What does happen to the wind after it passes through a wind turbine blade?
Does it increases the wind speed?
Does it increases the wind speed?
Knightmaw said:But doesn`t the wind turbine blade works like as an exhaustor?
Knightmaw said:What I am trying to figure is what if we put several wind turbines just behind the others the rotation of the ones just after the other would be higher than the one on the front...
With that situation we could generate more energy in a less area of a eolic park.
DaveC426913 said:Stop. Let's first figure out what's wrong with your thinking. what makes you think the wind speeds up?
A fan is not a turbine. They are exactly opposite.Knightmaw said:I am thinking as a Fan model working in a reverse mode... it sucks the air and generate an air current... got it?
DaveC426913 said:A fan is not a turbine. They are exactly opposite.
A fan uses energy which is converted into air flow (speeding it up).
A turbine uses air flow (slowing it down) which is converted into energy.
Knightmaw said:Alright! but my thinking is if you reverse the direction of a Fan it will suck the air due to the design of the blades... what I was guessing is if the wind turbine blades had the same wing design... so if a wind pass through a wind turbine blade and it rotate the blades the effect generated by that movement would produce more air flow behind the turbine, got it?
Knightmaw said:Right! it is transformed in eletricity because it rotates the blades, but that is the point the blades are still rotating, and so this rotation would cause and air flow... part of the wind passes throgh the blades between the empty space of the blades, the rotation would cause an air flow due to design of the blades, so the rotation plus the wind that went throgh those blade would generate more air flow?
If you remove energy from something, it either slows down or gets colder.

No, a wind turbine blade does not increase the wind speed. It simply converts the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy to generate electricity.
No, the wind speed does not increase after passing through a wind turbine blade. The blades are designed to slow down the wind as it passes through, which in turn creates lift and rotates the blades.
The wind speed is a crucial factor in the efficiency of a wind turbine. The higher the wind speed, the more kinetic energy is available to convert into mechanical energy. However, if the wind speed is too high, it can cause damage to the turbine and decrease its efficiency.
Yes, the wind speed directly affects the power output of a wind turbine. As the wind speed increases, the amount of kinetic energy available to the turbine also increases, resulting in a higher power output. However, there is a maximum wind speed at which the turbine can operate efficiently.
Yes, wind turbines can operate in low wind speeds, but their efficiency and power output will be significantly lower compared to higher wind speeds. Most turbines have a minimum wind speed requirement for optimal operation, and if the wind speed falls below that, the turbine may not generate any electricity at all.
