A wind turbine is a rotating machine which converts the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as a pump or grinding stones, the machine is usually called a windmill. If the mechanical energy is then converted to electricity, the machine is called a wind generator, wind turbine, wind power unit (WPU), wind energy converter (WEC), or aerogenerator.
They turn mechanical energy into electricity
Most commonly through windmills. the wind pushes on a tilted blade causing it to rotate. A generator inside the windmill then turns the kinetic energy of the rotation into an electric current.

What do we call the tool to create wind energy?
The tool that is used to create wind energy is called a wind turbine.
What kind of energy are wind turbine generators used to create?
Wind turbine generators are used to convert the kinetic (movement) energy of the wind directly into electrical energy, which is used to power electrical appliances and needs no further conversion.
How is a wind turbine good?
Wind Energy creates NO greenhouse gasses or Carbon Dioxide. Once installed Wind Turbines create FREE energy.
How do windmills create energy or how does the generator work inside one?
Basically, the wind moves the fins that move the turbine. The turbine then creates electrical energy. (See how does a turbine work)
Is a wind turbine a renewable energy sources?
Yes, a wind turbine is a renewable energy source!!
What energy source does a wind turbine use?
Wind energy.
What does Wind Turbine mean?
A wind turbine is like a giant fan that produces energy from the wind
Is a wind turbine an example of sound energy?
No. A wind turbine uses mechanical energy (the moving air) to generate electrical energy.
What is a sentence for wind energy?
wind energy comes out of a turbine and is turned into energy
Energy transformation that occur during the operation of wind turbine?
During the operation of a wind turbine, the wind spins the blades of the turbine. Therefore, the energy is transferred into the turbine, which generates electricity. A generator is a machine that produces electrical energy from mechanical energy. And so as a result, the wind energy turns into mechanical energy and turns into electric energy. Does that help?
What is a sentence for wind?
wind energy comes out of a turbine and is turned into energy
How does a wind turbine lose energy?
wind turbines can not lose energy.
