No. Windmills use the wind for various puposes such as grinding grain, pumping water, and generating electricity.

How can wind be used as power?

Windmills can make power with wind.


Do wind mills work when there is no wind?

No, windmills require wind to generate power by spinning their turbines. If there is no wind, windmills will not be able to operate.


What happens to windmills when there is no wind?

Windmills do not operate without wind. When there is no wind, windmills are unable to generate electricity or perform their intended function. They rely on the kinetic energy from the wind to turn the blades and produce power.


How does electricity be generated by wind?

with windmills which gears turn a generator to make electricity


How are windmills used today in a modified form?

They are used to make energy from the wind.


Characteristics of wind?

windmills and wind energy


Do windmills blow?

No. Windmills have their blades angled in such a way as to catch moving air or wind. When the wind hits the blades it pushes them and they spin, which then gets other gears of the windmill turning, which then generate energy for whatever it is they need that energy to do. So the windmills themselves do not make wind or "blow".


What is the fuel source in a wind power plant?

wind, and sometimes they have to use electricity to power the machines they use to make the windmills.


What energy is used in windmills?

Windmills use wind energy.


How do the blades make windmills go so fast?

The blades on windmills are designed to catch and harness the force of the wind. When wind blows against the blades, it creates lift and causes them to rotate. The speed of the wind and the design of the blades determine how fast the windmill can spin.


Do windmills work at night?

Windmills extract energy from the wind whenever the wind is blowing. Day or night, Summer or Winter.


Are windmills and wind turbines the same thing?

No, windmills and wind turbines are not the same thing. Windmills typically refer to older, traditional structures that use wind power to grind grain or pump water, while wind turbines are modern machines that convert wind energy into electricity. Wind turbines are larger and more efficient than windmills in generating power.
