Wind power, Wind Energy, Wind Mills, wind Turbines

Fans and wind power the most significant difference between air and water in regard to energy is that they are very different in density. Water is about 800 times as heavy as air, volume for volume. This means that energy is much more tightly packed in water, so that water machines can be conveniently small. Air machines, on the other hand, must handle large volumes of air, and so are large and cumbersome

How does a Wind Turbine Work? The energy in the wind turns two or three propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity, How does a Wind Turbine Work?

How to calculate wind power P = 0.5 x rho x A x C_p x V³ x Ng x Nb, Cp = Coefficient of performance (.59 {Betz limit} is the maximum thoretically possible, efficiency), Ng = generator efficiency, rho = air density 1.225 kg/m³, Nb = gearbox/bearings efficiency ~1

Power available in the wind
E_K=m.v²/2 ; P_w=r.A.v³/2 ==> r=airdensity=1.25kg/m³; v=windspeed; A = rotor swept area; 4 Beaufort (light breeze)=21-30km/h ; P_tot=h_W.h_G.r.A.v³/2 ==> h_G=generator efficiency; h_W=windmill efficiency; P_m mechanical power (Watts) = 0.593 P_w available wind power (the Betz coefficient: max efficiency for propeller type windmills)
