Yes, a turbine is a large wheel that rotates when pushed by water, wind, or steam. It is connected to the dynamo (alternator) that generates electric power.
Wind energy can be transformed to a suitable form for human use. It could use turbine connected with dynamo to generate electricity. It could connect the turbine with gear and use the mechanical energy transformed to pump the water or operate a mill. It could use sail to catch the momentum of the wind to sail the ship.
That's an electrical generator, whether the mechanical energy comes from steam or water flowing through a turbine, or wind, or tides.
Wind makes the turbine move and the wind makes elctrecity.
The wind turns a wind turbine. The turbine turns a generator.
Yes, a turbine is a large wheel that rotates when pushed by water, wind, or steam. It is connected to the dynamo (alternator) that generates electric power.
The energy comes from whatever turns the dynamo. This can be any form of mechanical energy, water power, wind, tidal forces, steam turbine, etc.
It can be a simple mechanical joining of the two shafts, so that when the turbine shaft rotates, the joined dynamo also rotates at the same speed. It is more common to use a gearbox, so that a different rotation speed is imparted to the dynamo. The ratio will depend on the ideal speed required by the dynamo and the available power from the turbine. A relatively slow moving set of wind turbine blades, will have a lot of available power, so a gearbox that has a large gear turning a small one, will increase the speed, allowing the dynamo to produce the required voltage. A water turbine may spin at a very fast speed, beyond the working parameters of the dynamo. In this case the gearbox will not only reduce the revs to the dynamo, but it will also be able to take a heavier load.
The use of wind power for electricity involves the attachment directly or indirectly of a magnet to the turbine to spin within a dynamo to generate a current.
A wind turbine makes wind for scientific study.

a wind turbine generates electricity for or use

YES But only if you don't consider the massive amounts of energy required to make the wind turbine and get it into position. The actual energy conversion from wind to electricity is not great but it is free.
A wind turbine is like a giant fan that produces energy from the wind
Wind makes the turbine move and the wind makes elctrecity.
The rooftop wind turbine is different from other wind energy devices in that it relies on a small motor in addition to wind power, whereas other devices rely only on wind power.
