They are not. However something very similar- the pitometer or pitot-static type of speedometer is used on aircraft and directly measures the enveloping shock wave of the plane- and thus the air speed. Pilots and aircraft engineers prefer the term Air-Speed Indicator- to the more mundane speedometer. The device uses one or two pitot and static tubes- the static tube is used to balance things out- add resistance if their is an error, more or less. those operating at higher altitudes have tube heaters switched on and off by operators to keep ice from forming and thus gummoxing up the speedometer readings- an unsafe hazard tamed by technology- do not confuse with Tube heaters used in radios- to err, yes, and this has become a slang phrase for ( Stand By)- Keep the tubes warm- the A-Battery performed this function in old-style battery sets-( pre-transistor).

How is the wind used?
turbines
Do cars give off more pollution than wind turbines?
Yes.
How is wind used directly?
For examples in wind turbines or wind mills.
What are wind turines used to create?
Wind TURBINES are used to create electricity.
What type of devices is used to harness wind energy?
Wind turbines are the devices used to harness wind energy. These turbines have blades that spin and generate electricity when the wind blows. Wind turbines are typically grouped together in wind farms to maximize energy production.
What are 5 examples of wind energy?
Wind turbines used for generating electricity. Wind pumps for pumping water or grinding grain. Sailboats harnessing wind power for propulsion. Windmills used for irrigation or milling grain. Kites generating electricity through flying turbines.
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.
Do wind turbines use coal?
No, wind turbines do not use coal. They generate electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy of the wind, converting it into electrical energy through turbines. Coal is a fossil fuel used in traditional power plants for electricity generation, but it is not involved in the operation of wind turbines.
What has to be built for wind energy to be used?
Wind Turbines. They have a motor inside of them that produces energy when the blades of the turbine turn and when they turn energy is generated by the wind turning the blades and the motor. <><><> In addition to the wind turbines, you need a grid of powerlines to carry the electricity to where it will be used. This frequently costs more than the wind turbines.
What are some of the different designs of wind turbines?
country side wind turbines and modern turbines
Are wind turbines used to generate electricity from the wind?
Yes. They are hazardous to birds, but the wind propels them.
What does wind turbines do?
A wind turbines uses the wind to power an electricity generator.
