Can anybody tell me the minimum speed required by a wind mill to generate electricity?

What is the minimum speed required by a wind mill to generate electricity?

It is bit difficult to explain:

Read this:

Tip Speed Ratio Calculations
The tip speed ratio is given by dividing the speed of the tips of the turbine blades by the speed of the wind – for example if a 20 mph wind is blowing on a wind turbine and the tips of its blades are rotating at 80 mph, then the tip speed ration is 80/20 = 4.

This is for fun.
