Wind Power

Wind energy is just called wind energy.

Wind energy is used to power things that need electric power (which can be made by wind energy).

Its safer for the economy and it is unlimited and never runs out instead of stinking up the air and shortening lives of people due to Asthma attacks and greenhouse gas emissions.

When a turbine spins, mechanical energy is being converted into electrical energy. The spinning motion causes the generator connected to the turbine to rotate, which generates electricity through electromagnetic induction. This process allows the kinetic energy of the turbine to be transformed into a usable form of energy.

No, a boomerang doesn't require wind to return. Its unique shape and design create aerodynamic forces that cause it to rotate and come back towards the thrower. Wind can affect its flight path, but it's not a requirement for the boomerang to return.

The only thing that limits the abundance of wind energy is not educating the public how effective and cheap it is in the long run. It can be difficult to convince tax payers to pay for installation of multiple windmills and energy capture from the windmills.

Wind power generators are used to harness the power created by wind turbines. This is considered a "green" source of energy. Some government agencies are currently investing resources in expanding wind power in their areas.

One limitation is variability, as wind strength and availability are inconsistent. Another limitation is the need for large areas of land for wind farms, which may compete with other land uses. Finally, there can be challenges in managing noise and visual impacts on surrounding communities.

To calculate the kilowatt-hours produced by a wind turbine in a month, you can use the formula:

Monthly energy production (kWh) = Wattage of the turbine (W) * 24 hours * 30 days / 1000

For a 600 watt wind turbine, the calculation would be:

600 W * 24 hours * 30 days / 1000 = 432 kWh per month

Generators produce electricity through electromagnetic induction. When a coil of wire is rotated within a magnetic field, it generates an electric current. This current can then be harnessed and used as electricity.

Wind is used to generate electricity through wind turbines, propel sailboats, power windmills for grinding grain or pumping water, and in some cases for cooling buildings through natural ventilation.

No. Coal generates more than half of the energy in the United States while wind power generates less than 1%.

When talking about the amount of power (megawatts) produced, for example, the Nysted Wind Farm in Denmark has 72 turbines and a capacity of 165.6 megawatts. Assuming that 40 percent of that capacity can actually be realized, those turbines put out an average of about 66 megawatt hours in an hour. Producing enough power to account for all of what is now put out by coal-fired plants in the U.S. would require over 250,000 individual turbines.

Wind is created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. As the sun heats different parts of the Earth at different rates, warm air rises, creating areas of low pressure. Cooler, denser air then rushes in to fill the void, resulting in the movement of air known as wind.

Weather is primarily caused by the movement of air masses in the atmosphere, driven by temperature and pressure differences. Wind energy is generated by the uneven heating of Earth's surface, which creates air movement. This wind energy influences weather patterns by transporting heat and moisture around the globe.

wind pushes on the blades of the wind turbine which pass on this motion to the generator to produce electricity.

The energy and the speed of a wind turbine depend on the blade pitch control which depends on the angel of the blade chord to the plane of rotation.

The blade pitch determines the speed of the turbine which also depends on the wind speed. Energy is directly proportional to the speed of the turbine. Therefore, the energy produced by a turbine depends on both the wind speed and the blade pitch angle.

I bet lots of people will say I am wrong but I will have a go so wish me luck. also I hope this answer is right

Wind energy effects the transport e.g. boats and ect it effects the transport because the transport needs wind to move on the water.

Both can be used to generate electricity - but there the similarity ends.

Wind power can be used pretty much directly. The turbine is connected to an alternator via a gearbox, and away we go. More or less. And only when the wind is blowing within a fairly narrow, optimum speed range.

"Free" and non-polluting though individual machines produce very modest power outputs, in the scheme of things- and if you ignore the fuel used in constructing and maintaining the machine. No waste.

Fossil fuel has to be burnt in some form of heat engine coupled to the alternator. Gas or liquid fuel can be used directly in a conventional engine, or, as coal has to be, burnt in the furnace of a boiler to produce high-pressure steam that drives a turbine connected to the alternator. Constant output for days, weeks, months on end.

Expensive fuel from finite source, and pollution concerns - but very large continual power output from relatively compact plant.

Around 20% of electrical energy produced in Denmark is from wind energy.

What would power the fan? What you describe is a "Perpetual Motion" machine, something that needs no energy, or creates its own energy to operate. The reason such things don't work is because of energy loss, usually due to friction or gravity. The fan loses or wastes electrical energy which is turned to heat by friction in its moving parts and by electrical resistance in internal and external wiring. Some energy is also lost in moving the air. The turbine also loses energy from the wind in its own friction before turning it into electricity. When you add up all those losses, the fan requires more energy than the turbine provides.

You can't power a sail boat with an attached fan either, but that's a whole other reason, Newton's 3rd Law of motion.

Onshore turbines work by converting the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical power. When the wind blows, it causes the turbine blades to rotate, which then turns a generator to produce electricity. This electricity is then either used on-site or transmitted to the grid for distribution.

Wind energy.

Wind can generate electricity through wind turbines, help disperse seeds for plant reproduction, and assist in the process of pollination for some plant species. Additionally, wind can help regulate temperature by bringing in cooler or warmer air depending on the season.

the different types of global winds are the ne trade winds,se trade winds,prevailing easterlies, prevailing westerlies,polar westerlies,jet stream,horse latitudes,and doldrums.

No, it only works when the wind is blowing. This is why renewable energy is best with a mix of resources. Solar energy, hydro power and wind are three that together can supply constant power.

Wind is most powerful in areas with high altitudes, such as mountains and ridges, due to the lack of obstacles to slow down the airflow. Coastal regions are also prone to strong winds, especially during storms or in areas where temperature differences create strong pressure gradients. Additionally, open plains and deserts can experience strong winds due to the lack of vegetation and obstructions.

Wind power is generated by harnessing the natural movement of air using wind turbines. Key characteristics include being a renewable and clean energy source, variable output based on wind speed, low operating costs once installed, and the ability to be integrated with other energy sources in a hybrid system.
