design of a wind turbine blade
hELP WITH TURBINES?
1. What might be a problem with assuming that speed equals power?
2. How did the area of the blades correspond with the speed?
3. Try to explain the difference by applying the principles of physics.
4. Most commercial wind generators have two or three blade turbines. What is a possible explanation for this design?
You are more likely to get your questions answered if you ask one question at a time.
I’ll answer question #4:
Wind turbines are designed not to get the most speed out of the wind, but the most POWER. Two blades (or three) are capable of capturing as much power as many blades–they’ll spin just as fast (which turns the generator just as fast) than one with multiple blades. (This is also true with airplane propellers–and for the same reasons.) And, the fewer the blades, the less drag on the overall design (which would reduce POWER.)
Next time, I’ll answer one of the others–but only if they are asked separately. Multiple questions defeat the purpose and design of this site.
