    Great presentation!

  • yfrimer says:

    Yes, you can use this for your science project presentation! have fun

    @samtech79 this is a really simple method, a short summary of the workings of wind turbines.

  • LivGirl321 says:

    im gonna use this in my science project presentation, k?

  • joezasada says:

    We shouldn’t be building wind turbines because they are extremely expensive and can’t meet power demands. Better to invest our moneys in Hydro and Nuclear – they are clean, safe, and are actually capable of meeting out power demand.

    Lol, I’ll give you the explanation about the turbine. Ofcourse, electricity is the moving of electron to the outside element or in short, it’ the flow of electrons. And magnet especially the negative one, repels the electrons at the metal, one it repels strongly, electrons are ejected and run through the wire, and become electricity. Or in short, accodring to micheal faraday, when a copper is move through a magnetic field, it flow electricity. And that turbine is composed of copper aand magnet

    what about the copyrights? can i use it for demonstration purposes?

    thanks.

    Nice video. But it looks like you were explaining to the kids in school.

    i do exhibition about renewable energy
    this site is useful

    @samtech79 thats exactly what I want to find. Where is that stuff? Plus can I see the math? (the aero-dynamic related)

  • samtech79 says:

    @Panzerbeast I understand where you are coming from and it mostly has to do with grid connections. No machine over 100kw is relant on a DC storage device. All wind turbines from 100kw to 5mw are directly tied to the grid or in a few rare installiations actuelly supporting the grid.
    They are different machines, much like a moped is not a motorcycle and a go kart is not a F1. When one scales a small wind device against a mig and calls it a wind turbine I would sure hope he gets it right.

  • Panzerbeast says:

    @samtech79 Depends where you come from. But correct me if I am wrong turbines convert the source of the prime mover into mechanical energy. then the generator part converts mechanical energy into electrical energy? So whats the difference between a wind turbine (say an induction machine) that produces 10kw or 800kw?

  • samtech79 says:

    @Panzerbeast Sorry pal but I’ve been working in wind energy for the last eleven years. I have a pretty good idea of exactly how they work. This video is incorrect. What this guy is trying to discribe in was is called a Windgen. “Turbine” is reserved for machines larger than 100kw.

  • Panzerbeast says:

    @yfrimer You can get set ups like this connected to the grid. Samtech is misinfomed.

  • Panzerbeast says:

    @samtech79 Yes you can get storage with some wind turbines. If there is no wind, the wind turbine will be stationary. For turbines that use a battery connected system, any excess power is stored in the battery which can be used when there is no wind. If your turbine is grid connected then your energy will come from the grid until such times as the turbine resumes power generation.

    uhm. everyone knows that already I guess. I was hoping of a more in-depth video. But great vid nonetheless!

    Holy fuck, this animation is probably so bad it’s actually funny. No wonder such Jews don’t know how to educate people.

  • wisdomcomeswithage says:

    @yfrimer
    Don’t let the rude and unkind upset you. I think they go through youtube just looking for people to harass. There are those that think they know everything, but instead of helping just try to pull others down. Very rude.

    Youniversity XD

  • baeronautics says:

    @yfrimer now i have a question … how a generator work , how is electricity produced?
    , we didnt learn anything new we all know that

    this guy sux dik

    @cloudburstlenepmhq read my other comment on this page

  • dzgfdg says:

    @despinapjr the oil companies don’t do shit with corruption, it’s just you stupid americans that don’t know any bloody thing about renewable sources of energy. Free energy is a lie, there can never be free energy. you will always lose energy through conversion
