Question

hey guys I have a few questions about windmills...

Q:1) Is there a megawatt windmill?

Q:2) What are its watt classifications?

Q:3) How many hp does it take to rotate a 1 megawatt windmill?

Q:4) How much is the price of a 1 megawatt windmill?

Q:5) Where can I buy a 1 megawatt windmill?

Q:6) Is it worth it to buy one?

thanks guys......

Answer 1

1 HP = 745.7 W both of these are power ratings where HP is standard and watt is metric

1MW = 1,000,000 W or 134 HP (this is the power generated by a small car at full throttle

Hope this answers 3 and I think 2 (don't understand it, a watt is a watt)

Answer 2

Q:1)  I am pretty sure that there are windmills in the megawatt range, but they are very large.  

Q:2)  There are many different sizes, it just depends on what you want

Q:3)  1HP=746Watts=0.000746MWatt, 1MWatt=1340.5HP

I would doubt it if it is worth it to buy one unless you consume a lot of electricity.  It might be worth it to buy stock in windfarms though...
