Is it easier to detatch a bolt with you fingers? or use a wrench? The wrench is easier because the farther the force is from the axis of rotation, the greater the tourque. Think of it this way.

History shows without a shadow of doubt that all four of those 'atributes', are part and parcel of these 'enlightened' souls. spikey That just about sums up any organised religion for me matey.

It was a reply to an earlier post, but hit the general post button instead of the reply to comment button. Any clearer? Bit hard to understand reading it isn’t it!

You want speed. The higher speed the device rotates at, the more power will be output. The only reason you would want high torque, is if you were using the wind to run a mechanical energy output to do actual physical work. Magnetic pickup coils do not have high friction, so no need for torque. Torque is Useless in this respect. But, you dont need Torque in an Energy Generation device. You want speed.

Wind turbines have to be able to overcome inertia to speed up. Angular Acceleration = Tourque divided by Inertia. More inertia means you need more tourque. So without tourque the turbine would take an extraordinary amount of time to get up to speed... in a vacuum. Turbines have to overcome A LOT of drag from the air to maintain their speed. That requires a force. Rotational force is TORQUE! Both the power generator and the turbine have inertia that must be overcome to reach high speeds.
