Your Questions About Wind Turbine Generators
John asks…
how hard would it be to modify a wind turbine or gas generator?
I have been looking into alternate energy forms lately and have put lot of effort into researching how to make my own solar panels. then i got a great ideal. what if i took a wind turbine and rigged it up with neodynium magnets instead of fanblades so that it would spin constantly or what if i took a gas powered generator and rigged it to run using magnets instead? Can anyone tell me if this is possible or if there are any do-it-yourself blueprints already out there?

Sandy asks…
Why is a low starting torque bad for a wind turbine?
Hey. I’m doing a proposal project for my technical writing class and I’m doing it on wind turbines. What I would like to know is why I have been reading that a low starting torque is a detrimental quality to a Darrieus-type vertical axis wind turbine. Wouldn’t this mean that the turbine can start very easily and generate power more often? Does it have something to do with a lot of variability in the generator’s speed because the turbine can start generating power so easily? Thank you.
