Wind turbines mainly utilize either two or three large blades that are moved by the wind. This movement causes the rotation of a generator that provides electricity. In the past few years, wind turbine design had been under review in order to benefit wildlife and to promote better efficiency.
While most in the environmental movement heartily approve of the use of wind power, many do not like the fact that wind turbines often kill migratory birds, raptors and bats. In order to prevent bird death, a wind turbine is being designed that uses an inner compression cone. This Read the rest of this entry »
The debate surrounding wind energy has found new life as more and more designs for airborne turbines flood the markets. On the surface, the idea is rather ingenious. The designs eliminate the need to construct costly towers, and the noise complaints that plague many wind farm projects can be eliminated. In theory, we can certainly construct these kind of generators. The technology is more than sufficient to accomplish the job. The real question, however, is whether or not these designs are feasible when Read the rest of this entry »
When you drive around in some of the more rural areas of your state, you might notice large wind turbines. These turbines might looks frightening, but they are actually helping to put a stop to the energy crisis that most of us are seeing nowadays. These large turbines spin at rapid rates and produce energy from the wind to power farms, businesses and even homes in the local area. This is helping to cut energy costs and allow different buildings to Read the rest of this entry »
Is the wind energy industry new? This is a question that more people have been asking as new and cheaper alternatives to fossil fuels begin to surface. The truth of the matter is that wind energy has been around for many years. The wind has been harnessed for a wide range of tasks, and it has been since before the Industrial Revolution began. Before electricity was invented, thousands of successful farmers were using wind energy in the form of windmills. Wind energy was also harnessed by placing sails on ships for transportation purposes. It is actually Read the rest of this entry »
Wind energy is a natural source of energy production. Energy generation depends on the placement of wind turbine blades. The blades should be sufficient in size in order to generate the most energy possible. Windmills are a popular way to operate water pumps in rural areas of the country. Both types of energy generators use natural resources to generate electricity.
Many homeowners are turning to wind energy as an alternative source. You can save money over a long period of time when you choose wind energy. Wind power is also used to operate machinery commonly Read the rest of this entry »
