Your Questions About Wind Turbine

Michael asks…

How to make a working model of a wind turbine?

How can I make a working model of a wind turbine? I only want it to generate a very small amount of electric and be around 6-10 inches high. What do I need for it and how do I do it?

admin answers:

A wind turbine is basically an electric turbine on top of a stand and with blades attached.

I would recommend you salvage a motor from a small electrical device. If you can find a small fan, then you only need to put it on a stand of some sort to make a wind turbine because it all ready has a turbine and blades.

An electric generator is just an electric motor in reverse. So any device that has an electric motor can potentially be used to make a turbine.

Donald asks…

How much electricty does a wind turbine produce in a day?

I was just wondering how many kwh or mwh a wind turbine can produce on a average day. Can anybody help me out?

admin answers:

It depends on a number of factors, including average wind speed for your area, and the turbine design.
Fill in your parameters here: http://www.reuk.co.uk/Calculate-kWh-Generated-by-Wind-Turbine.htm and it will give you an energy rating in kW-hr
