Wind acting on the blades of a windmill causes it to spin around it's axis. This spinning motion is the conversion of mechanical, wind, energy to torque, mechanical rotational force. This drives a shaft for a pump or a generator.

What energy is needed to create electricity from a windmill?
The energy for an electrical producing Windmill , is created by the wind, or moving air.
How fast do the blades on a windmill spend?
it has to be spining at 45 mph to create alot of energy
Are windmills wind energy?
Windmills are not wind energy but if put in use it can create energy from the wind it gets so its called wind energy but all the energy is retained by the windmill... Easily enought "NO"
What kind of energy of wind turns the blades of a windmill?
The kinetic energy of the air molecules in the 'wind' is transferred to the blades of the windmill as kinetic energy of the moving blades of the windmill.
Is a windmill gravitational energy?
no -- the windmill converts the kinetic energy from wind to electrical energy. Gravitational energy is another term for potential energy.

How much energy does a windmill make?
Depends what windmill it is.

How do windmill collect energy?
The wind turbine/windmill has a generator inside of it, which converts the wind into energy!
Is a windmill kinetic or potential energy?
do windmills consist of kinetic and potential energy
How much does the wind speed affect a windmill?
Wind speed effects how much energy a windmill produces. The faster the windmill goes, the more energy it produces.
How is a windmill useful?
For energy
Is wind blowing the vanes of a windmill chemical energy?
No; when wind blows the blades of a windmill, that's mechanical energy.
What kind of energy is a windmill?
Windmill composed of 2 energies. One is the mechanical energy. To make it work the force of the wind allows the windmill to run and this process produces the second energy called the wind energy.
