What is the difference between a windmill and a wind turbine?
windmills are used for mechanical power and wind turbines to make electricity
How does wind power work?
Wind power is used by having wind push a turbine or mill so that turns and makes energy.
What is the purpose of turbine windmills?
To harvest some of the power out of the wind. Either to turn it into electricity, or to run some machinery directly. Like a pump or a mill.
What makes a wind turbine move?
Wind makes the turbine move and the wind makes elctrecity.
How a wind power system produce electricity?
The wind turns a wind turbine. The turbine turns a generator.
What does the turbine inside of a wind mill do?
it turns
What is the difference between wind mills wind generators or wind turbines?
The true difference is use. A wind mill is traditionally used on a farm to power the house where as a wind generator/ turbine is used for electricity on a much higher amount. All of these things are using the power of wind to create electricity/ power for something.

How does wind power work?
Wind power is used by having wind push a turbine or mill so that turns and makes energy.
What can wind mill power?
Wind mills have traditionally been used to power grain mills, saw mills, and small manufacturing mills. A wind mill can also be used as a wind turbine, to generate electricity.
What is the difference between wind energy and wind turbines?
. Wind energy is the energy taken from the wind that makes the rotor blade of the wind turbine to rotate, so that an alternator coupled to it can generate electricity. Wind turbine is a huge apparatus designed to transform wind energy into electricity.
How much of electricity will produced in wind mill per day?
A wind turbine with a diameter of about 150m will generate about 10MW of power.
What is used to turn a generator?
A handle, a pair of pedals, a treadmill, a water mill, a petrol engine, a diesel engine, a wind turbine, a steam turbine, a gas turbine.
How do wind farms create power?
There is a turbine in the wind mill. When the wind turns the blades on the wind mill, the generator inside cranks backwards createing power. The way it does this is that it turns a copper wire inside. One mill can create enough power for -currently- 90 homes. If there is alot of wind in that area that year.
A large wind turbine generate more or less energy?
A large wind mill generates more energy compared to the smaller sized wind mill as it can capture more wind energy i.e.its Plant load factor/Capacity factor is higher.
What is inside a wind turbine?
A wind turbine generates electricity by converting its kinetic energy into electric energy. The kinetic energy of the wind transfers to the turbine, and the kinetic energy of the turbine converts to electric energy as it spins within an electromagnetic field.
What do you call a structure that turns wind into energy?
A windmill was a structure that used wind to power a mill (or sometimes to pump water), and a wind turbine is a structure that uses wind to create electrical power.
