Who invented the first wind turbine?
The inventor of the wind turbine was Charles F. Brush in 1888.
What is a wind turnbind?
A wind turbine is a form of electric generation. On top of a tall pole there is a turbine (fan thing) and the wind spins it around. The turbine is connected to a motor which generates an electromagnetic flow from the motion.
What does a wind turbine do?
A wind turbines uses the wind to power an electricity generator.
How many watts does an eighty foot tall wind turbine produce?
The height of a wind turbine has no impact on the turbine's output wattage. The factors that effect the watts produced are: * The efficiency of turbine design (this is at most 59%) * the density of the air * the radius of the turbine (that is, the length of each fin) * the velocity of the wind passing through the turbine An 80 ft tall turbine would presumably have a fin length (that is, turbine radius) of at most 30 ft. Thus, at sea level on a 59 degree (F) day, in an 8 m/s (18mi/h) wind, with the most efficient turbine design possible, you would generate approximately 15.4 Kilowatts.

How do you make a wind energy project?
Buy a wind turbine or a windmill.
