Any windmill can rotate anticlockwise if the blades are pitched for it to do so. But why do that.

Why do windmills turn clockwise in Ireland?

A windmill turns because the blades face into the wind and are pitched (twisted) so that the air passing onto the blades pushes the blade around the pivot point. If the blade is pitched one way, the windmill will turn to CCW. If they are pitched the other way, it will turn CW.= There may be a convention or tradition or popular design in Ireland that pitches the blades so it turns CW.=

What kind of energy does a windmill use?

Windmills use the power of wind and transforms that energy into kinetic energy (which causes the blades to spin), which in turn creates mechanical energy.Wind Energy


How does a windmill turn the sun's energy into electricity?

The uneven heating and cooling of Earth's atmosphere by the sun's energy causes the air to flow from one place to another, in a type of behavior that we call "wind". Since the air is moving, it has kinetic energy. The windmill intercepts some of the moving air and robs part of its kinetic energy.
