Wind (air) may have a bit of gravitational potential energy, since it's up there and not
on the ground. But the real, substantial energy of wind, and the energy we take out
of it to turn things and generate electrical energy, is its kinetic energy.
That's the reason that 'windmill farms' are built in places with steady wind. If there's
no wind, then there's no kinetic energy available to be robbed from it.

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.
What do chemical bonds store?
Chemical bonds store potential energy.
How does a rubber band store potential energy?
potential energy
What is wind energy potential?
Wind Energys potential is that it generates electricity & and using wind to pump up water.
Where is wind energy used most?
The Netherlands has used wind energy for centuries. It is estimated that there is more than ten times the amount of wind energy potential than energy we need. These states have the most potential for wind energy.North DakotaTexasKansasSouth DakotaMontanaNebraskaWyomingOklahomaMinnesotaIowa
The energy in wind used to generate electricity is?
potential energy
What energy transformation is involved in the wind up toy?
The energy transformation in a wind up toy is potential energy --> Kinetic energy
When you wind a rubber band what kind of energy is used?
That is Potential energy
What are the energy transfers in a wind up radio?
potential to acoustic energy
Understanding Wind Power?
A wind turbine can provide enough electricity to power a small town or village. While wind holds lots of kinetic energy, storing it as potential energy can be challenging. Most wind energy generators only run for a few hours every day. During this time, they store energy in a set of connected batteries. It's a good idea to use lead-acid batteries for a wind turbine. This can be a great way to store energy at a reasonable cost.
What type of potential energy does a wind-upnclock have?
gravitational
How is the wind energy gathered and or created?
you cant STORE WIND ENERGY FOR LATER USE
