How could i start my energy/wind turbine company?

by stantontcady

Question by Jim B: How could i start my energy/wind turbine company?
I am a 23 year old economics student. It is my ambition to develop a company that generates energy through offshore wind farm using wind turbines. It has not been attempted in my city (nor in my country) yet but the wind blows EVERYDAY! So much so that the town i live in is called the ‘windy city’. I always day dream of how successful this a company of this nature could become. Is there anyone out there with some solid advice for me??

Q&A: Can I convert an electric start mower starter into a wind turbine generator?

by Tiger Hobbes

Question by : Can I convert an electric start mower starter into a wind turbine generator?

This starter is designed so that a shaft with copper wire coiled around it has a current passed through it creating a rotational magnetic field that spins the shaft. Is it possible for the rotation of this shaft inside of a magnetic field to produce electricity?
