What speed of wind is required for a wind turbine to generate electricity?

5mph


Does a wind turbine turn the generator?

yes


How is wind created in a wind turbine?

wind is not created by the turbine but wind that passes through the turbine causes it to turn, and the faster the turbine spins the more energy is created that can be turned into electricity and other resources. Hope This Helps :)


What energy uses kinetic energy of the air to turn a generator?

A wind turbine uses kinetic energy of the air to turn a generator. The wind pushes the blades of the turbine, causing them to rotate, which in turn spins the generator to produce electricity.


What does a wind turbine turn kinetic energy into?

A wind turbine turns kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy by rotating the turbine blades. The mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy by a generator inside the turbine.


What does the turbine blade do to the speed of the wind?

nothing wind turbines make the energy


Which object converts wind power to electricity?

A windmill or a wind turbine. Once there is enough wind the blades turn the generator inside. This generates electricity.


How is wind energy utilised?

wind turbines are placed to make use of wind energy, in the wind turbine an alternator having large gear mechanism is fixed , when the wind blows, the turbine moves, which in turn forces the gears to rotate, which in turn moves the alternator to generate electricity.


What forces will turn a turbine of a generator?

Steam, water, or wind can apply force to turn the turbine of a generator. The turbine converts the kinetic energy from these sources into mechanical energy, which in turn drives the generator to produce electricity.


When a wind turbine stops does it stop the electricity?

Yes, when a wind turbine stops turning, it stops generating electricity. Wind turbines require wind to move their blades, which in turn spin a rotor connected to a generator to produce electricity. Without wind, the turbine cannot generate power.


How is air used to generate energy?

Air/wind can turn a fan or windmill that is connected to a generator in the same way that water is converted to steam in order to turn a turbine. Air, and more specifically wind, is used to power windmills, that cause a turbine to turn, and generate electricity.


Should blades on a wind turbine face flat into the wind or should they be at an angle?

Blades on a wind turbine should be at an angle to the wind, not flat, to generate lift like an airplane wing and turn the turbine. This angle is called the pitch angle and is adjusted to optimize energy production based on wind speed and direction.
