The mechanical energy can easily be converted into electrical energy by the rotation of the shaft of the wind turbine in direct current or DC form. From there this form of energy is converted from DC to AC form of energy. This is a very expensive option in the way of costs as well as […]
The most important things to keep in mind while building a windmill are
A) Location:-
The energy of the wind is usually on the higher side and is more useful to generation of energy on the seashores or at the sides of large lakes or water bodies thus making these places ideal for setting up of a […]
Shrouds like those of jet engines cover some turbines. The use of a shroud is that the wind gets channeled. .
The equation for the power harnessed by a shrouded wind turbine is:
P(Pe) = ( QT ((p + (k) where P is the power,
Pe is the power extracted, ( is the turbine efficiency, QT is the […]
1) Aeration Windmill
This is the kind of windmill used for the aeration of a pond or for the pumping of water out of a small water body to serve your garden or animals. The maximum depth that this can pump water from is 15m.
2) Aermotor Windmill
Manufactures since 1888 these are the standard for windmills, it […]
