We have an unlimited amount of wind so it is an ingenious way of harvesting power so that we dont use up all the earth's natural resources such as oil. We can use the wind to turn a turbine which produces kinetic energy.

Windmills produce electricity by using what source of energy?

Windmills produce electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy of the wind. The wind causes the blades of the windmill to rotate, which in turn drives a generator to produce electricity.


What is the device that uses wind to produce energy?

A wind turbine is a device that uses the force of the wind to generate electricity. Wind turbines have blades that spin when the wind blows, turning a generator to produce electricity.

One problem with wind energy as a major source of electricity is?

The problem with wind energy is that it does not produce much electricity. Wind does not flow at all places. So having wind energy as a major source of electricity is not a option.


What do wind turbines generate?

Wind turbines generate electricity by converting the kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy using the rotor blades, which then turns a generator to produce electricity.

How can wind and flowing water produce electricity?

Wind and flowing water can produce electricity through turbines. In the case of wind energy, wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical power that drives a generator to produce electricity. With flowing water, hydroelectric turbines are used to convert the potential energy of the moving water into electricity.


How wind is used to produce electricity?

Turbines are built in large lots. As wind blows, they turn. These are connected to "power outlets" these outlets lead to homes. As the turbines turn mechanical energy turns into electricity and powers our homes.Imagine it as a large mill that turns as water flows through it, and is used to produce bread
