Do windmills make wind?
No. Windmills use the wind for various puposes such as grinding grain, pumping water, and generating electricity.
How many sails are there on a windmill?
it isn't always the same, but genorally four. the wind turbines used for generating electricity however, usually have three
How do windmills work without electricity?
Soo there is a turbine in the center of the rotating part, so when the wind make the three spikes rotate, the turbine spins generating electricity. It makes electricity; it doesnt need it. The turbine king of works like a rotor or if you know anything about hyropower elctricity then you know about the turbine that spins when water falls. So basically in windmills, the wind causes the spikes to turn making the turbine work generating power... hope it helps...:)
What is an advantage of using wind to produce electricity?
Wind power is renewable cheap and available world wide
What are the different types of wind energy?
Well wind energy is all the same , it is energy that comes form the sun (which heats the air and this causes winds). The energy can be harvested by sails (as in sailing ships) or by wind mills (as in grinding flour or pumping water) or wind turbines (as in generating electricity).
What are the advantages of generating electricity by wind turbines compared with generating it at an oil-fired power station?
wind turbines have blades like the propellors on the first aeroplanes wind turbines with blades convert 20-30% of wind energy into electricity but this new turbine can convert 70%.
What is an area called where there is a large group of windmills generating electricity?
a wind field
How do wind farms work?
wind farms are built and turbines are put up. As the wind blows it turns the turbines generating electricity.
How there are the wind turbine connected to the msin grid?
They're connected by cables. The wind spins the turbine - generating electricity. The electricity is fed into the national grid by cables.
What is a common use for wind power?
Pumping water, and generating electricity. Sailing boats.
Do windmills make wind?
No. Windmills use the wind for various puposes such as grinding grain, pumping water, and generating electricity.
What does the windmill do?
A windmill is a machine that is powered by the energy of the wind. It is designed to convert the energy of the wind into more useful forms using rotating blades or sails.windmills served originally to grind grain, though later applications included pumping water and, more recently, generation of electricity. Recent electricity-generating versions are referred to as wind turbines.They are used for generating electricity.
Why were wind mills needed?
Wind mills were; and still; useful for grinding some crops, lifting up water for irrigation and agriculture, and generating electricity.
How wind energy is transferred and transformed in the electric generating device?
Wind propels wind generator which convert the moving energy to electricity. I don't know . can u please help me
Where does a generating station get its power?
There are several ways to generate electricity. Solar, wind, coal, nuclear, diesel etc.
To produce or make electricity ___ it?
To produce or make electricity is to generate it. Some of the common ways of generating electricity include using wind power, geothermal energy and burning fossil fuels among others.
What is non thermal method of generating electricity?
Dams and windmills. and midget on a tredmill with a pair of platform shoes dangleing in front of it
