for a science project i have to make a wind mill or wind turbine ( a small one no taller than a foot long) and then i have to measure which shape of the blade creates the most amps..how should i connect it to an amp meter and where can i get materials to make one?
how should i get the wind turbine to connect to the generator and the meter..do u know anywhere to buy pre made small windmilll/windturbines to hook up to generators

Okay I was thinking of ways to help with the energy crises and was wondering:
if generators need to spin to make electricity

and when things go fast there's wind,

why not hook a generator to the car (on top many in a box, with two openings on the front and back)and use the wind to spin the generator causing electricity to be made.

So what's wrong with that idea?

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?

Hello,

I was wondering if one day I wanted to buy good products for generating energy from alternative resources like the Wind power and the Solar power, which companies are the best in supplying those kinds of generators?

I'm not just thinking of small generators for homes, I'm thinking of a bigger level too. Like for big industrial companies or even National level!

Thanks a lot for your expertise exchange

As a geography major, I've done extensive research on alternative energy. I have a new idea called "rain power." I think we should instill rooftop generators incorporated into rainwater collection. Rain falls diagonally rather than straight. Therefore, the terminal velocity from the raindrops could spin these turbines and generate electricity. Monsoon Season in Asia would be fantastic for producing it. The same is true regarding hurricane season in the Gulf Coast and rainy season in the Pacific Northwest. What do you think? Do we have the brain power to harness rain power?
