Wind energy can be converted to electricity by wind turbines in many formats. The electricity an be used in anything.
Wind energy can be converted directly to mechanical energy (Dutch Windmills) to power pumps or mills.
Wind energy can be used as a motive force for sail boats and ice boats.
It help green housewives dry their clothes
Kites use wind energy to lift weights and amuse children.
Aeolian harps are made to play.
Sailplanes or gliders use wind to power their flight
Theo Jansen uses wind to make sculptures that walk across the land (http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=sNA_bd0b1bw)
An aside: Seems this could be made into a poem!

∙ 14y agoin windy regions as an alternative source of energy, usually not the sole source but a contributor. Fossil fuel plants must be built to supplement these systems as wind varies and thus provides limited overall power. Currently we use them as primary power for P.R. purposes. Fossil fuel plants run (unattached to grid) to backup these sites. NO where has wind ever replace even a single fossil fuel plant.

∙ 15y agoThe oldest wind mills are found in Holland. People in Holland figured out a way to harness energy form the wind many centuries ago.
This was then adapted by other countries too.
Wind energy is really clean burning source of energy.

∙ 15y agoWind energy has been used for thousands of years. related to the wind that runs along the surface, wind energy is a very smart way, in my eyes, to give energy to the rest of the world!!!

Windmills, wind turbines, sailing boats etc.

What are 5 differences between solar and wind energy?
solar energy is energy from the sun and wind energy is energy from the wind
How does wind energy affect the environment?
Wind energy does not help the environment exactly. But using other sources of energy such as burning fossil fuels or using nuclear power can hurt the environment. So wind is less hurtful 6 these other sources energy in many ways because wind energy does not create harmful waste products (CO2 in the case of fossil fuels and radioactive waste were nuclear power). Wind energy has it's own problems however: it has been show that the turbines can kill birds that fly into them, and some people find them ugly to look at. There are no sources of energy that are known that HELP the environment. There are just some that hurt it less than others. The best way to help the environment is to let it be undisturbed!!
Why might using other sources of power like wind and solar energy help to slow global warming?
Because renewable energy, like wind and solar, has no greenhouse gas emissions.
Where the wind energy source is found and how it is recovered?
Wind energy is recovered by changing wind energy to electricity
Did wind possesses both kinetic and potential energy?
Blowing wind has kinetic energy. This can be transformed into electrical energy using a turbine to transform the wind into rotational kinetic energy and a generator or alternator to convert the rotational kinetic energy to electrical energy. Water above a dam has potential energy from gravity and also from the weight of the water around it. Once it is moving or flowing down through the pipes it then has kinetic energy.
How did people first start using wind energy?
it started with the sailing ships back in Egypt, and then windmills up to Europe
Would this stop people from using wind energy?
No but ya mumma will!
How is energy generated using wind power?
Wind energy is generated by wind!! *gasp*
How To Capture Energy from Wind?
You can capture wind energy by using windmills and tubines. Farmers have them to capture wind energy.
What is a sentence using the word wind energy?
I'm looking into wind energy.
How much of wind energy is the US Using?
Around 2% of energy consumption is wind energy.
How is wind energy collected?
Wind energy is collected by using wind turbines and making electricity which powers a generator that can control the energy.
Which of these is an advantage of using wind as a source of energy?
Wind energy doesn't pollute the air.
If windmills dont work how do people who use wind energy still get electricity?
A windmill produced electricity while the wind blows. It may produce energy when the wind blows and people don't need it. People don't need all the energy a windmill produces all the time but they may need energy when the wind is not blowing. Windmills are therefore linked up to battery systems and charge the batteries when the wind is blowing, energy is being produced, and nobody is using it. When people need energy and the wind is not blowing (no power is being produced) they use power from the batteries.
What are the disadvantages of using wind energy and solar energy?
Solar energy is not available when the day is cloudy.Wind energy is not available when wind is not blowing.
What does wind mean as in energy?
A wind machine called windmills is powered by the energy of the wind. It is designed to convert the energy of the wind into more useful forms using rotating blades.
Have people learned to use less energy?
i think people have learned to use less energy from certian things like gas, coal, or oil by using solar, wind, and water to make energy, but in general no. if anything people are using more energy than ever.
