Can anyone give instructions on how to make a decorative wind spinner from copper tubing to hang in a garden?

can it be done with one peice of copper tubing and powered(spin)totally by the wind? How? :) Thanks

What determines the power of a wind turbine?

Wind turbines generate electricity through magnetic induction. The blades turn a rotor lined with magnets through copper coils, thus generating voltage. The question is WHAT determines the power output. If the wind is constant, is it the strength of the magnets? Or the length of the copper wire in the coils? Any way a lay-person can figure this out and come up with reasonable voltages expected?

How to build a mini wind turbine?

is there any websites that tell you how to build a mini windturbine that can generate energy? Like it has to have blades and it has to generate electricity. I have copper wires and magnets, but how do you actually build a wind turbine powered by [obviously] wind to actually MAKE the energy? o_O please help! x.x

Are 400 Watts enough to keep water in a closed loop of copper pipes at about 120 degrees Fahrenheit?

I am building my own type of heating system: A meander of copper pipes under the floorboards of my house is filled with water. The water is in a closed cycle and gets warmed up by an instant water heater, which gets its power from a wind turbine capable of delivering 400W. While this may not sound like much, consider that the water heater will be fed with pre-warmed water all the time, as “what goes around comes around” I am hoping to create some serious heat with this (well, at least enough to keep an old Victorian house cozy at temperatures around freezing point). Would you say that could work? I am very unsure of myself, because I know nothing about plumbing and heating.
I’d be very grateful for input.
Thanks.

How solar energy in converted into electricity and stored? what is that electrons or chips and batteries?

The so-called panels consist of some chips?what are those chips?Solar power stored in some Batteries.What are those batteries? Whether these panels can be manufactured in a small set up like any other Village Industries.OR How the heat generated by the solar energy can be transmitted to a copper coil and generate heat in it?
