No wind turbine can extract more than 59.6 % of the energy from the wind. In 1919, a German physicist named Albert Betz determined that a wind turbine cannot convert more than 59.6% of the energy in the wind to mechanical or electrical energy. The reason for this is that wind turbines extract energy from the wind by slowing the wind. For a turbine to be 100% efficient it would have to reduce the wind velocity to zero. If you were to stop the wind there would be no wind to turn the rotor. The Sun At its essence, the Sun is a huge nuclear reactor. It is a combination of gases, which are compressed to the point where they react and produce stunning amounts of energy. This energy, of course, is the seed of light for our planet. The energy provided by sunlight is necessary for plants and organisms to live 99.9 percent of the time. The sun is the center of our system in more than a few ways. Without the Sun, human beings and life in general could not survive on Earth. Indeed, our solar system wouldn’t exist with the Sun. Here are some interesting facts about the Sun:
As these interesting
facts about the Sun show, it is the dominant mass in our little corner
of the galaxy. Without it, human beings would not exist. |
