the wwind turns the blades(they automatcily shut down if the wind is over 50mph i think) and that turns a generator that's inside the tower, and the truining provides electricity and they send that off via power lines

Do windmills make wind?

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


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.


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.


What energy is being used in a harnessed through the use of wind mills?

Wind energy is harnessed through the use of windmills. Windmills capture the kinetic energy of the wind and convert it into mechanical power. This mechanical power is then used to generate electricity through a generator.


Why is windmills good for the environment?

You are using wind power not electricity so basically if you use wind power you are saving the environment because you are using nature

err....yea.... windmills use wind, clue is in the title


What energy is used in windmills?

Windmills use wind energy.


Do windmills use biofuels?

Ummm . . . windmills use the wind to keep them turning. No biofuels are involved.


Are windmills wind energy?

Windmills are not wind energy but if put in use it can create energy from the wind it gets so its called wind energy but all the energy is retained by the windmill... Easily enought "NO"


How can you use wind energy?

Windmills are a good way to use wind energy


Why is windmills renewable?

Windmills are renewable because they use the wind, a naturally occurring and inexhaustible resource, as a source of energy to generate electricity. As long as there is wind, windmills can continue to produce clean and sustainable power without depleting finite resources like fossil fuels.


Do windmills need electricity to work?

No. Well, not really. Some windmills run on wind alone (like the old Dutch windmills). Others use the wind to create electricity, and use some of that electricity to perform their own asks (such as rotating their fins to take best advantage of the wind they are catching). I'd expect big wind turbines would have their own processors and communications equipment to relay data and handle chores like aiming themselves to the wind and pitching the blades. They probably run and draw some power even when the turbine isn't generating it's own.
