Wind Power
Wind power is derived from the conversion of wind energy to become a useful form of energy to propel ships, make electricity or pump water. Wind is a renewable source of energy that is widely available and produces no harmful emission during operation.

What are 2 ways a wind turbines generator could be cooled?
A wind turbine generator can be cooled using an air cooling system that utilizes fans or ventilation to dissipate heat. Alternatively, a liquid cooling system can be used, where a coolant such as water or oil is circulated around the generator to absorb and transfer heat away from the components.
How do traveling wind turbine technicians travel?
By the same means any other technician that needs to travel would do so.
How much minimum torque is required by a turbine to generate Electricity?
initial torque to overcome the friction in generator and then to keep constant speed of stator within the generator. Minimum 50NM
Are there hidden environmental and social costs of Wind Power?
Yes. Noise to humans and others as well as danger to birds.

Which source of energy has the least impact on the environment?
Renewable energy sources like solar and wind power have the least impact on the environment compared to fossil fuels. They produce no greenhouse gas emissions during operation and do not contribute to air or water pollution.
What is the name of huge wheels that spin inside a generator pushed by wind water or steam?
They are called turbines, and they turn a dynamo, which generates electric current.
Do wind turbines use electricity to start turning?
No.
Wind blows the blades, and the pole attached to the blades is attached to the turbines, which physically turns the turbines, and the movement of the turbines create electricity.
How much does a wind vane cost?
Since you didn't mention a country in your question, we cannot give an accurate answer.
- UK Average: £30-£90
- US Average: $50-$200
- Canada average: $45-$150
- Australia average: $35-$90
- France average: €35-€100
- Spain average: €40- €120
Re-ask the question with a specific country for an accurate answer. The internet is international.
What are the locations of windfarms?
The location of most wind farms are coastal, in order to take advantage of thermal winds generated there. Other locations that generate relatively constant thermal winds are large, elevated, relatively flat desert areas; The area of the great lakes; and some mountain passes where wind flows reliably.
Why don't people in cumbria want no more wind farms?
because they are eye saw and take up a lot of room in the countryside .
Can you use a 24VDC-100RPM motor as wind generator?
All DC Motors can generate electricity according to their size & input volt. 24 volt DC Motor is best for generate electricity. Even you can generate up to 24 volt AC. The big size of Motor is also depends to generate more ampere (current). Remember 24 volt DC Motor which have less RPM without gear is better & efficient for generate electricity than having the more RPM (Round Per Minute). So try it & generate electricity.
