What kind of energy of wind turns the blades of a windmill?

The kinetic energy of the air molecules in the 'wind' is transferred to the blades of the windmill as kinetic energy of the moving blades of the windmill.


What do blades on a windmill do?

The main objective of the blades is the conversion of wind energy into kinetic energy.


Is wind blowing the vanes of a windmill chemical energy?

No; when wind blows the blades of a windmill, that's mechanical energy.


How fast do the blades on a windmill spend?

it has to be spining at 45 mph to create alot of energy


What kind of energy does a windmill use?

Windmills use the power of wind and transforms that energy into kinetic energy (which causes the blades to spin), which in turn creates mechanical energy.Wind Energy


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 are windmills powered-?

A windmill runs off of the energy that the wind provides. The wind blows against the blades of the windmill and turns them, causing them to turn a turbine. This turbine converts wind energy to kinetic energy, something that we can store and harness.


Why electricfan is an mechanical energy?

An electric fan is not "an mechanical energy". An electric fan converts electrical energy into mechanical energy (the movement of the fan blades, and hence, the movement of the air).


Do windmills blow?

No. Windmills have their blades angled in such a way as to catch moving air or wind. When the wind hits the blades it pushes them and they spin, which then gets other gears of the windmill turning, which then generate energy for whatever it is they need that energy to do. So the windmills themselves do not make wind or "blow".


How does a windmill turn the sun's energy into electricity?

The uneven heating and cooling of Earth's atmosphere by the sun's energy causes the air to flow from one place to another, in a type of behavior that we call "wind". Since the air is moving, it has kinetic energy. The windmill intercepts some of the moving air and robs part of its kinetic energy.


How is the energy of a windmill gets its mechanical energy?

Windmills convert the kinetic energy of wind movement into mechanical power that moves the parts of a windmill, for example, to pump water, a generator is part of the machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical engery. Wind energy➡️Mechanical energy.


How much energy does a windmill make?

Depends what windmill it is.
