Orginally windmills were used as a source of power to turn stones to grind grain and make flour. Many can still be seen in places like The Netherlands. Wind turbines are a different mechanism and are used to collect wind power as a "green" alternative to using fossil fuels to make power.
Windmills provide energy to allow things to run. They are an alternate energy source that not many use, but are very good for the environment.
What else can I help you with?
What can wind mill power?
Wind mills have traditionally been used to power grain mills, saw mills, and small manufacturing mills. A wind mill can also be used as a wind turbine, to generate electricity.
How is wind used directly?
For examples in wind turbines or wind mills.
What resource is directly being used to produce electricity by wind?
wind mills
What can be used to generate electricity but are useful only when the wind blows consistently?
wind turbines, wind mills.
What force is used when winds mills move?
wind mills => wind power (eolian energy).
What are early uses of wind energy?
Wind energy is used to sail boats, and turn wind mills to make flour.
Is there wind mills used today in the US?
Yes in producing wind energy as a form of electricity. Some places now have whole hillsides with wind turbines/mills to produce electrical energy for the area.
What work do wind mills do?
Windmills convert wind energy into mechanical power, which can be used to pump water, grind grain, or generate electricity. They work by capturing the kinetic energy in the wind and transferring it into a useful form of energy.
What are types of wind energy machines?
wind mills
How is wind energy transferred?
Wind energy is transferred by wind mills.
How can wind be transformed?
wind energy can be transformed into mechanical energy by wind mills .
How do humans use wind energy?
by installing wind mills
