Just How Do Wind Turbines Do The Job?
Going green is the only way to protect future life on this planet. Smaller living organisms face extinction due to their natural habitats being destroyed by man. Sources of energy that do not deplete natural resources have to be made mandatory for use. Wind energy by the use of wind turbines can be tapped into, lessening the carbon footprint left behind by other carcinogenic sources of energy.
The windmill is the best example of a wind turbine. Every part of the windmill plays a crucial role in its functioning. A tower is erected, the height of which depends on the area it’ll be used in. If the landscape is bleak then there is less obstruction in using the air for energy. The speed of the wind can be affected if the air gets deflected due to anything in its path.
Three blades, sometimes two, also known as rotors, are so designed that any pressure of the air on it causes it to move and produce a drag or resistance. The blades are designed at a forty five degree angle for efficient functioning.
The blades are fixed to a shaft which in turn is connected to a gearbox which unlike a car gearbox cannot be used to change speeds. There is a coupling between the gearbox and the generator, but again it is not like the clutch in a car, and is only used as a means of transmission. The generator is the unit which transforms the kinetic energy of the air flow into electrical energy.
The converted kinetic energy is sent to a grid or a storage unit. It is released from here by means of cables to units utilizing this energy. If any stage has a flaw in its functioning, this is reflected through into a monitoring system. Automatic controls ensure that there are no accidents due to under or over functioning of the parts.
Most sources of power have constant monitoring to ensure smooth functioning. Remote positioning of towers housing these turbines makes it difficult to physically manage the controls. It must be emphasized that all parts of the turbine will only work at their optimum if quality materials are used. Safety is of prime importance and should be built in so that sudden surges do not cause a breakdown.
Built in sensors provide a record of the functioning so that troubleshooting can be done. Also, the blades have to be examined for residues. Any change in the weight on the blades, even due to rain, can affect its optimal functioning.
Windmills are a good example of how aerodynamics can change perceptions regarding renewable sources of energy. There are a number of how to manuals available on the net, explaining the hosting of this type of turbine on the rooftop of a house or small establishment. These show how easy it is to harness winds energy to produce electricity that can be used for homes.

I need a switch that turns on an LED when it detects a line mic level audio signal?
I have a device that switches audio and video (audio follow) but what I need are tally lights for the video signals. So what I need is a switch (no relays) that will turn on LEDs when it detects a signal from an audio generator. Then the LED will light up to corespond to the video signal.
Op-amps can be used as voltage comparators and switches. As soon as it detects a voltage larger than your specified threshold, it will allow current to flow to the LED.
So, look for basic op-amp circuits for current/voltage switches.
