	turbine - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about turbine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Steam turbines are used to drive generators in power stations and ships' propellers; water turbines spin the generators in hydroelectric power plants; and gas turbines (as jet engines; see jet propulsion) power most aircraft and drive machines in industry.
		Impulse turbines work on the same principle as the water wheel and consist of sets of buckets arranged around the edge of a wheel; reaction turbines look much like propellers and are fully immersed in the water.
		In a gas turbine a compressed mixture of air and gas, or vaporized fuel, is ignited, and the hot gases produced expand through the turbine blades, spinning the rotor.

	Electricity Generation Using Small Wind Turbines At Your Home Or Farm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Small wind turbines, (see Figure 1), which are generally defined as producing no more than 100 kW of electricity, are designed to be installed at homes, farms and small businesses either as a source of backup electricity, or to offset use of utility power and reduce electricity bills.
		The actual power production from a wind turbine will be influenced by many other factors, such as: the efficiency that the wind turbine is able to extract energy from the wind; the elevation at which the turbine is located; and other design characteristics of the wind turbine.
		Large turbines turbine blades rotate in the range of at 50-15 rpm at constant speed, although an increasing number of machines operate at a variable speed.

	Community Wind: The Third Way by Paul Gipe
		Wind turbines, for example, can be placed in one's backyard, near a factory, on a farm, at a harbor, within cities as in Toronto, or even offshore from cities as near Copenhagen.
		This modularity enables placing wind turbines nearer the load than possible with large, centralized power plants, providing the resiliency necessary for stable electricity networks that was identified twenty years ago by Amory and Hunter Lovins in their book Brittle Power.
		The turbines' production would then be used to offset the retail rate on coop members' electricity bills in proportion to the amount of investment each had in the turbine.

		Installing new turbines and upgrading turbine runners has increased the installed capacity of Ontario Hydro’s hydroelectric generating units Computerized peak efficiency controllers (see Appendix 3) used in conjunction with updated servo motors have improved the efficiency of the hydroelectric cycle in plants where major capital investments were not justified.
		Ontario Hydro’s CO2 emissions will be stabilized at 1990 levels of 26 Tg by the year 2000.
		Ontario Hydro is operating within current emission regulations so the emission reductions created are early and surplus.

		This, combined with the introduction of new electricity marketing rules in Ontario, could result in more homeowners becoming energy self-sufficient, at times sending power into the grid and at other times receiving the power from their local utility.
		Net metering is a practice that allows small power producer, such as a residence or farm with a wind turbine or solar installation, to connect to the electrical power grid.
		The Ontario government is studying a recommendation that policies and procedures be developed to permit net metering across the province.

		The turbine, with a capacity of 1.8 megawatts - or enough to power for about 600 homes - is located beside the utility's Pickering nuclear power station, just east of Toronto.
		Ontario Power is also studying the idea of a 10 MW wind farm in the Bruce Peninsula, on Lake Huron.
		One small turbine, about one-third the size of the Pickering unit, is already operational there and the firm is in talks with manufacturers to buy eight to 15 more, he said.

		The force of the water turns the blades of the turbine which then turns the shaft inside the turbine.
		The shaft inside the turbine is connected to a generator, which generates electricity.
		Once the water passes the turbine it flows through a draft tube out of the station and back into the river.

		The three large blades of the wind turbine, 29 meters in length each, will convert the energy of the strong winds blowing from Lake Ontario into enough electricity to meet the needs of 250 typical Ontario houses, even more if the homes are energy efficient, a goal which Windshare is also pursuing.
		Fortunately, modern wind turbines are quiet, and have far less impact on birds than do Toronto’s tall, night time-illuminated buildings, or Toronto’s cat population, or the tens of thousands of cars driving in Toronto.
		Windshare members members receive an annual financial dividend proportional to the number of shares of the turbine they own and their share in the sale of the electricity generated by the turbine.

		According to Ontario Power Generation (OPG), "Wind power is one of the fastest growing sources of electricity generation in the world." OPG's contribution to this particular "green power" movement involves the current operation of two Ontario wind turbine facilities.
		The turbine was manufactured by Vestas Wind Systems, the world's largest manufacturer of wind turbines, in Denmark.
		Once completed, the turbine was shipped by sea to Oshawa in various compartments, and the compartments were then trucked from the Oshawa port to the Pickering site.

		Rain, snow, sleet or storms the Lakota SC turbine is made to take it all and continue to put out the power.
		In addition, since the blades are very light they can take advantage of wind gusts that heavier blades can't because their inertia is too high to react before the gust is over.
		Unlike plastic with powdered carbon blades that bend and flutter, the carbon fibers in the Lakota blades are 7 times stiffer than common steel, and carry the loads from tip to root.
