Why is a windmill not a perpetual motion machine?
Perpetual motion machines do not exist. There is no machine that will keep on moving by itself without any added power. Windmills are driven by the wind. When the wind stops blowing, the windmill stops turning.
How does a windmill create energy?
Wind acting on the blades of a windmill causes it to spin around it's axis. This spinning motion is the conversion of mechanical, wind, energy to torque, mechanical rotational force. This drives a shaft for a pump or a generator.
How is the wind energy captured by the windmill?
wind makes the mill spin wich motion activates the machinery that sends electricity or other means of energy.
How do you convert convert potential engery into kinetic energy?
The ways to harness energy vary as broadly as the sources that are being tapped. There are a lot of energy sources, and it would be wise to investigate a bit more by asking some more questions here and narrowing the focus of them.
What are the measurements of a windmill?
pls adv the dimension of windmill

How do the rotors on a windmill and the sail of a sailboat illustrate the same principle?
The principle of lift is well-illustrated by the motion it causes.

How do the pigs feel during the battle of the windmill?
they are mad because they built the windmill. During the battle of the windmill they have to rebuild the windmill
What is the pattern of motion of a moon?
An oribit.
