The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

Solar, Wind-Powered ‘Seagull’ Streetlight by Panasonic

This is one of the solar and wind-powered streetlights at the panasonic center in tokyo. a battery in the base stores power generated during the day, and a high-efficiency bulb illuminates the area during the night. More information about this product at www.remotehybridsystem.com

Energy conservation as it relates to windmills?

Rows of wind-powered generators are used in various windy locations to generate electric power. Does the power generated affect the speed of the wind? Would locations behind the windmills be windier if the windmills weren’t there? Discuss this in terms of energy conservation.

What forms of energy and energy transformations are involved in wind turbines?

Hey Im doing a research about wind turbines and how it generates energy using wind power I need to know the energy conversions involved in the process of the wind turbines. Im not quite sure on what forms of energy are involved Here are all of the forms of energy: thermal, electrical, radiant, nuclear potential, […]

Wind Powered Generator

This is a homemade wind powered generator blowing in the breeze. No more electric bills for us! Designed by Dave Mussell, Built by Michael .

What determines the power of a wind turbine?

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 […]

How can i make a wind powered car out of a milk container?

I have a scool milk container. How would I create a car? My teacher will have a box fan in the back to blow, but that will be the only energy pushing the car. The car must have a axile, its own wheels, it can’t be sitting on top of another car. What can I […]

Fallbrook Technologies CVT for Wind Turbines

Fallbrook Technologies shows how a CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission) can help wind turbines generate electricity and have no need of regulators to produce stable, almost fixed alternating current, as it is required by pwer grids. Note that this CVT has no metal belts: it just shifts over two sandwiches and roller balls, just like any […]

Can you get wind powered window fans?

OK, my parent’s attic has two small windows. The windows don’t face the ocean, which is unfortunate, because there is a sea breeze. I’m wondering if there are: 1.) wind powered window fans, OR 2.) solar powered window fans. I’m also wondering if it would be dangerous to stick a window fan in the windows, […]

Deep-Water Wind Turbines Generate Buzz

A research team at WPI is studying the feasibility of placing large wind turbines on deep-ocean platforms. Supported by a three-year, $300000 award from the National Science Foundation, the study combines sophisticated computer simulations and water tank studies using physical models. Source: WPI

Wind turbines cause some turmoil

Wind turbines cause some turmoil Two 100-foot-high wind turbines will need easements from at least five abutting neighbors before they can be erected and begin supplying Michael Gershon’s power needs, the Zoning Board of Appeals decided Tuesday evening. Gershon has a home on Winchell Mountain in the southeastern corner of Ancram — one of his […]
