Ok, so im in a go green camo and we just got mini solar panels to take home (about the size of an itouch) i know i cant make those at home but i was wondering if i could make a windmill at home. Not a big one, just a small one (i wouldnt use it to power anything just for fun to try this out.) but how do i make one and hwo do i hook up the wires?

IT has to be really small like at least under 2 feet,a lightbulb, moter and a switch? add if you want

is there a website you know that might provide that ?

i need to make a table of comparison of the most known alternative energy sources .. comparing their effeciencies, sizes (MW) , cost and stuff like that in numbers

would appreciate ur help .. thnx

I'm looking for a graduate program emphasized in renewable energy probably it will be a good idea applying to Henry Samueli School at UCI but I'm not quite sure since I haven't look for other Universities... Have you heard about any good program ?

Would the station be able to generate enough electric power to supply all of his customer's daily consumption?

Truth Seeker- i just asked the Danes. They said how they did it was to punch all of the environmentalist who would try to block power lines from the windmills to the source in the face. We can't do that here. There is more protection for the spotted horney toad than for human fetusus here.

Im in high school and i cant really find that much on a good website for alternative energy.It seems i have to make everything up myself! help me find something i need help say anything i will use it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are some ways energy is waasted?
Whatypes of energy are popular in oyur native countr? (state your country)
What is the main problem with renewable energy sources?

I really have no idea how much windmills cost. I was just curious if there is a site somewhere that has costs to be windmills that are maybe like 500kW, 750kW or 1 megawatt producers of electricity? Does anyone know an approximate price or website with pricing for these?

Many alternative energy projects are emerging. Any recommendations?

I really like finding out information on go green and renewable energy. But i don't know what major, or what college would be best for it.

how is wind power produced and how does it work and generate electricity

I can't find any good sites. A good reply would be great but a good site will be worth an easy 10 points. Thanks!

i need to no the impact that renewable energy has in Australia for my science assignment...

What would create more power from wind or water energy? Multiple small generators or one large one?
Also, what determines the output of an electrical generator? Would size or speed of revolutions change the output?

Alternative enrgy, energy source.

It would be good if someone helps on the sharing knowledge processes of Visa for different countries which is required to work over there.

I'm working on a science research project that involves replacing the grill of an automobile with micro wind turbines of equal surface area and im not sure how to measure the energy gained from the turbines. I simply planning on, in the future, connecting the turbines to an external battery, not rerouting it back into the car.
Also could anyone could help tell me how i could related the decrease change in MPG, as a result of the new drag from the new grill, to the gain in energy from the turbines to see if i get a net gain?
I understand that the law of conservation of energy clearly comes into play but that is why I am not putting the turbines on the top of the vehicle. I will be replacing the grill, an object whose function is to allow air to pass through to the engine to cool it off and protect the engine from foreign objects. I am taking the wasted energy (the drag on the grill) and turning it into something more efficient while maintaining the primary function of the original grill.

I am moving to Dallas, and in Dallas they have like 20 different electric companies and some offer 100% renewable energy such as Green Mountain. I come to the conclusion that the cost is about 30-40% more than ones who don't use renewable energy. Do you think paying the difference is worth it?

What percentage of our national energy needs is being met by the wind power today?

Reagan took over, he dismantled everything Carter had begun. Shouldn't we blame Reagan and every Republican who had similar strategies for this oil disaster? In the 70s, Brazil also started their quest for alternative energy, and it was not derailed by anyone and now they are completely energy independent.

Please tell me??
Which country? How? Why?
