We seem to think this wonderful method of creating renewable energy is 21st century. In reality there are fine examples of this ancient engineering all over East Anglia and The Netherlands still working after 100s of years.

How is the rooftop wind turbine different from other wind energy devices?
The rooftop wind turbine is different from other wind energy devices in that it relies on a small motor in addition to wind power, whereas other devices rely only on wind power.
Where can one find information about a wind farm?
Wikipedia has several articles on wind farms, including ones that list locations of wind farms in various countries. Energy saving sites, such as BP and Energy California, offer information on what a wind farm is.
Difference between wind power and wind energy?
Wind power refers to the conversion of wind energy into electricity using wind turbines. Wind energy, on the other hand, is the form of energy produced by the movement of air in the atmosphere. Wind energy is harnessed and converted into wind power to generate electricity.
Where is wind energy produced?
wind energy is produced in wind farms usually in the countryside but can sometimes be in other places. They can also be offshore .
What are examples of how wind energy is used?
Wind energy is used to generate electricity through wind turbines, which are commonly found in wind farms. This electricity can then be used to power homes, businesses, and other facilities. In addition, wind energy can also be used to pump water, grind grains, or power other mechanical applications in various industries.
What is powered by wind energy?
Wind turbines are machines that convert the kinetic energy from the wind into electrical power. These turbines are used to generate electricity from wind energy, which can then be used to power homes, businesses, and other facilities.
What is the most interesting thing about wind turbines?
Apparently Wind Turbines can make Bat's Lungs explode. . . You would need between 500 and 1000 wind turbines to match the energy for a power plant!
What powers a wind turbine?
The wind turbine converts kinetic energy into wind, which then turns into wind and then mechanical energy. The energy is converted to an electrical generator through a shaft which turns it into electrical energy, or in other words, electricity.
What kind of energy is present in a blowing wind?
Kinetic energy is present in a blowing wind, as it is the energy associated with the motion of air molecules. This kinetic energy can be harnessed and converted into other forms of energy such as electricity through wind turbines.
What is the energy transformation of a wind turbine?
A wind turbine converts the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy by turning the blades. The mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy by a generator in the turbine, which can be used to power homes, businesses, and other facilities.
Can wind energy be converted into other kinds of energy what kind?
into air conditioning
Can wind turbines be used to produce a lot of energy?
The energy created from a wind turbine is proportional to the formula for area of a circle which is pi x r^2. pi = 3.14159, and r=radius. this means that if the blades are twice the length of another wind turbine, there is a far greater amount of energy produced.

In general, wind turbines are a great way to go if there is sufficient wind as the energy is sustainable energy whereas other means such as coal burning are finite
