What energy transformations in wind generator?

The mechanical energy of wind pushes on the blades, turning them (still mechanical energy) turning blades turn the generator (still mechanical) The generator changes mechanical energy to electrical energy.


Wind is an example of what energy?

A wind turbine or a windmill is a good example of wind energy.: )('',)


Is a windmill electrical to thermal or electrical to mechanical or chemical to thermal?

Assuming that you're talking about a wind-powered electrical generator (such as a "wind farm"), the energy conversion is from mechanical to electrical. When the wind blows on the blades of the mill it rotates them, creating mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is used to power the electrical generator inside the mill, creating electrical energy out of mechanical energy.


How is wind energy transformed into kinetic energy?

The energy in the wind is kinetic, it is due to a mass of air moving at a certain speed. Wind energy is transformed into mechanical energy through the blades of the wind turbine, and the mechanical energy is then transformed into electrical energy in a generator driven by the blade axis.


How does a wind turbine make energy from wind?

Wind contains kinetic energy. When the wind enters the turbine, the kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy. Then the energy goes through a generator that makes it into electrical energy (electricity).In simpler terms:The wind passing the blades of the turbine spin the shaft that is connected to the generator (kinetic to mechanical energy conversion). The spinning generator produces electricity (mechanical to electric energy conversion).

How is energy formed from wind?

Wind turbines convert Kinetic energy into Mechanical energy. Wind turbine rotors are airfoils. In addition to the wind hitting them, the aerodynamic effect increases their spin. The wind has kinetic energy. The airfoils have mechanical energy. They are connected to an electrical generator, essentially tightly wound wire and magnets, that turn the mechanical rotation into electricity.

Is wind considered mechanical energy?

Mechanical Energy is defined as "Energy that is the result of matter in motion." I THINK that makes wind mechanical. (Well, really, I hope it is, because that's what it says on my science project)
