anywhere, smart one
That's right, anywhere. Small, efficient wind generators have now been designed that can be placed nearly anywhere the wind blows. This includes homesteads, schools, green houses, city houses, boats, at campsites, etc. So, not only can you use the energy produced from wind everywhere we use electricity now, we can also generate it at the site of consumption.

How is wind power used to make elecricity?
Wind is caused by huge convection currents in the Earth's atmosphere, driven by heat energy from the Sun. The moving air has huge amounts of kinetic energy, and this can be transferred into electrical energy using wind turbines. Wind turbines cannot work if there is no wind, or if the wind speed is so high it would damage them.
What are the white fans that make electricity called?
The white fans that make electricity are called wind turbines. Wind turbines are devices that convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy through the use of rotating blades. When the wind blows, it causes the blades to spin, which in turn drives a generator to produce electricity. Wind turbines are commonly used to generate renewable energy from wind power.
What percentage of wind energy is used in the UK?
Approximately 9.3% of the UK's electricity requirement.
How do windmills store electricity?
I take it that you are referring to a wind turbine? A wind turbine doesn't save energy; it generates energy. It can be argued that it is more 'eco-friendly', but of course it takes energy to manufacture and install wind turbines, and the only reason they are used is because they are heavily subsidised through increase energy bills to consumers; without these subsidies, wind turbines wouldn't even be considered as a practical source of energy. This is because the energy generated is appallingly-low, and their output cannot be guaranteed to match demand, and they are very expensive.
A wind turbine changes what kind of energy into electrical energy?
kinetic (the energy in the moving air)
Where has wind energy been used and how?
Wind energy can be used to power many things. Wind energy is produced by wind turbines that work opposite of fans.
Where is wind energy mostly used in the US?
wind energy is mostly used in texas
What device is used harness the energy in wind and convert it into electricity?
A wind turbine is used to convert the wind into energy.
What device is used to harness the energy in wind and convert into the electricity?
A wind turbine is used to convert the wind into energy.
What are examples of how wind energy is used?
one example of wind energy are wind mills.
Wind energy renewable?
Wind is a renewable resource on earth. Wind turbines can be used to catch the wind's energy and be used to create electricity.
Where is wind energy being used in Canada?
wind energy is used in all parts of Canada
How might wind power energy be used?
wind power energy may be used by using it to brush your teeth because it helps the energy of the water create wind from the water/wind power energy.
How do we use wind energy?
Wind energy is used like regular coal energy with a slight difference as wind energy is renewable.
Are Wind farms used to transform the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy?
Wind turbines (in a wind farm) convert kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. Not to be confused with wind mills - that turn the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy.
What is the science behind wind energy?
Wind energy is used for electricty, wind turbine, windmills, and a wind machine
How much of the percent of energy used is wind?
Around 2% of energy consumption is wind energy.
