Wind is an example of motion (kinetic energy). Using this kinetic energy it is possible to generate electricity.
The kinetic energy of moving air initiates the force that turns a windmill's blades. It spins a drive shaft that in turn spins the shaft of a generator to make electricity. A gear box located along the drive shaft increases speed and optimizes power generation. Longer rotor blades mean a larger "rotor swept area," the total area covered by spinning blades, increasing the energy that can be captured and generating more electricity.

What is energy from wind called?
The conversion of wind energy into a useful form of energy is called the WIND... ENERGY. Have to add the ellipsis for it to work.
Wind energy is an indirect form of what energy?
Solar Energy
How is wind energy harnessed?
We use windmills to make the wind energy turn them to form electrical energy.
Why is wind power better than biomass?
Wind Energy Is a Purest Form Of Energy Source.
Which form of energy is solar energy?
it a solar energy is wind,ice, or water
True or false wind is actually a form of energy?
False. Wind itself is not a form of energy. Wind possesses kinetic energy that is converted into electrical energy as the wind is used to turn a turbine, like a windmill.
What is energy from wind called?

How is the energy in a food chain different from the energy of the wind?
how is the energy in a food chain different form the energy of the wind?
Wind energy is an indirect form of what energy?
Solar Energy
What energy is being transferred by moving air?
Wind is a form of kinetic energy. It can be called "Wind energy".
How are the fuels used for wind energy?
The energy extracted from the wind is the radiation energy coming form the Sun.
How is wind energy harnessed?
We use windmills to make the wind energy turn them to form electrical energy.
Is wind energy a form of alternative energy?
Yes.
Why is wind power better than biomass?
Wind Energy Is a Purest Form Of Energy Source.
What form of energy is the energy of the future?
Solar Energy and wind energy are the energy of the future.
How is wind a form of solar energy?
Wind is not a form of Solar Energy. Wind energy in terms of windmills are powered by the wind driving a motor whilst solar involves a more chemical process for Photovoltaic cells, and heating for thermal cells.
Which form of energy is solar energy?
it a solar energy is wind,ice, or water
