Depends on the size of the windmill and how much wind is available.

Domestic wind turbines are an interesting hobby, but practically cost so much they will struggle to break even over 25 years. You can't rely on it to be windy enough in most places.

Large scale Wind Farms can provide huge amounts of energy but obviously you can't put them in your back yard.

Home Depot sells a residential wind turbine that outputs up to 900 watts or 60 amps (in ideal conditions). The largest wind turbines can generate up to 7 megawatts!

Why do you build windmills in the Netherlands?

They build windmills to generate 'clean and ecofriendly' energy.


What energy is used in windmills?

Windmills use wind energy.


Do windmills make wind?

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


How do windmills produce power is there is no wind?

Windmills generate power by converting the kinetic energy of moving air (wind) into mechanical energy through the rotation of their blades. If there is no wind, windmills do not produce power because there is no motion to drive the turbines.


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.


What happens to windmills when no wind?

When there is no wind, windmills are unable to generate electricity. They rely on wind to turn their blades and in turn, generate power through a turbine. Without wind, the windmill remains stationary and cannot produce energy.


What do windmills generate?

They generate electricity produced by wind.


What type of energy do windmills make?

Windmills generate electrical energy by converting the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy through the rotation of their blades. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy using a generator.


What type of energy resource is windmills?

Windmills generate electricity through wind power, making them a renewable energy resource. They harness the kinetic energy of the wind to produce electricity without emitting greenhouse gases or other pollutants.


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"


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.
