The first step in getting a windmill job is to get trained by going through a wind tech training program. The fastest and most reputable ones are California Wind Tech and Danish Renewables. After receiving a certificate of completion from a windmill training program, you can get hired by a staffing company that provides operations and maintenance services to wind parks. Staffing companies tend not to pay a premium to their employees, but it is a sure way to get your feet wet in an industry that is rapidly growing and can pay very well ($80,000+ a year U.S. after one or two years of tech experience). These are the easiest and fastest ways to get a windmill job as they can be moderately difficult to get into for those who have no industry experience. Contracted employers in the wind industry typically do not have time to train new employees and frequently choose to hire those that have prior training or references from people the employer knows personally.

What kind of work can a windmill do?
Windmills were originally used to grind grain and pump water. Recently they are used to produce electricity. See the related link for more information.
What sort of useful work can a windmill do?
In older days, windmills were generally used to grind grain, through the wind turning the blades, which turned the grinding mechanisms. Presently, windmills can be used to convert kinetic energy into electricity, popularly seen as an alternative to fossil fuels.
How do you make money off of windmills?
There are two big main ways that you can make money off of windmills. 1. You can make or buy your own windmill farm. For an investment of as little as $1000 you can make 5 windmills and set them up on your property. If you make more electricity than you use, your power company will pay you. This can also be supplemented with solar panels. 2. You can build your own windmills for around $200 and then sell them for a huge profit. Windmill sell for an average price of around $3000 dollars. Now that is a huge profit, and for only a couple weekends work.
Is this windmill work by magnet?
No its work by wind...hence windmill.
How did windmills work?
with wind
How do wind mills work?
Windmills use blades to gather wind that flows over it. Just like an airplane uses wings for lift, windmills use their blades for lift as well - in this case to turn the windmill. Windmills are pretty simple structures; their blades are connected to a drive shaft that is connected to an electric generator. As the blades turn, this turns the drive shaft and creates electricity. Electricity is sent through wires and collected.There are several different types of windmills, categorized by the direction in which their blades rotate. Two different types of windmills, most commonly called turbines when producing energy, are the horizontal axis turbines and the vertical axis turbines. Horizontal turbines are by far the most popular type of turbine and are the traditional type of windmill with blades that are similar to an airplane's propeller. These are the windmills we often see pictures of - the Holland variety. On the other hand, vertical axis windmills have blades that resemble an egg beater. They are far less popular than horizontal windmills only making up a very small overall percentage.In addition, wind mills can be used to harness energy without producing electricity. An example is the type of windmill that takes the mechanical motion induced by the blades to turn millstones that grind corn and other grains, hence the term "windmill". Other examples of non-electrical windmills include those that pump water. (These have been around for a long time.)
Where do windmills work?
They work best in windy areas.
Whats the difference between windmills and wind turbines?
Windmills are much shorter than wind turbines, and usually have many blades. The blades catch more wind causing the windmill to be able to do more physical work. The propeller blades are connected to an axle with gears. The gears are connected to a vertical shaft that runs down the length of the tower and is connected to other mechanical equipment. Windmills do work such as pump water or grind grain, which is why they are a common site on farms where they are used in crop production. They are not built to produce electricity.HOPE THIS HELPED!!!!!!!
What does the windmail do?
A windmill spins around in a circle and the wind pushes against the windmill to make it spin around in a circle. Also, when it spins it makes energy it helps with the electricity. For an example: All the energy that comes from the windmill goes to power lines or solar panels and the power lines and solar panels send the energy to TV cords or light switches allowing the TV or lights to work by just simply using the energy from the windmills.
What new jobs does America need in 2010?
Nurses, skilled tradesmen (for Gulf cleanup work, Louisiana work, etc.), manufacturers of more alternative energy equipment (windmills, solar panels, etc.), among others.
Do windmills work at night?
Windmills extract energy from the wind whenever the wind is blowing. Day or night, Summer or Winter.
If windmills dont work how do people who use wind energy still get electricity?
A windmill produced electricity while the wind blows. It may produce energy when the wind blows and people don't need it. People don't need all the energy a windmill produces all the time but they may need energy when the wind is not blowing. Windmills are therefore linked up to battery systems and charge the batteries when the wind is blowing, energy is being produced, and nobody is using it. When people need energy and the wind is not blowing (no power is being produced) they use power from the batteries.
