It isn't meant to store energy. It simply transforms the wind energy into other forms of useful energy. Of course, it may briefly have some rotational (i.e. kinetic) energy stored, but that won't last long.

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 are windmills powered-?
A windmill runs off of the energy that the wind provides. The wind blows against the blades of the windmill and turns them, causing them to turn a turbine. This turbine converts wind energy to kinetic energy, something that we can store and harness.
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
Does a windmill store energy and why?
no because base on my research at school, it only generate energy not store.
How much energy does a windmill make?
Depends what windmill it is.

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
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.
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.
