Wind turbines are the devices used to harness wind energy and convert it into electricity. They consist of large blades mounted on a tower, which capture wind currents. The blades turn a rotor connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to produce electricity. Wind turbines are a clean, renewable energy source, contributing to sustainable power generation with minimal environmental impact. They are commonly used in wind farms in both onshore and offshore settings.

∙ 10y agoFor electrical generation: A wind-turbine coupled via speed-increasing gears to an alternator whose output is suitably regulated to give a reasonably consistent supply.
BTW there's nothing new in wind power. Windmills were developed for grain grinding centuries ago, possibly late-Mediaeval times. Wind-powered pumps drawing water from boreholes are familiar machines in many parts of the world; and of course for draining the polders in early Dutch reclamation schemes. The late 19-early 20 C saw a lot of development on wind- and water- turbines for driving industrial machinery generally.

What device can be used to harness the energy in wind and convert it into electricity?
A generator or alternator will work. gdiah
What device is used to harness the energy in wind and convert it into energy?
Wind turbines.
What device is used to convert solar energy to electricity?
solar cells are used to convert solar energy to electricity.
What device is used to convert electricity in to mechanical energy?
An electric motor.
Device that is used to convert solar energy into electricity?
Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic panels or PV panels, are the devices used to convert solar energy into electricity. These panels consist of multiple solar cells, usually made of silicon, which absorb sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. This DC electricity is then converted into alternating current (AC) through an inverter for use in homes, businesses, or the power grid. Solar panels are commonly installed on rooftops or in large solar farms to harness the sun's energy and generate clean and sustainable electricity.

What type of alternative energy do wind mills produce?
They harness wind energy and convert this to mechanical energy to grid flower or pump water or to drive a generator to make electricity.
What does harness means referring to energy?
It means to convert the energy to a form that is useful for humans - for making machines work, for example. Or simply, convert to a form of energy that is easily converted to other forms of energy, for example, AC electricity, at an appropriate voltage.
What is a device used to convert solar energy into electricity?
A solar panel, which is comprised of photovoltaic cells arranged in series.
What device can convert solar energy into electricity directly without having to produce steam first?
a solar panel
