I’d really like to be able to get some in person time with someone or a group that has done this before so I can get some pointers and ask some questions on system setups etc. Thanks for your help and time.

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?

The Bailout line begins here asked:

For several years now the Senator and many other special interest groups located the area have been opposed to setting up offshore windmill farms that will supply the whole of Nantucket Island with free electricity. I’ve heard alot of wild rumors so I will not start spreading them. What’s the deal with that. If it gets down to nobody wants any power generator in their backyard then well . . . Is this thing even close to the land where people could see it?

Nathaniel F asked:

How do wind turbines turn their circular motion into electricity that can be stored?

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.

Whiskey Girl asked:

they pay a lot of money and i have a lot of land. I’m in texas and I’ve seen the ones in Abilene. any info would be appriciated!!!!

nekto84 asked:

I have a huge order of 10 wind turbines from republic of Kazakhstan.But don’t know where I can find those,beside General Electric ones.Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Where can I buy the turbines?
What type of turbine is best?
Would solar panels be a better investment?

fxstristar asked:

I read in the paper a school wanted to buy one but it supposedly cost 2 million dollars. All it is is a big propellar, a generator, maybe a transmission, connected to storage batteries, and basic wiring.

Kalyb B asked:


i need the most recent data please this is the only hole people can seem to poke in my debate case is bat deaths and that’s because i can’t seem to find an argument against it so please give me information with a low number or a way to counter this.

Me asked:


I don’t need extreme detail but I need a general idea that is easily explainable to teenagers (8th grade). Diagrams and charts would be most helpful so if you know of a website that I could find one on that would be great. Thanks!

Emma asked:


Should we take this arguement seriously?

justfornow911 asked:


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

Dillweed asked:


How do I go about doing that? Also, I live in Texas, what’re some good companies to look into…even anywhere else in the US?

abercrombie hunny <3 asked:


if its $1,000,000 for 1 wind turbine and each turbine produces 5 megawatts in an hour, and there are 1,000 kilowatts in a megawatt then what is the return on the cost??
