The shaft in turn connected to generator, the mechanical energy is transferred into the generator through the shaft and converts it into electricity. This electricity can use in the home for any electrical need. Another benefit of wind turbine is that they can lower your electricity bill by 50-80%. Thanks for your post i know this much only.

They're even planning to build them in the North Sea. I live in the Netherlands and we have quite a lot of these wind turbines. They’re even planning to build them in the North Sea.

The blade length is not half of the rotor diameter. You are forgetting the hub length. As for cost of construction here's an example. A 21 unit park producing 63 MW cost $1.2 million when it was completed in 2007. This included a 5 year O&M contract. There's 3 years left on the contract and they have the option to renew.

The turbines I work on have a base depth of 40ft. This depth is because of tower frequency and emergency stop. They are great machines and provide jobs and revenue for the surrounding communities.
