What kind of energy does a windmill use?
Windmills use the power of wind and transforms that energy into kinetic energy (which causes the blades to spin), which in turn creates mechanical energy.Wind Energy
How does a windmill create energy?
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 causes blades to spin?
Rotational energy
How is the wind energy captured by the windmill?
wind makes the mill spin wich motion activates the machinery that sends electricity or other means of energy.
Which way does a windmill spin?
However the blades are oriented. Look at a ceiling fan, the blades are shaped so that it will blow air down (there's a switch on there to make it spin and suck air up). A windmill is made to spin when wind blows and this rotates the handle on a pump to make water come out of a well.

Ways in which the windmill will spin without using human energy?
wind

Uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine?
A windmill uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine. This is a natural way to make energy and keep it for future use.
What is rotation in dance?
Its the :- head spin or windmill...
What are the things that spin on a windmill called?
They are called arms
What causes the steering of a car to fail and the steering wheel to spin?
Kinetic Energy helps the car wheel spin...
Why does corn on the cob spin in boiling water?
heat produces energy which causes the corn to spin in boiling water.
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.
Is a windmill a generator?
in a way yes, in a way no. if you are talking about a windmill GENERATOR, then yes it is a generator. however, it doesn't have to be a huge white thing in the fields. as long as it has a generator connected to it, it is considered as a generator. hope i have helped
