Is a wind turbine kinetic?

Yes. It converts the kinetic(moving) energy in the wind to electricity.


Does the fan convert electricity into wind energy?

No, the fan converts the electrical energy into kinetic energy. this kinetic energy causes the wind to blow..


What type of energy does a wind turbine converts into electrical energy?

Kinetic Energy


What type of energy is wnd and why?

Wind energy is kinetic energy because it arises from the speed of the wind. A turbine converts it into mechanical energy and then a generator converts it into electrical energy.


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.


How does wind energy help wind turbines work?

Wind blows on a windmill or wind turbine and makes it rotate. This can be looked at the kinetic energy in the moving air being converted to the kinetic energy of the rotating vanes. The rotating turbine turns a shaft that turns (through gears) a electrical generator. The generator produces electricity. This can be seen as the kinetic energy of the rotating vanes transferred to the kinetic energy of the generator, which converts it to electrical power. The electrical power is then sent into the electric grid.


What machine turns kinetic energy into electrical energy?

Dynamos and turbines. For example: a windmill converts the kinetic energy of the wind into electric energy.


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 are the applications of linear tubular generator in ocean energy conversion?

wind mills converts the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy.the total power of the wind stream is equal time rate of kinetic energy. =


Is a windmill gravitational energy?

no -- the windmill converts the kinetic energy from wind to electrical energy. Gravitational energy is another term for potential energy.


What powers a wind turbine?

The wind turbine converts kinetic energy into wind, which then turns into wind and then mechanical energy. The energy is converted to an electrical generator through a shaft which turns it into electrical energy, or in other words, electricity.


How you get the wind power?

Wind turbines create energy in a similar way as a hydro-electric dam. Wind turns the fan blades, which drive a motor that converts the kinetic energy into electric energy.
