Wind Power

solar power and hybrid tech. and electricity

See the entry on Satielites.

Wind energy is very efficient (makes money) when the wind is blowing but when it stops, it's all overhead.

This means it cost too much.

If all electricity was produced by wind power, and the use of coal, oil and nuclear sources were eliminated, wind power would rid us of the pollution the other sources cause. That would be good.

Some areas very popular, but it all depends on if there is any wind, etc. I think that wind turbines only generate energy for the area around them.

Pretty much. Wind power has been used for centuries and today it is just starting to be used in larger areas.

Wind farms are commonly located in large open areas such as in villages , and at Terbella Dam.

Because a majority of land-based wind turbines are set out in open land (much of it leased from farmers) the arrays became known as "wind farms" and collecting the energy generated was popularly termed "wind farming".

Wind Farms

You could, but then you would be generating additional drag. This would most likely require more energy to overcome than the energy generated by the windmilling propeller.

As of 2021, wind power contributes around 24% of the electricity generated in the UK. The total capacity of wind power installations in the UK is over 24 gigawatts. Wind power has become a significant source of renewable energy in the UK's energy mix.

No, winds are caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. Sun's energy heats the air, creating temperature differences that lead to the movement of air molecules, resulting in wind patterns across the planet.

Sure, it can. There are some homes in the tropics that don't have any power.

A gale is classified as sustained winds of 34-40 knots (39-46 mph) on the Beaufort scale.

Strong wind is a type of weather characterized by high-speed air movements. These winds can cause various impacts, such as power outages, property damage, and transportation disruptions. Strong winds are often associated with storms and can be classified based on their speed, typically starting at around 25-30 mph.

Get it higher and clear of obdstructions like buildings. Lower the mass of the impeller and increase number of blades, Lower the electrical load until it gets to top speed. Placing impeller in the constriction of a venturi tunnel , like in a jet engine? might be an idea worth trying.

There are many requisite for making a household windmill. I have found some important tips at site that is related to Solar power or wind energy. Hope you will get the desired answer.

In older days, windmills were generally used to grind grain, through the wind turning the blades, which turned the grinding mechanisms. Presently, windmills can be used to convert kinetic energy into electricity, popularly seen as an alternative to fossil fuels.

wind energy is only air but wind mills and wind turbins are about 5m to 10m dollars... so yes they are expensive.

Anyone can use wind energy. But people can use it for multiple purposes, like charging a battery to running your homes electricity.

Wind energy is already used to supply some of the electric power that would otherwise be produced by burning fossil fuels.

As of 2010, the 8 largest onshore wind farms in the US each have a capacity of more than 450 Megawatt.

When the wind blows, those wind farms produce electricity that would otherwise be produced by burning coal or natural gas.

If you are asking about the "Smoky Hill" wind farm in Kansas, which is the one visible along Interstate highway I-70 about 25 miles west of Salina, then as of late 2012 there are 155 wind turbines installed.

As far as the battery is concerned it'll be like trying to charge it by two different chargers simultaneously, which won't get it charged twice as fast. You'd probably be better off having both panel and turbine feeding into the same inverter instead. You might have to install a back-current block to keep the turbine from feeding into the panel and the other way around. Have a look at what the yachting industry are doing, they have a lot of nice stuff for these kinds of things.

Yes, because all renewable energy in the world is in one way or another driven by solar energy. It is differnet from parts of the world wether one should focus on solar energy as the renewable energy source. For example, in Africa that can be useful, but in countries like Britain, it can be better with for example tide energy.

there are advantages of building windfarms and there are disadvantages of building them. I have no time to improve this answer.

All these questions are asked separately many times over. Can this one be deleted?
