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!
Do energy conversions occur without gain or loss of energy?
Almost all energy conversions involve a loss of 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 energy conversions?
== ==
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.
Do all energy conversions have thermal energy?
no
