Wind Power

Jared D. Ingram asked:

power is a great source of alternative power. When the sun heats up parts of the atmosphere the hot air rises and cooler air from other parts blow in to replace that air. This is how is produced. This is powerful enough to drive large fan blades. These blades are the blades of wind mills. They are attached to generators. When the blades rotate they turn the generator. The generator then produces power. This is . Small generators of 8 to 11 feet can be assembled at home using kits available in the market.

Wind farms are set up in large flat areas where there is an uninterrupted flow of wind. There are many mills set up in a farm. Very often wind farms are set up offshore as offshore wind is more steady and stronger. Often in densely populated countries it is difficult to set up wind farms due to lack of space. For this reason offshore wind farms are very viable though there is a large setup and maintenance cost. In Europe because of dense population and presence of large and shallow water areas wind farms are much preferred.

is a great source of power. It helps in reducing the consumption of which is required to conventionally produce electricity. In this way it also keeps the environment less polluted. In thee days the environment needs to be a big concern and we can no longer be passive watchers. In our search for alternative sources of , we have made a great advancement in utilizing .

Celeste Yates asked:

The latest report of BWEA (British Wind Energy Association has stated that Wind Power is currently the fastest growing energy technology. They are aiming to have 5% of the UK’s power requirements coming from onshore wind farms, by 2010. The UK Government is looking have another 10% of the energy coming from other renewable resources, by the same date. They are investing around 1? billion in the wind farms.

Europe hopes to, by year 2020, be able to produce 20% of it’s energy through renewable sources. German Government is looking to find other ways of reducing greenhouse gases outside wind farms. This is due to a report in 2005 where they stated that wind farms were expensive and inefficient.

There are also other elements of wind power energy that concern the government, such as the aesthetic aspect. The propellers also create a large amount of noise and are disruptive to the bird population.

However, new designs are being created to get around these issues. Viktor Jovanovic is one of these designers. He is busy created a model called the Stormblad Turbine [http://www.jovanovic.f2s.com/] which promises to deal with some of the problems. By designing it more to a jet engine the a propeller, it can operate in high winds, unlike the current model.

Terra Moya Aqua (TMA), based in Wyoming, is also working on a model, which is easier to operate and is quieter. This model is also free from ground resonance. They have been working on the design for the last 11 years, when Rasmussen, President of TMA, teamed up with Ron Taylor, TMA Chairman.

Both designs are smaller then the current model and focus on different problem areas. The other issue with Wind Power is that the power cannot be stored and is therefore unreliable. However Jovanovic thinks this will change in time, as new solutions are created.

Quite Revolution, based in the UK, is being bombarded for orders with their new design which is different from others so far. The model doesn’t have to track round to catch the wind, plus the material it is made from makes the propeller more quite and creates more power.

Wind Power?

ryseesdg asked:

Wind Energy?
“950W of power at 45km.hr winds
Delivers 100 Kw / hours a month at an average wind speed of 5.4 m/s
Adjustable voltage (12/24/36/48V)”

Can someone please tell me what that means? And my question is would you be able to indefinitely power a small fridge, a TV and other things on that wind turbine which costs $3 000? I’m posting this many times because I’m not satisfied with the answers I already received. People are just not making it simple enough to comprehend. Its all spanish to me.

  1. The system will deliver limited quantity of low voltage lighting is about it.
    For outside area and security lighting is about it.
    For outside area and security lighting say enough for outside area and security lighting is about it.
