With a generator mounted on the "turbine". The propeller spins the generator shaft.
Motor is device which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy,where as generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy
electrical energy
when electrical energy is supplied to the motor of an electric fan, some of the electrical energy is transferred to the fan blade as kinetic energy. The energy is also transformed from electrical to kinetic.
That's called an electric motor.
In some refrigeration systems, mechanical energy is converted to heat energy by mechanically compressing a refrigerant, by means of a compressor; and since refrigerants have a fixed pressure-temperature relationship, much like saturated steam, altering the pressure of a refrigerant correspondingly alters its temperature. I've read of other methods utilizing friction, which is itself mechanical energy in the more pure and direct sense rather than the operation of a mechanical device which itself is utilizing electrical energy, but the compressor example is the only practical real-world application of this nature in common, everyday use that I can think of.
Wind turbines convert wind energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy.
Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy. They do not convert energy directly back into potential, kinetic, or thermal energy.

Turbines and generators are both components of power plants. Turbines are used to convert the kinetic energy of flowing water, steam, or wind into mechanical energy, while generators then convert this mechanical energy into electrical energy. The two work together to produce electricity.
Turbines
The machine you are referring to is a generator. It converts mechanical energy, often from turbines or engines, into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction, creating an electrical current that can power various devices. Generators are commonly used in power plants, wind farms, and portable generators for backup power.
Electrical energy is useful because it is fairly easy to convert mechanical energy (from turbines, for example) into electrical energy, it is fairly easy to transport electricity over long distances, and it is fairly easy to convert the electrical energy (for example, in your home) into several other types of energy.
Wind turbines convert the energy of the wind into rotational energy known as mechanical energy.
Motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. Generators transfer mechanical energy to electrical energy.
Generators are used to convert between different forms of energy. For example, wind turbines convert the mechanical energy of turning blades into electrical energy by exploiting properties of magnetism.
Turbines in a hydroelectric dam convert mechanical energy (from flowing water) into electrical energy. When water flows through the turbines, it causes them to spin, activating a generator that produces electricity.
Wind farms generate power by using large wind turbines to convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy. The turbines are connected to generators, which then convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy. This electricity is then transferred to the grid for distribution to homes and businesses.
