asd a asked:

In average that is. And also, how many wind turbines do you usually have in range of a wind farm?

Wind turbines generate electricity through magnetic induction. The blades turn a rotor lined with magnets through copper coils, thus generating voltage. The question is WHAT determines the power output. If the wind is constant, is it the strength of the magnets? Or the length of the copper wire in the coils? Any way a lay-person can figure this out and come up with reasonable voltages expected?

OtakuSamurai asked:

Does anyone know a website or link that can give direct insturctions to building a Horizontal Wind Turbine? Not one of those ones the size of football fields. More like a small model. Yahoo! Answers is my last resort, and I need to type my procedure in for my 9th grade Science Long-Term project by tomorrow!!

Please! I really need help! My partners on the project basically ****…and don’t know anything.

not specific places, just what type of landscapes, enviroments, etc.

As you can see I’m not a global warming (end of the earth) denier. I simply wish our course of actions could be carried out more swiftly than anticipated in order that there might be more life left for innnocent creatures. And in order that the truely guilty receive fair compensation for their acts of pollution.

amour2vivant asked:


I need evidence to back up that plate tectonics (continental drift) processes can cause global warming. I need to find plate tectonics forces that have nothing to do with humankind that is contributing to global warming. Much of what I have found is how plate tectonics can cause cooling of the earth rather than warming it. I need help researching this as I am not having much luck. I have found that ocean currents and volcanoes actually cool the earth rather than warming it.

Whether I believe humankind is causing global warming or not, is not important in this research.

chreve28 asked:


can you please describe ecological changes resulting from global warming..thanks a lot!

amour2vivant asked:


Can someone please help me research/understand how continental drift can contribute to global warming? I’m looking for NATURAL causes of global warming that are relative to plate tectonics.

Can sea floor spreading contribute?

Can the change in ocean currents from the movement of continents contribute to global warming?

Can mountain ranges created from continental drift contribute in anyway to global warming?

Hank M asked:


Methane is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) thought to be abundant in the deep ocean and in permafrost. Compare the global warming potential of methane to other GHG’s. What are the potential feedback implications of global warming with respect to these methane sources?

aap1970 asked:


I haven’t been able to find any credible sources on the history of the polar ice caps. But, I have heard that the polar ice caps have been free of ice many times in the history of the plant. Is this true? If this is true is this big global warming issue a little over blown because this would be just a natural cycle of the earth. If this has happend before, melting of the polar caps, what has happend in the past?

=] asked:


what’s the difference between global warming and the greenhouse effect?
they all seem the same!
thanks.

Jennifer V asked:


I am doing a project @ school, and we have to do a presentation about how global warming effects different types of people. Such as how it effects teens, children, adults, homeless people, and so on. Does anyone have any ideas. Would be greatly appriciated.

Sara! asked:


sorry i know its wrong to ask homework questions on yahoo but yeahh, im really having trouble with this.

soo why is it a good reason to get rid of global warming? other than like, making some animals like, exctint.
