What is a rotating shaft?
There are many, many examples. Generally, rotating shafts are used to transmit power from a producer to a user device. A few examples: Drive shaft in an automobile- transmits power from the engine to the wheels. Propeller shaft in a ship- transmits power form the engine to the propeller. Pump shaft- transmits power from a motor to the pump impeller. Rotating shafts are all over the place. You can find dozens of examples in the typical appliances in any typical home.
How wind turbines convert mechanical energy into electrical energy?
With a generator mounted on the "turbine". The propeller spins the generator shaft.
What are the other terms of propeller blade?

What is a unirotating propeller?
A uni-rotating propeller is one that can go around in both directions. This type of propeller typically will do different things depending on which direction it is going.
How do you make a newton scooter with a propeller?

Why cone pin is used in propeller?
The cone pin, or shear pin, is used to attach the propeller to the drive shaft so that if you hit something hard with the propeller, you only break the shear pin, and not the expensive drive shaft, motor, or propeller.Or, more specifically, that you only break the shear pin and propeller, not the drive shaft or motor.

Why is a sliding joint used at the output shaft end of the propeller shaft?
Main reason is to allow for the dynamics of the drivetrain. Secondary reason is to allow the shaft to collapse in a crash.
Why is propeller shaft inclined?
important reason behind inclining the shaft is to avoid/reduce various vibrations that may come up from the propeller and shaft rotation. various rulebooks have the minimum clearances for hull/propeller, so when the hull and propeller are designed and the minimum clearances are not satisfied shaft are inclined. other reasons include better positioning of engine bearers, better flow angle to the propeller blades
