Wind turbines for example. I understand it needs a generator, but I don’t understand how it generates power into it.
I was also wondering if it worked both ways. Like if a wind turbine provided energy by spinning clockwise, could/would it (hypothetically) power the generator by spinning counterclockwise?

I heard about wind power generator and I want to make a wind power generator to power things in my house. Although I am not sure where to find good information. I want to save money. Is there any reliable information on how to make wind power generator at home?

We recently had a terrible wind storm and shut off power everywhere. I ran out of gas and someone loaned me gasoline, I poured it into my tank, come to find out it was mixed with oil. I have since filled my tank with premium gas and a product to boost the engine. What else can I do or is this normal?
If all the homes in america got solar panels and we started strongly supporting wind energy, our energy dependence in the middle east would be significantly reduced and I’m sure it would cost about the same as the war in Iraq has cost so far, if not less. Why aren’t we doing it?
To: kfaulk211, it is not “relatively” expensive. The cost of the war in Iraq will end up being at least 750 billion dollars (there are only 300 million americans, so that’s about 1/4 or that in homes: a guess of at most 75 million homes comes out to about $10,000 (per home) which could have gone to installing solar panels into every home in America. You also mention that solar power is not efficient but that is only if you use ONLY solar power, it works perfectly fine if used in conjunction with other sources of energy. As for energy being produced by private companies, I don’t see why the gov’t couldn’t have a private company produce these products and offer them to the American people.

which produces greater amount of power, vertical-axis wind generator or horizontal-axis wind generator?
