Can i make a wind turbine out of….?

i was wondering if you could use a microwaves fan to make a small wind turbine or what here's a pic

Which ETF mirrors the Nuclear Energy and Alternative Energy sector ?

I know that Germany is the leading nation in prodcucing electricity, etc from Wind energy. But the govt should have passed some laws taht would encourage wind power right? Also, are the ppl taht use wind power given subsidies, etc
Is there smth on the internet where i can find laws and regulation, etc related to this?
Thanks in advance for ur help.

Should wind farms pay $7000 per bird killed?

http://www.wacotrib.com/news/content/gen/ap/US_ExxonMobil_Birds.html

Below is an article describing how "only" 6,400 birds can be expected to be killed by wind turbines.

http://www.awea.org/faq/sagrillo/swbirds.html

How is it that Exxon-Mobil only kills 80 birds over a five year period, but windfarms kill 30,000 birds over the same period, when Exxon-Mobil produces such a large amount of energy compared to wind farms.

Considering its location, climate, ecosystems etc Whats the best to use other than fossil fuels? And why? Like, i know of lucas heights.. but why do they use that?

i need a solar panel and wind energy generator?

i need a solar panel (or panels together) that's no bigger than 16" by 10". the panel(s) need to produce a combined total of at least 7 volts and roughly 50 amps (50000 MA) and higher preferably 8 volts 70 amps. i need the panel(s) to be under 0 if possible. now with the wind generator i need something small like salt shaker size or smaller than i can rig to a fan or something

Can we use the Earth's core to produce renewable energy by using the enormous heat to vaporize water into steam and spin a turbine to generate mega watts of electricity?

The first step would require us to understand the area of continents in 3D perspective. We would have to drill around a one to two thousand mile deep hole from any land mass. Is this feasible?

ok...

it needs some experimentations, however it seems to work very well...
This NaCl peculiarity comes from its high value of the heat of fusion(about 300 kwh/m3 - in addition a little salt mine can easily contain 100 millions m3 of salt...) .
It means that solar energy can be used to melt the salt, then it can release heat constantly...

Do you agree?...........

Can you name a type of renewable energy?

ok ppl this needs answered ASAP for this assignment

i have to name 6 types of renewable energy sources...i have

biomass
geothermal
wind
solar
nuclear

and i need 1 more so plz answer for me!!!!!!!
hydro is water it covers all of those answers but thanks anyways

oh and i just found it it was biodiesel

In terms of efficiency and feasibility?

Super cheesy wind energy slogans?

I have to give a speech on wind energy and I need a really cheesy wind energy slogan. Nothing dirty or fart related please. I have to say it in class.

was it?

"not in my ocean view"?

I work at a place where people drop off stuff for free, and I salvage what I can and sell the items for just enough to pay for the electricity bill. I was wondering what kind of items that would normally be no good would have a motor in it that would be good for a wind turbine. As a company that pushes for going green, I think having green energy, by making wind turbines, would be great for this small company.

I've read that treadmills have good ones, and older computers. What other things would have them?

What are some jobs or careers offered by wind turbine manufacturing companies and industries of wind turbines technology?

I am currently in a pre-engineering program and am really interested in renewable energy such as solar, windmill, and the like. How would I get involved in projects likes this? Mechanical or maybe electrical? I was thinking maybe nuclear, but I dont like chemistry that much. I am also aware of some schools that offer renewable degrees but there are none in my area.

Financial costs involved in wind energy production?

ok so need 2 know bout the financial costs of wind production. i need actual answers plz i can't find anything exact anywhere else.
websites that i would b able 2 understand would b helpful fanks guys :P

what alternative forms of energy could be incorporated into everyday living by taking the place of oil. A form or energy that can be utilized in a particular sector of the transportation industry...

How does wind energy techology work?

Good infortaion

shouldn't something that good be able to promote and sell itself.
