Can the power output from a wind turbine be used directly (without batteries) to heat water above boiling pt.?
This statement is taken from a wind energy site (http://www.reuk.co.uk/Wind-Turbine-Water-Heating.htm): Direct Wind Turbine Water Heating “It is not usually possible to connect a 12 Volt water heating element directly to the output from a wind turbine. The voltages generated by a 12 Volt wind turbine are typically far in excess of their nominal 12 Volt […]
wind turbine question?
I am watching some videos on windturbines on you tube. Some of the videos say its generating volts, some say amps. I understand to get watts you do amps x volts. But if wind turbine is generating 30 volts how do you tell how many amps its generating? Can someone provide a website with same […]
Wind-Powered Aeroponics System – Feed The World
This is the aeroponics system used on our smallest wind turbines to show that we can use wind to feed the world.
Should the 130 wind turbine project ‘Cape Wind’ be built?
Cape Wind is a 130 wind turbine project that will generate 420Mw of clean power. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Wind Currently this privatly funded project is being blocked by democrat politicians. Should this project be built to help reduce the overly polluted US Northeast, or should the old coal fired plants be used instead? Would you write your congress […]

Todays Technology Solar Electric Battery Powered and Wind Power Passager Van that an individual tells about building himself. So United States Manufactures can do it when indivduals is doing it with ordaniary batteries. Man Power Vehicals by Bell and Battery Powered Vehicals is 1800’s technology.
Wind Turbine?
I live in a subdivision and previously thought using wind power to generate electricity was reserved for people with more acreage. I was watching “Living with Ed” on HGTV and I see where he has installed a small, cylindrical wind turbine on the side of his house and I wonder who makes it and where […]
Solar wells displacing windmills on Western range
Solar wells displacing windmills on Western range Solar powered pumps have improved to the point that many ranchers are considering the solar option when they need to replace an old windmill or drill a new water well. Read more on MSNBC
lego wind powered car
I built wind powered car. I goes real slow but it works and fun to watch
Put a wind turbine in an existing tunnel, like Lincoln Tunnel in NYC, Is there a net benefit? Or am I wrong?
Let’s take advangtage of a “perpetual” source of energy– vehicles moving through the tunnel, and generating the wind power. Is this idea worth considering? Is it being done anywhere? Would it at least power the fans and lights in the tunnel?
How to build a mini wind turbine?
is there any websites that tell you how to build a mini windturbine that can generate energy? Like it has to have blades and it has to generate electricity. I have copper wires and magnets, but how do you actually build a wind turbine powered by [obviously] wind to actually MAKE the energy? o_O please […]
Is it possible to construct a $100 wind turbine and from it obtain the equivalant of one gallon gasoline?
I was discussing with an adversary of mine the possibility of this. I think it is possible over a period of time for a small wind generator to produce the same amount of energy that a gallon of gas will produce. I saw a homemade wind turbine done with 50 gallon drums on Youtube. It […]

What wind turbine is best for generating power Savonius (x-axis) or Darrieus (y-axis)?
any good simple sites on how to set up a wind turbine?
Editorial : Smart energy thinking is blown away by wind power enthusiasm
Editorial : Smart energy thinking is blown away by wind power enthusiasm If you are one of those who favor a clean, plentiful, growing, cheap supply of energy to support the growth of the American economy — and, naturally enough, its many subdivisions, including this tiny, remote (but not remote enough) outpost we call home […]
How is energy generated from wind power stored?
and is this storage of electrical energy harmful to us in a similar way as power generated through normal measures (such as oil and coal plants – known to cause tumors and birth defects) under high tension cables/power lines? If there is a storage plant for wind energy, what’s the distance from a house that’s […]
