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 size wind generator would supply a average home?
It depends on how the home is heated, where it is and how efficiently the power is used. But around 10kilowatts is probably what you're after.
What are problems that prevent Africa from being able to fully utilize its resources?
Historically, Africa has suffered from few educational opportunities, resulting in fewer people who are skilled enough to effectively plan and implement resource usage. Also, there tends to be a lot of corruption in African countries, hindering full utilization of resources.
There are 35 states that use wind energy such as Oklahoma,Kansas,and Iowa
energy source is inconsistent

How many chickens does it take to eat a windmill?
they can't
Well, if you take the direct radius of the chicken in question, then the answer would be 6. Unfortunately, the radius is unavailable at the current time, therefore we need to work it out the long way. x, being the chicken, times y, the windmill.
The Equation: x(cos)2 x e(xy)96/56 + 23(y) - π = Ω
Therefore, the answer to the question is Ω.
It would take Ω chickens to eat a windmill.
Of course, it is good to note that only the Brazilian laughing chicken, residing in Southern California, would not eat just any windmill, only a Reßfu∑o Windmill, bought at Al's Pottery Barn, located somewhere in Germany for only ¥100,000,000.
What is the disadvantage of using wind as an energy source?
There are no major disadvantages, there are however, several minor ones to consider.
1. wind generators are more difficult to maintain, have more moving parts, and more difficult to install, than solar or hydro. This can lead to longer install times and increased costs of installation and maintenance.
2. They can take up a lot of land space. If you are trying to generate enough power for a business at a commercial level it may require several acres worth of wind turbines.
3. They are somewhat weather dependent. If you live in an area with consistent wind they will be viable most of the year, but if you live in an area prone to calm weather they are far less useful. They also need to be shut down if the area is prone to violent wind storms.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the wind?
Advantages:
The wind can be used to
- wind assists with the erosion of rocks, which then replenishes worn out soil or forms deltas at rivers
- wind carries soil particles to new areas to replenish the soil
- wind moves water in streams, lakes, oceans
- power yachts, sailboats and sailing ships.
- drive windmills for pumping water, grinding corn, powdering rocks etc.
- generate clean, green, pollution-free electricity
- dry clothes
- cool people on hot days
- power land yachts
- fly kites
- fly gliders
Disadvantages:
The wind can do a lot of damage. For example, it can
- can cause too much erosion
- blow down trees
- rip roofs off buildings,
- destroy crops
- drive ships onto rocks
- knock down walls

What_are_the_advantages_and_disadvantages_of_wind_power
Wind can be very different. It can be human wind,(lol) or it can be just natures air moving.
But natures air affects us more than human wind (phaa stinky lol).
This is because strong wind can be very dangerous because it can knock over trees, fences, bins, outside playground equipment and lots more.
On the other hand when there is only a breeze then that does no harm appart from cooling us down in the summer.
How many houses does a 2mw wind turbine provide power for?
1,000 houses, according to Wind Farm Resources.

Are wind turbines more cost effective than solar panels?
It depends on where you live. Solar panels work well in desert areas. While wind turbines work best near large lakes, oceans, or mountains. Wind turbines need to be very high up and solar panels need to face the sun as it moves across the sky.
Is energy more efficient than wind energy?
what is that energy you are referring to, if your energy means to Oil & gas,
Yes Wind energy in comparision to the energy generated from fossil fuel is much safer and reliable.
As this is the era were almost all the fossil fuels are started to come to an end .Wind energy is the future.
in the Wind energy United States stand top with 25,172 Mw of installed Capacity
AnswerWind turbines are a very inefficient way of generating electrical energy; if they were not heavily subsidised, no sane person would even consider using wind turbines.
What is the bad thing about wind energy?
One downside of wind energy is that it can be intermittent, as wind speeds fluctuate, leading to variations in power output. Additionally, some people find wind turbines to be visually unappealing and there are concerns about their impact on wildlife and local ecosystems.

What can humans do to save wind energy?
Wind energy is a form of renewable energy source. That means that it's a kind of energy that is 'produced' using natural methods (wind, solar, ocean waves) and can be renewed as more of that source is available.
So, the more wind you can capture using, say, a wind turbine, the more energy you will have collected.
Wind energy has a downside as a cause of noise and visual pollution since wind farms need specific sites to run. They are not completely reliable either, since they depend on the inconsistent nature of wind generated at any time.
Wind energy is good because it is a renewable and sustainable source of energy that does not produce greenhouse gas emissions. It can help reduce dependence on fossil fuels and contribute to a cleaner environment. Additionally, wind farms can create jobs and stimulate economic growth in the communities where they are installed.
