Your Questions About Wind Generators

Paul asks…

Is there a no-interest loan available from the government for installation of a 1.5 Megawatt Wind Generator?

I own an RV Park, and I would like to install a 1.5 Megawatt wind generator on my property. The cost is going to be around $80,000. I need to know if there are any interest-free loans available from the government for the installation of a wind generator?
By the way, I am located in Texas, and my campground is located outside of the city limits.

Joseph asks…

Why do wind generators need a constant power draw?

I was researching wind generators, and I kept reading something about wind generators needing a big battery bank (300-400 Ah) or a charge controller with a dump or power diversion mode to maintain a draw on the generator at all times.

Betty asks…

Poll: who do you think your state will vote for? McCain or Obama?

Ok, so I live in California, so my perception of how others will vote is skewed. I assume that everyone in the country will vote for Obama because I live in a very liberal state.

Here’s my question: What state do you live in, and who do you think your state will vote for?

Build a solar or wind propelled generator?

I want to know how to make a solar or wind propelled generator? First if i can make a solar and wind propelled generator and combine them to work at the same time. The solar panel can be around 12 volts. I just want to do this as a home project. I don’t want extreme power out of this. I am young but have a lot of experience with building electronics so keep it simple enough for me to do it.

Maria asks…

Wind turbine feasibility study – wind speed monitoring (wind data logging) equipment?

I am planning on installing a wind turbine in my home and considering the price of the turbines in the market, it seemed a good idea to buy a wind data monitoring system. I’m looking for a system that would be measure both wind speed and direction (other sensors are not essential). It should also be able to record considerable amount of data record data (3-4 months) and it should be self powered (or atleast run on a rechargable battery).

Please help me find a manufacturer or dealer of the equipment i’m looking for.

Thank you.

Wind generator for science fair help?

Okay.I’ve been having trouble with this project.

What is the best propeller design for a wind generator?
Would you maximize the surface orthogonal to presumed wind direction? How would this affect long term wear? As we look for alternate energy sources, the design of alternative energy generators will become increasingly important.

I don’t understand what the control and variables would be.

Your Questions About Wind Generators Alaska

Mark asks…

Do you think we should start drilling now?

HAVE JUST FINISHED LOOKING THIS UP ON SNOPES AND READING EVERY BIT.
IN FACT, I PRINTED IT ALL OUT. ABSOLUTELY MIND BOGGLING. I HAVEN’T
CLOSED MY MOUTH YET. ANYBODY WHO HAS TIME TO READ IT ALL, WILL BE HIGHLY INFORMED……….
AND REMEMBER, THE GOVERNMENT HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR EONS……….BLESS
THEIR LITTLE COTTON-PICKIN’ HEARTS. THEY AREN’T OUR BEST FRIEND.

I just googled this and its true.

Ever heard of the Bakken Formation?

GOOGLE it or follow this link. It will blow your mind.

http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1911

The U.S. Geological Service issued a report in April (’08) that
only scientists and oilmen knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn’t been updated since ’95) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota ; western South Dakota ; and extreme eastern Montana …. Check THIS out:

The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska ‘s
Prudhoe Bay , and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil.
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at
503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable… At $107
a barrel, we’re looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion..

‘When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.’ says Terry Johnson, the
Montana Legislature’s financial analyst.

‘This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years,’ reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It’s a
formation known as the Williston Basin , but is more commonly referred to as the ‘Bakken.’ And it stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada . For years, U.S.oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the ‘Big Oil’ companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological break through has opened up the Bakken’s massive reserves… And we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!

That’s enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 41 years straight.

2. [And if THAT didn’t throw you on the floor, then this next one
should – because it’s from TWO YEARS AGO, people!]

U.S.Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World!
Stansberry Report Online – 4/20/2006 Hidden 1,000 feet beneath
the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve
in the world is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction.

They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our
borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the
official estimates:

-8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
-18-times as much oil a S Iraq
-21-times as much oil as Kuwait
-22-times as much oil as Iran
-500-times as much oil as Yemen- and it’s all right here in the

Western United States .

HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this!? Because the democrats, environmentalists and left wing republicans have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil.

James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we’ve got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2
TRILLION barrels. Untapped. That’s more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post.

—-
Don’t think ‘OPEC’ will drop its price – even with this find?
Think again! It’s all about the competitive marketplace, – it has to..
Anarking: People like yourself are always complaining about the deficit, maybe this is a way out.

Looking for an Alaskan to answer a few questions for a research paper?

Hi guys 🙂

I just had a few questions about Alaska, if you can answer any of them (even if it’s just one) it would be wonderful!

-when do the northern lights appear? Do they only appear high north or can they be seen anywhere in the state?
-Do deep lakes freeze over during December and other winter months?
-How deep does the snow get (in general) during winter months? Is it possible to walk outside?
-How common are wild animals? Do you see them often just around town?
-What do you do for fun (in general)?
-During the winter, when it’s night most of the day, is the sky actually black, or is it more blue (like during dusk)? Is it an inconvenience, to have dark days?
-What month do you first start noticing the night/day shift?
-What is a common outfit during the winter months?

Thank you SO much for any help you can offer 🙂

Your Questions About Wind Turbines For Home Use

Laura asks…

Does anyone out there live next to wind turbines?

Our county just passed new zoning. The new zoning has enabled 400′ wind turbines to come into our town. Everyone is in an uproar due to the negitive publicity that surrounds this technology. There will be 135-140 of these massive turbines located near our small town of 20,000 people. Ours is an University town so in the summer that amount dramatically dips down. The turbines will be located within 1500′ to the nearest homeowners that lives on the outskirts of town and within 3 miles of the town itself. I personally will be living 2 miles from the nearest white monster, with open countryside between me and IT. Can anyone fill me in as to what to expect from this new development?
I have recieved some negitive responses to my question regarding wind turbines. I have done my research on these, yes, monsters. First of all we were approached to have several of these turbines on our land and we turned them down flat. Secondly, I am all for “green energy”, but our county has 100,000’s of acres that are not inhabited by animals or humans. We have had people call our county commissioners that have these turbines located next to their homes and towns. There calls have all been negitive. Landowners that signed leases to have them put on their property have said if they would have offered him a million dollars to have them on his property now that he has had to live with them, he would tell them NO WAY. He said he wishes he could take back his lease. People have contacted us to tell us to do whatever we can to get them as far away from our town as possible. NOBODY is against a new way of energy, just not sooooo close to our homes and families.

At which height should i be seriously concerned about lightning strikes and how to compensate?

I am building a wind turbine and it is on a steel rod and i will be using a metal pole footed in the ground (4ft as per the local frost line) as its structure.
I have been contemplating on if i need to use a grounding rod to ensure that the generator ($300) or my charge controller/battery bank does not get damaged.
This is a completely homemade project and i plan to have it stand 9-10ft in the air, it is not for major power production but rather just an experiment and i will use the power generated to provide power for garden lighting.

There are trees in the vicinity of where i plan to place the turbine.
