Windmills
Windmills are machines used to convert wind energy into other usable forms. They are commonly used for the pumping of water or milling of grains.

How does a windmill charge a battery?
In order to produce electricity from any motion source (such as a windmill) you must have an electric generator to produce the power that charges the battery.
The windmill supplies the motion needed to turn the generator. The generator will produce power when the windmill is powered by enough wind to turn the generator.
The generator is connected to the battery and the power is stored by the battery. Usually, but not always, there is a regulator attached between the generator to shut the flow of electricity off when the battery has been sufficiently charged. This feature is used to prevent battery failure due to overcharging or at the very least extend battery life by optimizing the charge times.
The regulator may also detect battery drain and will turn on the current from the generator when the battery needs charging. (assuming the windmill is powered by wind and turning)
Batteries store and emit DC (direct current) and therefore usually get power directly from a generator. In some applications the windmill may generate AC (alternating current) by using an "alternator" (instead of a generator) to create power.
When that type of approach is used an additional electronic device called a "rectifier" is needed to convert the AC current to DC current in order to charge batteries -- which can only be charged by Direct Current.
How do you get in the windmill in conker' s bad fur day?
well it is unaccessible until you complete the "its war" chapters then at the final level of the chapter the character named rodent will crash into the windmill and breal it open then ur allowed to enter
How do you build a model windmill for a garden?
To be able to build a wind turbine generator (or windmill generator as its sometimes referred) you will need to obtain a good guide.
The guide should include, but not limited to-
- Step by step video instructions
- Plans explained in simple to follow English
- Diagrams with captions
- Information on components
- Details of considerations before beginning and calculations used to determine size and suitability etc
- Links to government and other governing bodies regarding grants/subsidies/tax relief
- Contact information should you need any further assistance
All this and much more can be found at the following page

What is the purpose of the crank shaft?
The crankshaft is an internal component of the engine that converts an up and down movement of the pistons to a rotational movement of the the crankshaft. This is provided to the powertrain for movement. The bottom of the pistons are attached to the crankshaft with main bearings.
How do you sell firewood and make a good profit off of it?
I don't believe you will ever make a "good" profit out of selling firewood. But what you need to think of is 1. Do you have a reliable renewable source of wood that you have complete access to. 2. Is it close enough to your demand market to keep your distribution costs low. 3. Can you work 16 hours a day, 7 days a week for months at a time? 4. Are you mechanically adept in order to keep your down time due to mechanical failures at a minimum. (they will happen, take my word for it) 5. Are you honest? You will soon go out of business if you are not. 6. Can you afford the equipment needed to produce lots of firewood fast. Check out the internet for fast and efficient splitting machines. 7. What is the competition in your area. No sense starting up with 5 other sellers around you. Selling firewood is a very labor intensive business. There are so many hidden costs (fuel, insurance, etc) that have to be taken into consideration that I would not start until you have done a lot of research. One final note, with Craigslist giving away free wood, and many weekend beerdrinking money sellers (who offer their wood at 1/2 your cost), you best love what you are doing because you will get very frustrated if you do not. You will not get rich selling firewood.
Who invented the textile mills What year What was the inventor's nationality?
This came straight out of my American History book.
In 1789 Samuel Slater came to America from England. In Rhode Island Slater built factories that had spinning machines. Before long there were many textile mills in the North.
This came off of Google.
Samuel Slater was an English American.
How do you get corn back out of your windmill in harvest moon magical melody?
You can't get corn back out but you can get chicken feed.
What direction are faucets supposed to turn?
It depends on the manufacturer.
AnswerIf they are "fluted" handles (uniform throughout their perimeter), they should both turn clockwise to shut off. If they are "wing" handles (a blade sticks out, somewhere on their perimeter), then the wings should push outward to turn off, and inward to turn on. In other words, the left handle turns clockwise to shut off, and the right handle turns counterclockwise to turn off.

What is the life of a 2003 Camry alternator?
Most altenators I have dealt with normally last 10 years+ unless there is something wrong with the charging system (battery bad, belts, etc) that causes it to work harder
Is any one have on idea about windmill used in electric car?
The windmill would consume as much, or more energy than it could produce making it a unneeded and energy consuming device. There would be no advantage to this situation.
Where can you buy a Fuuma Shuriken?

Where is the cat with stripes in I spy a spooky night page 30?
The cat with stripes is in the right hand corner. Look closely at the Russian doll on the shelf between the horse and the bowling pin. :)
Why won't the windmill open on Astro Knights Island?
Assuming that you have released the gear lock inside, and the windmill arms are turning, the only reason would be if it is turning the wrong way : it has to go counter-clockwise to open the dome.
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
Why would a car accelerate slowly and then keep losing power?
Check the fuel filter first. There are many possibilities, but that's a good place to start.
Is a windmill a complex machine?
No, simple machine. It uses the spinning shaft to revolve a gear which powers a generator. Very simple.
