This is done with a so-called "generator". It uses the interactions between electricity and magnetism to convert the movement to an electrical current. That is, if a conductor moves through a magnetic field, a voltage is induced.
Windmills convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy through the rotation of their blades, which turns a generator. This generator then converts mechanical energy into electrical energy that can be used to power homes, buildings, and other devices.
Electrical generators convert kinetic energy into electrical energy through the principle of electromagnetic induction. When a conductor such as wire moves in a magnetic field, it induces an electric current to flow, generating electricity. The kinetic energy of the spinning turbine is thus converted into electrical energy that can be used to power homes and industries.
No, a light bulb does not convert kinetic energy into electrical energy. Light bulbs rely on electrical energy to produce light. The kinetic energy of moving objects is not directly converted into electrical energy to power the light bulb.
An electric motor is used to convert electrical energy into kinetic energy. The motor receives electrical power and uses it to generate mechanical movement, which translates into kinetic energy. This conversion process is commonly used in various devices such as fans, pumps, and vehicles.
Wind energy is derived from windmills, which convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical or 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.

Photo voltaic cells (solar cells) convert light energy into electrical energy. Electric generators convert kinetic energy into electrical energy. Internal combustion engines convert chemical energy into kinetic energy.

Electrical generator: A device for converting mechanical (kinetic) energy 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.
Electrical generators convert kinetic energy into electrical energy through the principle of electromagnetic induction. When a conductor such as wire moves in a magnetic field, it induces an electric current to flow, generating electricity. The kinetic energy of the spinning turbine is thus converted into electrical energy that can be used to power homes and industries.
All mechanical (power station) generators do this.
