Why are the Kennedy’s so strongly for wind farms until one is proposed in their backyard?
It turns out, Kennedy’s antipathy to furtive rules changes and backroom power plays stops at the water’s edge — specifically, the waters of Nantucket Sound, which separates Cape Cod (where the Kennedy family has an oceanfront compound in Hyannis Port) from the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. A shoal in the center of Nantucket […]

What size Wind Turbine would we need to benefit our campus?
In a good month we use 57,000KWH. A small turbine for a home costs $10,000 to purchase and install, only generates 2,000 KWH per year, and it’s simply not feasible. The savings have to be more significant for it to be an option for us.

Physics Question on Wind turbine?
The power generated by a wind turbine is given by: P =1/2epAv^3 Where e is the turbine efficiency, p is the density of air, A is the area spanned by the wind turbine and v is the wind speed. Assume that we want to buy some number of wind turbines with e = 1/2 and […]

Filipchuk wins but Cai denies another Russian one-two in race walk – Day five morning wrap 23 July 2010 – Valeriy Filipchuk showed he is not just an accomplished road walker when striding out down the backstraight, he pulled marginally away to win the World Junior track 10,000m title ahead of Zelin Cai in the […]
Regarding energy generation using a hollow tall tower with a wind turbine inside the top.?
If the tower has a broad base with space for air to enter and the tower or building is tapered to narrowing at the top and the top of the tower is colored black with a lighter colored base, would wind speeds be sufficiently increased by solar heating to drive one or more propelers and […]
Maker Workshop – Wind Power Generator on MAKE: television
Taking a motor from an old exercise treadmill and some PVC pipe, John Park constructs a wind-powered generator. The electrical power may not be enough to get your home off the grid, but the great thing about the project is how it explains in simple terms the technology involved in turning wind into free electricity. […]
is it possible to use a tornado’s power to generate energy?
i can see it now wind funnel turbines, scattered throughout tornado alley, waiting for a tornado to collapse in it’s grasp.. hot air rises , cold air drops- bang.. tornado? would a hydrogen tipped missile cause enough of a temperature change to stop a tornado ?

How to hook up my stationary RV to wind turbine?
Hi folks. I recently built a wind turbine that generates about 400w of DC electricity. I’d like to hook it up to an RV that just sits on my property so that my wife can have a little retreat away from the kids and a place to run a sewing machine, which obviously uses AC […]

wind turbine generator?
I’m making a small wind turbine for a science project. It doesn’t need to produce a lot of electricity, just enough to register on a multimeter. I just need to know: For the generator, are magnets and coils the only things I need for the turbine to generate electricity? Or is there something else I’m […]

Harnessing wind power?
I had a fan in my window, that was plugged in, but not turned on. The wind was making the blades spin. I thought for a second, “Is that generating power, going back into my wall?” Then I realized that, no, because it was turned off, the circuit wasn’t complete inside the fan. Then I […]
