What are the drawbacks to using wind turbines or solar panels for providing all power to a home?
What are the drawbacks to using wind turbines or solar panels for providing all power to a home? A. The wind and sun are not constant, so there would be times when no electricity would be generated. B. The wind and sun are constant, so there would be plenty of electricity for the home. C. […]
How much electric in watts will a 1kw wind turbine generate in one day?
On average
Do you think wind-powered airplanes are far-fetched?
I’m curious if airplanes can function from wind energy. It would be awesome if propellers operated from the jet stream while flying. I am no astrophysicist or engineer, so this is conjecture. I believe props spin more than 240 RPM’s. I choose this over omitting CFC’s into the atmosphere. Not only could this reduce energy […]
How much space is required between electricity generating wind turbines?
My family has what seems to be a good location for a few turbines, but I wonder how many we can put on an 8 acre space.
Is there already an solar-wind powered prototype vehicle made?
Just curious… I notice many cars made within the last decade. Electric cars, solar-powered cars, remote controlled cars, and much more. But I thought I seen a wind hover-craft or something that uses stored energy to power up the power fans under the craft thus lifts the machine and uses the wind from the bottom […]
wind turbines?
Has there been any experimenting with a power generating wind turbine, that would be cylindrical? Where you could have a big front opening. Then narrow down tube. then a turbine at the end. What that create more power?
What would be the best motor I could use in a wind powered generator?
I want to find what motors could be used as generators if operated by a wind turbine.
How much energey can the following Savonius Wind Turbine generate?
Take a look at this: http://www.re-energy.ca/pdf/wind-turbine.pdf Approxamatley how much energy can this generate? I probably won’t use it in real winds, just with one of those fireplace pumper things that you open and close and it shoots air out of the little nozzle, if you don’t know what I’m talking about then don’t bother… >.>
how does a sailboat or other wind-powered device get back where to it started?
This confuses me. If a wind powered device such as a sailboat or a kiteboarder is following the wind, how do they get back to where they started? or do they?
If pursuing alternative energy (solar, wind, etc) have a lot of benefits, why do some people still oppose it?
Wouldn’t it create more jobs and be better for the environment, and also reduce dependency on foreign oil? What are some reasons why some people are against alternative energy?
How much electrical energy (in kWh) can the wind turbine generate in a year?
Assume a wind turbine with a hub 50.0 m above the ground, a rotor diameter of 50.0 m, and a wind-power conversion efficiency of 25%. The turbine operates in an area with an average wind-power density of 500 watts/m2 at 50 m altitude. How much electrical energy (in kWh) can the wind turbine generate in […]
What are some free natural powered things like wind power?
i already have solar powered things but i have to have the price of some things powered naturally like wind power water power and i need to know to price i have looked all over the internet thanks for your help
Wind Turbines Generate Vocal Opposition in Lake County
Keith Shank, Endangered Species Consultant with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources engages in a discussion with a woman from Libertyville who lives in the offending shadow of a wind turbine that has destroyed her home’s value and driven her domestic pets to aggressive behavior
can I use the generator head from a gas powered generator to make a wind generator?
I have a generator and want to take the generator off the motor and hook up to wind power. Can it work?

How can wind turbines generate large amounts of power when they turn so slowly?
I watched some windmills (in Pennsylvania) on a windy day and noticed that they only turned about 40 to 60 times a minute. I know that the speed of the tips of the blades is very fast, but the rpm is still quite low. And yet we know that wind turbines are capable of generating […]
Wind Powered Beach Mutant Robot
Wind powered skeletal robot made from cheap plastic tubes and rope. Wings gather wind which is stored in bottles and when enough energy is gathered it can move on its many legs. www.itnsource.com Reuters 7968/05
