The blades are shaped like air plane propellers and use the airs force to push on the shape of the blades.

Why is location important to windmills?

Windmills are usually built on a hill to catch as much wind as possible!!!


What is the name of the item that catches the wind on windmills?

The blades of a wind power generator catch the windThe wings if an old fashioned wind mill catch the wind


How do the windmills turn?

Windmills have blades that are designed to catch the wind, causing them to spin. The rotation of the blades drives a generator inside the windmill, which then converts the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy.


Why did the first wind mills fail to catch on in the US?

the windmills exploded due to bad weather.


Do windmills blow?

No. Windmills have their blades angled in such a way as to catch moving air or wind. When the wind hits the blades it pushes them and they spin, which then gets other gears of the windmill turning, which then generate energy for whatever it is they need that energy to do. So the windmills themselves do not make wind or "blow".


How do the blades make windmills go so fast?

The blades on windmills are designed to catch and harness the force of the wind. When wind blows against the blades, it creates lift and causes them to rotate. The speed of the wind and the design of the blades determine how fast the windmill can spin.


Do wind mills work when there is no wind?

No, windmills require wind to generate power by spinning their turbines. If there is no wind, windmills will not be able to operate.


What happens to windmills when there is no wind?

Windmills do not operate without wind. When there is no wind, windmills are unable to generate electricity or perform their intended function. They rely on the kinetic energy from the wind to turn the blades and produce power.


Do windmills make wind?

No. Windmills use the wind for various puposes such as grinding grain, pumping water, and generating electricity.


Characteristics of wind?

What catches more wind new windmills or old windmills?

New windmills typically have larger blades and more advanced technology, allowing them to catch more wind compared to old windmills. The larger blades and improved design of new windmills enable them to generate more electricity efficiently.


What energy is used in windmills?

Windmills use wind energy.
