Windmills are used to convert wind into useful energy. Sail boats also use wind to produce motion, and hence kinetic energy.

What is the meaning of wind energy?
wind energy is not a real type of energy but what is simular to you question is wind turbine: A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind, also called wind energy, into mechanical energy; a process known as wind power. If the mechanical energy is used to produce electricity, the device may be called wind turbine or wind power plant. If the mechanical energy is used to drive machinery, such as for grinding grain or pumping water, the device is called a windmill or wind pump. Similarly, it may be called wind charger when it is used to charge batteries.
What is the big machine to produce energy from wind?
Wind Turbine.
What are the reasons for high cost of wind energy?
In order to produce wind energy, many turbines must be constructed. These turbines are expensive to produce and maintain.
How can wind energy source be utilized?
wind energy utilization is simple, use the wind and turbines to produce electricity and power the grid
When you wind a rubber band on a toy airplane which energy does the rubber band have?
Potential Energy. While being wound, kinetic energy is used to produce a store of potential energy.
Can wind energy be used to produce a lot of electricity?
yes it can.
Why isn't wind energy used to produce all your energy?
Because a wind turbine doesn't necessarily produce enough energy and is at the mercy of the wind. No wind = no power so really it's an illogical way to power a house or town.
How do you produce energy with wind?
Windmills and wind turbines are good sources to produce energy.
Does wind energy produce renewable energy?
Wind energy is renewable energy.
How does wind power produce energy?
They are used to turn the blades of large wind turbines, which generate electricity.
What are the Future energy sources used to produce electricity?
Wind and solar power .
Can a wind produce energy on its own?
Wind energy can provide all the energy that we need

What type of energy do wind mills produce?
They produce mechanical energy which then creates electricity
Is there wind mills used today in the US?
Yes in producing wind energy as a form of electricity. Some places now have whole hillsides with wind turbines/mills to produce electrical energy for the area.
How is wind a energy transformation?
Basic understanding in order to generate wind power, u need to be able to find a way to capture energy from the force of wind once you have the capability of capturing the wind energy, the harness energy can be used to drive turbines attach to generator to produce power
