How do you build a windmill for electricity?

Well, if you know how to make a windmill then to make it make electricity follow these steps. Wind wire around a hollow small wooden box. Put a magnet inside the box. Glue the box closed, then attach the box to a rotor. Repeat for all rotors. Connect all the wires to either an appliance, or a capacitor. Good luck!


What is the difference between salient pole and non salient pole machines?

Rotors used in Synchronous alternators can be classified into 1)Salient and 2)Non-Salient Pole Rotors. Salient pole rotors are used in application with speeds from 100 to 1500rpm. They are alternative known as "projected pole" type of rotors. The poles mounted on the rotor are made of laminations made of steel. The poles are connected to the rotor shaft by means of dovetail joints. Each pole has a pole shoe around which the winding is wound. The salient pole rotor is generally used in applications where the prime mover is a hydel turbine or a combustion engine which have low or medium speeds. Salient pole rotors usually contain damper windings to prevent rotor oscillations during operation. Non-salient pole rotors are generally used in application which operate at higher speeds, 1500rpm and above. The prime movers in these applications are generally gas or steam turbines. These are sometimes known as "drum rotors". The rotor is a cylinder made of solid forged steel. The slots on which the windings are fixed are milled on the rotor. The number of poles is usually 2 or 4 in number. Since these rotors are cylindrical, the windage loss is reduced. The noise produced is also less. These rotors have higher axial length. These rotors do not need damper windings.


What type of supercharger has a positive displacement pump which consist of two rotors inside a housing?

turbo charger


Can an aircraft overcome lift without wings or propellers?

No, that is not possible except with rotors. (which I would include among propellers)


Changed pads rotors calipers brake hoses bled lines am getting fluid to the brakes there are no leaks brake pedal is stiff when engine is off but it loosens when engine starts no brakes why is this?

the master cylinder is whats bad

How do you move a windmill without a crane?

Disassemble wind mill into several parts. It really depends on the SIZE and TYPE of windmill. (mono pole ,3 legs, 4 legs, guy wire system, does it have a brake on the rotors?)

Do you need to grind the rotors when placing new brake pads?

If the rotors are in good condition, not warped, not scratched, then you can replace the pads without turning the rotors. Inspect the rotors carefully.


Do you do a wheel alignment before or after changing rotors?

What is reciprocating rotors?

A reciprocating engine is different than when using rotors. Rotors are used in a pistonless rotary engine, using one or more rotors and sometimes called rotary pistons.


Change front rotors on 2003 Camry?

Tap on the rotors with a hammer, after removing the tire and wheel and the brake assembly. The rotors will come loose. Slide the rotors off and reverse the process.


How do you change the front rotors and brakes on a 2000 olds intrigue?

Remove the wheel, the calipers and the rotors, reverse procedure with new rotors.


Are the rotors on a 2000 dodge durango in the front rear or both?

Rotors on the front drums on the rear.


What causes a warped brake rotor?

Excessive or heavy and continuous braking may warp brake rotors. Braking hard (heating the rotors a lot) and then going through water (which quickly cools the hot rotors) may also cause the rotors to warp. If the brake pads or brake rotors are getting thin, the rotors will warp more easily.
