for example would i be able to put a windmill in my back yard? No because of the spacing of the homes (are too close to each other) but what are some other factors that play an important role in choosing a good location for a windmill or a wind farm?

Does anybody know if there is any federal assistance available in the form of loans or grants to set up a windmill or solar paneling in a private residential house?

I am making a small wind turbine(also known as a windmill) for my schools science fair this is, I have an idea for its design, but i need the basic info. about it first. I need to know the basic componants if possible, and how to build a small one, with about enough electricity to power a lamp or two. If its not to much to ask I would like to know (as basic as possible) how it converts it into electricity. Thanks in advance. All answers are apreciated

The annual electrical energy demand is 300,000,000 KWh. Is it possible to build a wind farm that could provide electricity throughout the year? If so, how many wind mills will be required to build the wind farm. Average wind speed is 15 mph. A state-of-the-art windmill has a rotor blade length of 75 m and the practical efficiency of a wind mill is 40%.

I stumbled across this site that shows you how to make your own windmill and solar panels... earth4energy.i8.com
Do you think it's a good investment? If it works I'm a welder and I could pop a whole bunch of windmills up easy but thats only if this works.. What do you think?

Local energy company in maple grove, mn has a windmill that produces electricity. Last night I noticed driving by that it was turning with good force like it was really windy, but there was no wind.

Wind Power The electrical power generated by a
windmill varies jointly with the square of the diameter
of the area swept out by the blades and the cube of the
wind velocity. If a windmill with a 10-foot diameter
and a 16-mile-per-hour wind generates 15,392 watts,
how much power would be generated if the blades
swept out an area 12 feet in diameter and the wind
speed was 15 miles per hour?

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.

It is free. We can put a windmill everywhere. And it is better than solar because you can use it night. Name another energy source that is free and does not pollute. The government should give free windmills to everyone.

each person gets a windmill to rent set on their yard for them to use.
the owners of the rental could have the windmills. Also why not have small farms for a small area of town?
I am just trying to get some insite on windmills. I have wanted one for years but my husband said no! Just woundering why everyone could not have one in their yard?

A man wants to build a windmill to generate electricity. What type of energy is the man trying to take from the wind?

movement energy
-chemical energy
-potential energy
-heat energy
-positional energy

I am curious of how they get the electricity produced by a windmill or even solar panel to a city or a city's power grid or city's electric plant. I know obviously they have to send it via wires underground but does anyone have more info on the process like installation, how the electric system (how they send electricity to a grid with out over loading it.

A windmill, and windfarm, takes energy out of the wind and converts it to electricity. Over time, and after lots of years of windfarms, we could have taken enough energy out the wind that winds would slow down around the planet. What do you think will happen?

(NOTE: back in the 1800's they thought there was infinite coal and oil and never imagined environmental issues with burning it, so this question may be a real problem).

I want to build my own windmill for electricity

is there a
1) cost effective
2)electrical generating
3)efficient
windmill that could be installed on a residence.

i've seen units that cost about 40,000.00 USD.
(i donnot think this is very cost effective.)

My family is thinking of using a solar panel and a windmill to power our home. Do you think this would work well in Northern Ohio?

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?
