Where are wind turbines located?
Most wind turbines are located in Australia as of 2010. There are many other places which use wind tubines but Texas is the main source.
Wind turbines can be located anywhere there is enough room to place them and no danger to populace.
The preferred locations are sufficiently windy and have largely constant winds, e.g. exposed high areas, like hills or small mountains or coastal areas, some wind turbines are even placed off the coast.
The limiting factors in the placement of wind turbines are the price and ease of transport to that area, the infastructure of the area and assembling the turbines.
How many blades should i put on my model wind turbine?
The number of blades in wind turbine is not determined by aesthetics but by science. The size, shape, solidarity, and positioning is determined by the weather conditions and power output. Current tubbiness include turbines using vortexes (no blades) and high solidarity turbines (12 blades) once popular on farms to pump water.If the model is a replica of actual turbine the number of blades in the model will be the same as the number in the actual unit.
What will happen without wind power?
the thing that will happen with wind power would be that if we didn't have wind energy we would either die or if we didn't have any wind energy we would not be able to breath because the wind energy gives all of us oxegen
How do you make a model solar boat?
its easy all you need is a mini solar panel a motor an on off switch and a base for the boat and you should be good to go type it up on google youll get lots of info
How wind energy converts to mechanical energy?
by seeing how it converts from wind energy to mechanical energy , just find it out. that's your answer my dear buddies . anything we should think practically guys or do it with experience or do it experimentally, ok,that my suggestion buddies , but dont do it like this , u understand. ok, bye , sallam, vanakam , namasthae.

How do you get the windmill window at the top of it to open?
go to the windmill and keep pushing it to your left and after you do that a couple of times it will open
How is biofuel stored for later use?
That would depend on the type of biofuel. Wood is a biofuel, and it can be stored as logs, pellets, or chips, in huge stacks or mounds. (methane)Gas can also be a biofuel, which is stored in some sort of pressurized vessel. Vegetable oils and fats can also be biofuels, and they're stored in tanks.
Wind power is energy, initially from the sun, that influences our weather and climate. It has been harnessed for thousands of years for sailing boats, pumping water and grinding corn. It is now being harnessed by electricity turbines to produce clean, green, non-polluting electricity.
Wind is helpful because it provides a plentiful, renewable source of energy. It can readily be harnessed through large wind turbines.
What is the cost of wind turbines?
What does it cost to build a wind turbine? Capital costs for wind projects are $1,500 - $2,000 per kilowatt of nameplate capacity. How does the cost of wind energy compare to other energy sources? Wind-generated electricity has become more economical to produce in the past 10 years, dropping from as much as 30 cents per kilowatt-hour to 4.5 to 7.5 cents, making it more competitive with other energy sources. The cost to develop and build a wind energy facility is approximately $1.3 million to $1.7 million per megawatt, compared to a cost for gas-fired energy generation of $800,000 per megawatt.
Yes.
The output voltage will not always be 240 volts - it will fluctuate. Plus a typical wind turbine throws out some harmonics due to the AC/DC/AC design necessary to convert it from speed of blade rotating to a constant 60 Hz.
If you are building this all yourself, for you own home use, and especially if you wish to disconnect from the grid, It might be best to build the turbine to AC/DC and charge a battery bank. A reverse charging protection schemed needs to be set up for when the DC voltage dips below the battery voltage (when the wind isn't blowing). A large home-sized DC-AC converter would be used to power the home off the battery bank, then. This scheme would protect the home from the harmonic output from the wind turbine (which could damage sensitive electronics like computers, LCDs, etc.).
Why is a fantail needed in a windmill?
The wind blown in the fantail turns the main sails to point to the wind.
How long will wind energy be around?
As long as there is an atmosphere and a sun, we will have wind energy.
Yes, There are wind turbines with more than three blades... Basically that would only apply for the turbines which are not commercial like the turbines which are installed at home etc. and there are also wind turbines with horizontal axis, and again that would not apply to commercial wind farm. Usually Wind Turbines are BIG in size and mostly used to Generate Commercial Electricity so installing a Turbine with more than 3 turbines is not a viable thing.
What is the difference between wind turbines and bigger wind turbines?
bigger wind turbines spread out larger and colect more energy
A larger wind turbine is more efficient than a small one, and costs less to operate per KWH. For example, if you had two 750KW turbines, your total output of energy would be 1.5MW. You would have to have enough area to erect them and they can't be too close together. Then, you would have to pay for maintenance on two units as well as any repairs that may have to be made. Now, if you had just one 1.5MW turbine, you would require less space to erect it, and only have to maintenance and repair one unit. It would cost more to purchase initially, but would save expenses in the long run. And, you could get more energy from the same area as well.
turbine blade angle is that angle with which,a high presseure & high temprature steam is made to empenge on it.
What is a renewable resource and how does wind energy fit?
A renewable resource is something that is used today (for generating electricity), and it's still there tomorrow for generating more.
So solar power is a renewable resource. So is windpower. So is the power of water running in rivers (till they dry up), and the power of water in the tides and in the ocean waves.
GeoThermal power, using the heat from deep down in the earth, is also renewable. Biomass, the burning of recently dead vegetation is also classed as renewable.
Non-renewable sources of energy are wood (mostly), coal, oil, natural gas and uranium (nuclear power).
Do wind turbines work on mountains?
Yes, they do. Mountains can be quite breezy. There are a number of problems, however. Construction in mountainous areas is time-consuming and expensive, particularly for transmission lines to bring the power down to populated areas (there isn't much power demand in the mountains). Also, residents may object to the incongruity of a wind turbine in the natural landscape.
A small wind turbine might be a very good idea for a self-sufficient mountain lodge that is far from the grid.
How does the wind change the rock?
Wind is an agent of weathering and erosion. Weathering is the breaking of rock into smaller particles. Wind moves small rock particles against other rock surfaces, weathering them. Wind will also drive water deeper into fissures, which could then freeze, causing further weathering. Wind can also cause greater wave action on shorelines, increasing weathering.
How is governmental power best distributed?
