling round in them and getting taken up with the rising hot air without having to flap. When they have gained altitude they can then come out of the thermal and glide to the next while hunting or migrating.
Using the rising air in the thermals means that they save energy themselves (by not having to flap) and this help them survive.
What happens to animals before storms roll in or at the onset of winter? Infrasonic sounds could still be the culprit because hurricanes and thunder produce sound waves at those frequencies. But there's also the matter of changes in barometric (air) and hydrostatic (water) pressure.
Normally, these pressures fluctuate slightly. Animals are highly tuned in to any changes beyond those natural fluctuations, which can signal big changes in the weather. These variations can trigger an animal's survival mechanism. The animals' instinctive reaction is to seek shelter in the face of potentially violent weather.
For example, abnormal conditions like hurricanes cause large decreases in air pressure and water pressure (at least in the more shallow depths). Animals exposed and accustomed to certain patterns can quickly sense these changes. And again, similar to the observed behavior of the animals during the tsunami, they flee for safety.
Researchers observed this type of behavior among a group of sharks as they tracked the sharks' movements during Tropical Storm Gabrielle and Hurricane Charlie. After the barometric pressure dropped just a few millibars -- an occurrence that causes a similar change in hydrostatic pressure -- several sharks swam to deeper waters, where there was more protection from the storm [source: Vatalaro].
Birds and bees also appear to sense this drop in barometric pressure and will instinctively seek the cover of their nests or hives. Birds also use their ability to sense air pressure to determine when it's safe to migrate.
And what about long-term predictions, like how harsh winter will be? It seems that groundhogs aren't holding any cards. Hibernation appears to be related to an animal's biological clock and stored-up fat rather than any ability to gauge temperature trends.
There have been interesting proposals about the validity of some animal folklore. Some Native Americans believe black bears choose different sleeping spots in their caves depending on how cold the winter will be, or the fur on a hare's feet will grow fluffier if heavy snows approach. While there's a chance these are simply coincidences, some have pointed out that science is based on observation, and folklore is based on centuries of observation -- although the observations haven't been conducted in controlled circumstances.
In the end, these animal behaviors may not prove all that useful to humans. Animals frequently exhibit behavior changes, and there's no practical way of deciphering whether a change in behavior is related to an impending natural disaster or just a reaction to something completely unrelated.
Also, differences exist between species -- and between individuals of the same species -- in their sensitivity to weather fluctuations. While some animals may be great weather predictors, others within that same species might not get their spidey senses tingling.
But, if you ever find yourself in a forest reminiscent of the stampede scene in "Bambi," you still might want to follow the crowd and tag along at top speed.

Websites or specialist groups focused on renewable energy resources are great for connecting you with people who have already had experience with wind turbines and you can learn a lot from their trials and errors! For a faster approach, there are videos on Youtube that offer various solutions on how to build a wind turbine.
go to windmill park with a giant crain and then pick the windmill and drop it to your school.
They are collectively known as "Wind Farms".

Insufficient information
The typical wind system delivers roughly 8 to 10% of what systems are rated at 28 MPH. If the wind gusts over this amount the system shuts down. If the wind falls to 14 MPH you see 10% of rated. At 11 MPH you see nothing. To compensate for this issue, fossil fuel plants run in the background. The energy they use and CO2 output is ignored because wind generators are connected.
The overall effect is that no useful power is ever created if you consider the fossil fuel plants idling. Check out the number of birds killed each year by wind and you have a really bad system. They should be banned.
The largest of them all is the Danish company "Vestas". They are also the ones who have created the largest windmills ever build.
In the order of market share: Vestas Denmark 23% Gamesa Spain 15%
Suzlon India 14% General Electric US 9% Siemens Germany 9% Others: 29%
Plenty of these to quote. For example a power station generating set converts the mechanical power of the steam turbine into the electrical output of the generator.
In an auto, mechanical power from the engine is converted to electrical power in the AC generator which powers all the car's electrics and charges the battery
Yes, but only because Hydroelectric generated electricity can be produced 24/7.
There are two methods, one is by syncing the speed of the motor.
The second method is to convert all energy to DC from the tower then run that power through an inverter.
The third alternative is to bypass the grid altogether, which seriously increases the usefulness of the system. Smaller wind systems that feed single homes or businesses are the most efficient use of wind turbines. Bypassing the grid altogether eliminates the worlds largest single consumer of power, the grid itself.
Put your hands above your head and just breath
If you can, sit down but keep your back straight (this lets your lungs expand more). Also, if it's bad enough to a point you can't stand, lie down but DO NOT lie on your back. Your lungs have to work twice as hard then and it will just make the situation harder to get over.Depends what your idea of "average" is.
If I were going to make one that was (for example) 8ft in diameter, the steel and fixings would cost me in the region of £300. To have it galvanised afterward would cost about £80 or to paint it with Zinc paint would cost £50. By the time I have added my labour charge (the going rate is around £45 / hour for a welder / fabricator) and my charge for tooling, electrode wire, cutting blades & other overheads such as electricity & gas you would be looking at between £1,200 and £1,500. Then add V.A.T unless you pay by cash... and bear in mind that most companies would probably double my total.
Of course if you want a bigger one it will cost more. A smaller one would obviously cost less.
Alternatively, a wooden one would cost you a small fortune, as it would have to be made from hard-wood, which, like the people with the necessary skills, doesnt come cheap!
If you only want it for decorative purposes then Ive seen cheap ornamental water wheels for sale in various D.I.Y shops and garden centres in the past.
I have no idea where you might buy a functional second hand one.
Alternatively, if you don't want to make one, there is a company called Aintree Woodcraft that produces hand made water wheels for purchase - http://www.aintreewoodcraft.com

Building the foundations can be expensive if the water is deepand the bottom soft. You have to run a cable back to shore. Maintenance and initial assembly is more difficult at sea than on land.
Because the sea provides ample cooling for the steam cycle, and there are no large rivers or lakes available in a small country.
Most of the time wind turbines are erected on land.
Water turbines are normally found in plant rooms of man made dams, in order to generate hydro electricity (water flowing through turbine, at speed to create electricity).
