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 do windmill collect energy?
The wind turbine/windmill has a generator inside of it, which converts the wind into energy!
Is a windmill electrical to thermal or electrical to mechanical or chemical to thermal?
Assuming that you're talking about a wind-powered electrical generator (such as a "wind farm"), the energy conversion is from mechanical to electrical. When the wind blows on the blades of the mill it rotates them, creating mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is used to power the electrical generator inside the mill, creating electrical energy out of mechanical energy.
Is a windmill kinetic or potential energy?
do windmills consist of kinetic and potential energy
How much energy does a windmill make?
Depends what windmill it is.

What are the types of electric power plants?
Nuclear, Thermal, Hydro, Windmill.

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.
What is the name of the thermal energy that moves from a warmer object to a cooler one?
"Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat".
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.
