Windmills extract energy from the wind whenever the wind is blowing. Day or night, Summer or Winter.
Windmills are often placed on mountains because they have access to stronger and more consistent wind currents at higher altitudes, which is ideal for generating electricity. Additionally, siting windmills on mountains reduces visual and noise impact on local communities, and also helps to minimize disturbance to valuable farmland or natural habitats.
Windmills are so tall because they need to be able to tell the direction of the wind
I doubt that a uniform count of windmills is available. Also, do you include wind pumps and wind turbines?
Aside from creating a bit of turbulence around the outer sections of the blades, they don't physically do anything. Air being a gas, flowing around obstructions has no effect whatever on it. OTOH, they do tend be to obnoxiously noisy because of the turbulence.
New windmills typically have larger blades and more advanced technology, allowing them to catch more wind compared to old windmills. The larger blades and improved design of new windmills enable them to generate more electricity efficiently.
windmills are used now for mainly wind energy but in the old times the dutch used them to grind corn and wheat for flour
windmills are there to help save energy and renew electricity.
Yes, there are lots of windmills in Europe.
there is no windmills!
