I am doing giant windmills in class today and I just wondered if you could answer my question for me? This is my question: 'are giant windmills used anywhere already' thankyou!!!!!! As far as I know the biggest in use now is rated at 2 megawatts
They are used to make energy from the wind.
Windmills harness wind power, and were originally used for grinding grain. Today, the wind energy is converted into electricity by turbine generators.
windmills are there to help save energy and renew electricity.
yes.
Windmills have evolved from traditional mechanical devices used for grinding grain or pumping water into modern wind turbines that generate electricity. Advancements in materials, design, and technology have made windmills more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective. Today's windmills are larger, more powerful, and capable of harnessing more energy from the wind.
ireland Holland and Sweeden i think.
windmills are used now for mainly wind energy but in the old times the dutch used them to grind corn and wheat for flour
During the Middle Ages, windmills were used primarily for grinding grain and pumping water.
The first windmills were used for grinding grain and pumping water. In ancient times, windmills were primarily used to grind grain into flour, providing an efficient method for food production. Later on, windmills were also used to pump water from wells and drain marshes.
Wind energy is harnessed through the use of windmills. Windmills capture the kinetic energy of the wind and convert it into mechanical power. This mechanical power is then used to generate electricity through a generator.
sawmills
Yes definitely ! Other common uses of windmills: - Water pumping (to dry fields or to water crops) - Energy production (either mecanical or electrical through an alternator)
