Video Have you noticed that in some countries wind turbines are painted with redstripes? mainly closed to the outer section of the wind turbine blades. What’s the reason? The red paint on the wind turbine blades signifies the proximity of an airport or airstrip. The number of stripes painted on the wind turbine blades is…
The blades of a wind turbine are affected by four forces: drag, lift, centrifugal, and gravitational forces. Drag Force on Wind Turbine Drag forces are caused by the air molecules that hit the surface of the blade facing the wind. A major component of the drag force acts in the direction that is parallel to…

No wind turbine can capture more than 59.3% of the kinetic energy of incoming wind in an open channel. This is called the Betz limit named after the german scientist Alfred Betz who derived this limit in 1919. Betz Limit Explanation Let’s understand why the wind turbine cant extracts 100% kinetic energy from the wind….
