A windmill has a single use. It converts wind energy into mechanical energy.
That mechanical energy can then be used for a multitude of things. Some of the common uses are:
* Powering Generators to create electricity * Running a mill to grind grain * Running pumps to move water * Driving all sorts of mechanical devices for manufacturing

What are the two uses of windmills?
Traditionally windmills have been used to grind grain for flour. In some places they pump water, for instance to drain low lying land, which is why the Netherlands became famous for windmills.
What dutch town has two public windmills?
Dalen
Where are windmills being used today?
I am doing giant windmills in class today and I just wondered if you could answer my question for me? This is my question: 'are giant windmills used anywhere already' thankyou!!!!!! As far as I know the biggest in use now is rated at 2 megawatts
What two countries produced the most windmills?
china and usa
What is the reason why a lot of windmills are used instead of just one or two?
We live in a world inhabited by approximately seven billion people. If there were only one or two people in the world, doubtlessly they would not need more than one or two windmills.
Can windmills on the same property go in two different directions?
Yes, just reverse the blades on one of the windmills. Another possibility could involve the *size* of the property referred to. For example windmills located at opposite ends of Austrialia might well turn in different directions.
What is one of the two names for a large group of windmills built in a single area?
A wind farm.
Can windmills be use to saw wood and weave cloth?
Not all windmills are solely used for wind energy; there are some that are used to saw wood and weave cloth. In short, yes.
Are windmills in any part of California?
There are two traditional Dutch style windmills located in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. They were originally built in 1902 and 1905 and are 75 and 95 feet high, respectively. They can be viewed, but are in need of restoration. There are also many other windmills located in California, but are for the most part conventional and are used to generate electrical energy from wind.
How do wind mill?
Windmills use blades to gather wind that flows over it. Just like an airplane uses wings for lift, windmills use their blades for lift as well - in this case to turn the windmill. Windmills are pretty simple structures; their blades are connected to a drive shaft that is connected to an electric generator. As the blades turn, this turns the drive shaft and creates electricity. Electricity is sent through wires and collected.There are several different types of windmills, categorized by the direction in which their blades rotate. Two different types of windmills, most commonly called turbines when producing energy, are the horizontal axis turbines and the vertical axis turbines. Horizontal turbines are by far the most popular type of turbine and are the traditional type of windmill with blades that are similar to an airplane's propeller. These are the windmills we often see pictures of - the Holland variety. On the other hand, vertical axis windmills have blades that resemble an egg beater. They are far less popular than horizontal windmills only making up a very small overall percentage.In addition, wind mills can be used to harness energy without producing electricity. An example is the type of windmill that takes the mechanical motion induced by the blades to turn millstones that grind corn and other grains, hence the term "windmill". Other examples of non-electrical windmills include those that pump water. (These have been around for a long time.)
