for example how much electricity would i get with 20 mph winds in an hour, it would be best if you give me a website/link

Size matters so you could get 2 megawatt hours if you had one of these. http://www.ecotricity.co.uk/projects/plan_greenpark.html
The power is proportional to the square of the radius so bigger is very much better.

The large windturbines put out a megawatt. The early machines with 60 diameter blades put out 100 kw. A small home turbine could put out 10 kw. Most turbines need to have a minimum wind speed of 15 mph to function

I don't think you can find that stat. I think it has a lot to do with the type of generator that is using the wind. One generator may produce a lot more electricity than another with the same amount of wind.

Even the cup anemometer which is used to give the wind speed is used as generator of elecricity, the intensity of which gives the wind speed though the current produced is small and the current is a weak current.
