A vertical wind generator can be used on a farm to help generate energy. This can be used for many things that require electric such as lights in the stables or barns and pumps for the water.

What does a vertical wind generator do?
A vertical wind generator harnesses wind power and turns it into electricity. This can then be used to charge batteries or powering lights for smaller generators. Larger turbines are used to generate so called green energy for the national grid.
Where is the generator in a wind farm?
there in the tubbiness
What is the use of a windmill to drive an electrical generator is?
Wind power. A wind farm. A wind turbine.
What is the use of a windmill to drive an electric generator called?
Wind power. A wind farm. A wind turbine.
How does a wind farm collect energy?
Wind moves the blades of the wind turbines. The turbines turn an electrical generator, which feeds electricity into the network of powerlines.
What is the difference between wind mills wind generators or wind turbines?
The true difference is use. A wind mill is traditionally used on a farm to power the house where as a wind generator/ turbine is used for electricity on a much higher amount. All of these things are using the power of wind to create electricity/ power for something.
What type of farm can be used to generate electricity?
A wind farm is a farm that can be used to create electricity.
Where can vertical wind generators be found?
Vertical wind generators (turbines) are used in the midwest, where the wind is a major factor. There are international wind farms which supply electricity from the power of these generators.
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 used to generate energy?
Power generation is done the same way weather (pun intended) it's drive is from the wind, water or fossil fuel. A generator produces electricity by spinning a rotor inside a stator. Not to get too deep, it's like a wind mill spinning a generator and causing electron flow.The force of wind turns a large propeller which rotates a turbine that rotates magnets around a coil of wire to produce electricity. (Magnetic Flux)
Does a wind turbine produce ac or dc?
Big wind turbines (as those in a wind farm) generate ac, because it is easier to connect them to the grid. Most of the home turbines generate dc (trough a dc generator or an ac generator and a rectifier) i believe this is because they are often used to charge batteries. The usual way to get ac out of a home dc wind turbine is using a power inverter, just as a photovoltaic system.
How is wind power used as energy?
The wind spins propellor blades which turn a generator producing electricity.
