Windmills use the wind to turn their sails or blades to convert the energy of the wind into rotational energy. The energy is used to turn heavy stone millstones and grind wheat and other grains into a flour.

Why do we use a wind mill?

Wind mills are used to generate electricity by harnessing the power of wind. The rotating blades of the windmill convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical power which is then converted into electrical power. Windmills are a clean and renewable source of energy that helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Why is wind an energy source with limited use?

Well it is a good renewable source of energy BUT the strength of the wind varies over time and the source is therefore not constantly reliable.


What energy is being used in a harnessed through the use of wind mills?

Wind energy is harnessed through the use of windmills. Windmills capture the kinetic energy of the wind and convert it into mechanical power. This mechanical power is then used to generate electricity through a generator.


What is wind power called?

What are wind mills mainly used for?

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.
