Wind, as all moving masses, carries something called kinetic energy. When that kinetic energy hits the large blades on a wind turbine they begin to spin. That spinning can then be used to turn a generator to create electric energy.
Most wind turbines can yaw so that they are perpendicular upwind or downwind (depending what the design is) to the wind. Facing in the right direction allows the turbine to operate as efficiently as possible.
The wind blows and the blades of the turbines turns. The kinetic energy derived from the turning movement of the blades turns in the electric energy in the plant than transferred to the nearest grid by transmission lines.
The wind turbines turn and collect the kinetic energy and turns it into mechanical energy.

How are windmills powered-?
A windmill runs off of the energy that the wind provides. The wind blows against the blades of the windmill and turns them, causing them to turn a turbine. This turbine converts wind energy to kinetic energy, something that we can store and harness.
What makes a wind turbine move?
Wind makes the turbine move and the wind makes elctrecity.
How a wind power system produce electricity?
The wind turns a wind turbine. The turbine turns a generator.
How can you generate power using a mini wind turbine?
To generate power using the mini wind turbine you will have to install a small wind turbine and connect it to the grid.
How much wind can one wind turbine generate in one year?
A wind turbine is not designed to generate wind, it uses wind and generates electricity.
What technology is required to harness wind?
turbine
What device is used harness the energy in wind and convert it into electricity?
A wind turbine is used to convert the wind into energy.
What device is used to harness the energy in wind and convert into the electricity?
A wind turbine is used to convert the wind into energy.
What type of machinery does a wind farm utilize to harness energy?
My my my, what a long question. Let's get to the point. The answer is a Wind Turbine Genorator. There happy?
What does a rooftop wind turbine do?
A rooftop wind turbine can be installed to harness the power of the wind similar to the way solar panels use the sun's power. This would lower the conventional amount of electricity you would normally use, thus lowering your power bill.
What fuel is used in windmills?
Windmills harness wind power, and were originally used for grinding grain. Today, the wind energy is converted into electricity by turbine generators.
Where do humans collect wind?
People have constructed wind turbines to harness (not collect) the energy from wind(s). In some areas, there are wind turbine "farms" with windmills set up across hillsides and the landscape.
How are windmills powered-?
A windmill runs off of the energy that the wind provides. The wind blows against the blades of the windmill and turns them, causing them to turn a turbine. This turbine converts wind energy to kinetic energy, something that we can store and harness.
What does a wind turbine make?
A wind turbine makes wind for scientific study.
What does wind turbine help?
a wind turbine generates electricity for or use
What does Wind Turbine mean?
A wind turbine is like a giant fan that produces energy from the wind
What makes a wind turbine move?
Wind makes the turbine move and the wind makes elctrecity.
