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 arguments can you make to say that hydro electric power is the best source of energy?
Well i don't know but this is a guess:
- It's a good reneable source of energy
How do turbines produce energy?
Turbines don't produce energy. They convert combustion from burning gas or water flow. A turbine is just a device with a lot of blades that convert water flow or gas flow to rotation. This rotation then turns an electrical generator, interfaces with a power take off unit, or provides jet thrust.
What are the advantages of using wind energy over using coal for electricity?
Wind energy is a sustainable source meaning it can be used repeatedly. It also doesn't produce CO2 so it is better for the environment.
What is the energy payback time for a wind turbine?
The payback time is about three to five months, depending on how much wind blows. This means that over the life of the turbine (20 to 25 years) it should produce many times more energy that was used to make it.
How can you stop pollution with wind turbine?
You use the wind turbine to make electricity. Because you make your own electricity you don't have to buy it from the electricirty company who burn fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal to make electricity. Burning these fuels makes smoke and this goes into the air. People have been putting this smoke in the air for a very long time and now our air has become polluted with gases like carbon in the smoke. The wind turbine does not make any smoke so it doesn't add any more pollution to the air.
Why does wind turbines have long blades when short blades go faster?
Long Blades Catch More Wind Then Short Blades
Why are wind turbine not found in Singapore?
There is not much room in Singapore. The population is far too large for the island (and it is constantly growing) and land is incredibly expensive which leads to many multi-storey buildings being built. Since land is so scarce, there simply is no room for wind turbines and they have to be built off-shore.
What do wind turbine jobs pay and wind turbine jobs salary?
Wind turbine jobs have an average salary range between $60,000 and $70,000. In places where there is significant demand for wind turbine technicians or wind power service providers, the average pay can increase substantially ($85,000 of income per year is not uncommon). Pay rates and compensation variables that are normally considered for this occupation can include health benefits, company vehicles, and performance bonuses. For information on obtaining an entry level wind turbine job, see California Wind Tech at www.californiawindtech.com
Does Japan utilize renewable resources?
Solar energy is used on a small scale in Japan, also wind power but nothing (Yet) on a large scale.
Who made the first windmill and where?
The first recorded windmill design originated in Persia around A.D.500-900，the inventor is called Abeu Roller (I am not sure the spelling is right)
What percent of the UK's power comes from wind?
This question is a bit of a tough one to answer, but varies from a range of variables. One of the main ones would have to be certain days give different percentage. Seasons is also one of the big factors to determining the percentage of Uk's wind power. Generally it is estimated between 5.7 to 6.7 gigawatts, percentage wise about 0.347% of the UK's power comes from wind.
What shrouding installed on the blading of a steam turbine serves?
Shrouding serves toconfine steam to the passage of the turbine blades. It also helps to stiffen the blades against vibration.
Why is Scotland suitable for wind farms?
Because wind levels are higher there than most other parts of the UK.
Do wind turbines provide jobs?
Yes people must be employed to erect them, maintain them and run them.
How do you say wind power in Hawaiian?
Aloha: Say: makani ikaika [ma-ka-nee ee-k~I (I with a k in front) - ka].
Where in Ireland would wind turbines be located?
They are all over Ireland. Particularly in exposed areas where it is easy to get wind, such as on mountains or open areas. There are also some offshore.

Why are the great plains called the saudia Arabia of wind energy?
from Texas up through North Dakota is a region (plains) unlike anywhere else on earth, where the consistent high winds have the potential, if tapped by wind energy conversion systems (wind turbines), to produce a lot of electricity.
although the term is applied relatively, in reality, the Midwest wind resource offers more energy than Saudi Arabia's 10 million barrels a day. the typical conversion is to use GGE (gallon of gas equivalent) which equals about 33 kWh. However, 10M barrels of oil equals about a million wind turbines spinning.
In windy countries, and with the improvements that we are now seeing in windmill technology, close to 100%.
Does Al Gore use solar energy for his home?
Of course not. He is typical of people who tell others what they should do. He does, however, buy energy credits to offset the extremely high energy useage his home consumes.
Has Geothermal Energy been used successfully in the past?
The Icelandic geothermal energy has been used for many years for multiple purposes. Ever since the first permanent settler, Ingólfur Arnarsson, came to Iceland, people have figured out many ways to use the geothermal energy. For example when he came to Reykjavík, he saw smoke rising from the geothermal zones which are in Laugardalur in Reykjavík. That is the reason for why Icelanders usually translate Reykjavík to "Smoky Bay". In the early 20th century and before that the women in Reykjavík all went there to wash their and their families' clothes.
Which jobs pay the highest first year salaries?
sales rep, crab fisherman, computer engineering, chemical engineering, accounting,
