Is a windmill thermal energy?
A wind mill does generate some heat but primarily it converts the kinetic energy in the wind into electrical energy.
Is a windmill electrical to thermal or electrical to mechanical or chemical to thermal?
Assuming that you're talking about a wind-powered electrical generator (such as a "wind farm"), the energy conversion is from mechanical to electrical. When the wind blows on the blades of the mill it rotates them, creating mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is used to power the electrical generator inside the mill, creating electrical energy out of mechanical energy.
What are the various sources of energy?
various sources of energy are thermal (coal,oil,gas),solar,wind,hydroelectricity,nuclear and
What are some renewable sources of energy besides solar wind and water?
Renewable energy, not solar, wind, or water (hydro, tidal and wave) includes geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen.
Why is wind power a renewable energy source?
Wind power is described as a renewable energy source because winds are produced by the suns thermal energy and this is never going to fail or need other sources of energy.
Is thermal energy derived from the wind?
If you refer to the definitions: No. Thermal energy is heat energy. Energy derived from the wind is known as wind energy, also as eolic energy.
How is wind energy and thermal energy related?
Both are the inertial energy of moving molecules. Thermal energy being random and wind energy being more ordered in direction.
Does wind have thermal energy?
yes. everything has some thermal energy. Even liquid nitrogen has some thermal energy. Nothing can have no thermal energy, look at the 3rd law of thermodynamics.
What are natural types of electrical energy?
Hydro, Thermal,Solar and Wind
How is thermal energy transferred around our Earth?
Mostly by wind and current.
Is wind energy different from geothermal?
Yes. Wind energy comes from the wind. Geothermal (Geo = Ground, Thermal = Heat or temperature) comes from the heat in the ground.
What is a renewable energy resources that does not depend on the sun?
Wind, wave or geo-thermal
Is a windmill thermal energy?
A wind mill does generate some heat but primarily it converts the kinetic energy in the wind into electrical energy.
What is the cleanest fuel?
Solar, wind ,Hydro and Geo thermal are pretty much tied.
What are 7 alternative resources?
Wind, Sun, Thermal(geothermal) , Water, burning of trash
Is solar thermal energy widely used?
It's not likely. Only 3% of Americans use sun, wind, water, and thermal energy as sources of electricity.
Does wind turbins convert potentia lenergy kinetic energy or thermal energy into its original potential energy?
None of the above ... Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy.
