How do wind turbines work?

[Low-Key_Awesome]

What’s controversial is the way you end EVERY sentenc-ah 😅

The bird population is not going anywhere.

Here is the equation, which gives the maximum possible power the turbine produces.
Power = dens ×(2/3 W)³ ×π÷4 ×D²
den = 1.225 kg/m³
D = rotor diameter m
W = wind m/sec
power in watt

[matthewstoltzfus]

Yes, but at $22-$27 million, they never recoup and wattage earned to cost

A skyscraper also kills an astonishing amount of birds

Anyome else notice that the manhole cover has tje galactoc empire symbol on it?

[MrOEFVeteran]

Funny hownonce the offshore windfames started going up the number of dead shales as increaed significantly

[jornahpee]

what do those 1000 families do when it isnt windy

[Djfkum]

Windmills are horrible. They cost a 2-4 million and cost 30-50 thousand a year in maintenance, and it takes years for it to pay back for it in energy. They last 20-25 years and are horrible for the environment once they have to throw them away, and also kill a lot of birds.

Why do people hate them when cats kill 2.2 bill i think

[FishOnCrackMC]

Non recyclable, ugly, doesnt make that much energy, uses a megaton of oil that leaks, etc.

[joefair]

These things are pathetic and an eyesore.
