Question by Khubaiza: Where can gold be used in wind turbines?
The main parts of a wind turbine is the blades, the rotor, the generator, the tail and the tower. But where (and how) can “gold” be used in one of these parts (or others) when the properties of gold is put into consideration?
Thank you for your answer, but if you HAVE to use gold in a wind turbine where would you use it?

What do you think? Answer below!
rogerthe only gold that i would use is in the connectors for the computer monitoring the wind speed and direction and other things used to control the turbine.
The property that is used is the non-corrosive nature of gold (along with its fairly good conductivity)
John Paulgold are good conductor of electricity, and sometimes it will alloy it with copper for semiconductor devices, gold are not good in turbine blades or same, because of the brittleness against high torque force, it is also not advisable in generators and rotors, they are not enough to produce magnitic force to convert it into electrical energy, it also not advisable in the construction of the tail and the tower, you need enough strength to the carry the whole weight of the wind mill, and the most number one reason is……………. it is too expensive to construct a huge wind turbine made of gold
