∙ 13y agoMost modern wind turbines have three blades, and operate facing the wind. Tall towers reach for constant, strong airflow. The wind turns the blades. which spins a shaft , which connects to a generator and makes electricity. The blades are controlled so they always spin at the same rate. Big, efficient turbines can generate up to 3.6 megawatts each. One megawatt is enough to provide power to about 300 or more homes. In New England, all energy plants feed into one regional power grid, and each of us takes our power from that communal source.

How does wind converts into electrcity?
Wind turns the turbines of a windmill, and so, the wind energy gets converted into mechanical energy. This in turn produces electricity...
What is the energy transformation during the operation of a windmill electical to heat energy heat to chemical energy chemical to mechanical energy or mechanical to electrical energy?
A windmill (electric generating) converts mechanical energy to electrical energy which is transmitted and may be stored as chemical energy in a battery or used to produce other types of energy.
Does windmill convert mechanical energy to electrical energy?
Yes, wind power is a source of energy.
Wind is an example of what energy?
A wind turbine or a windmill is a good example of wind energy.: )('',)
What energy transformation occurs in a windmill used to generate electricity?
kinetic energy (potential energy) which transfers to mechanical energy

What kind of energy is a windmill?
Windmill composed of 2 energies. One is the mechanical energy. To make it work the force of the wind allows the windmill to run and this process produces the second energy called the wind energy.
Is wind blowing the vanes of a windmill chemical energy?
No; when wind blows the blades of a windmill, that's mechanical energy.
What is the energy transformation during the operation of a windmill electical to heat energy heat to chemical energy chemical to mechanical energy or mechanical to electrical energy?

Does windmill convert mechanical energy to electrical energy?
Yes, wind power is a source of energy.
How is mechanical energy of the turning windmill transfer to the generator?
it is transferred by the peacesigns

Is the energy source of a windmill mechanical?
noAnswerOf course it is. Well its not chemical, heat, electrical or nuclear energy AnswerThe output of a windmills energy is mechanical, the source is wind energy.
How does a windmill create energy?
Wind acting on the blades of a windmill causes it to spin around it's axis. This spinning motion is the conversion of mechanical, wind, energy to torque, mechanical rotational force. This drives a shaft for a pump or a generator.
Windmill is an example of what kind of energy transformation?
Gravitational potential energy being converted to kinetic energy
What type of energy is formed when a windmill gets connected to a generator?
electrical
