How do you convert thermal energy into electrical energy and are electrical energy and mechanical energy the same thing?
I don't know how to convert it, but I'll answer the second question.
Mechanical energy is made from say...a Bike, the energy that makes it move and pulls it forward is considered mechanical energy. Electrical energy is made from a lightbulb, or anything that is electrical. So to answer that question..No, mechanical energy is not the same as electrical energy.
Answer:Electrical Energy is consumed by, it is not made from a lightbulb or anything that is electrical...Steam (thermal energy) drives a turbine which drives a generator (mechanical energy) which produces electrical energy.
No they are not the same thing aside from both being forms of energy.
Electrical energy can be converted into mechanical energy such as plugging in your blender or vacuum cleaner and mechanical energy can be converted to electrical energy as mentioned in the example of the generator above.

What can thermal energy convert into?
Thermal energy can be converted into alot of things just go find out what it is.
What is a device to convert electron flow to another form of energy?
A device that converts electron flow into another form of energy is called a transducer. Transducers can convert electrical energy into mechanical, thermal, or optical energy, among other types. Examples include speakers (electrical to acoustic energy), light bulbs (electrical to light energy), and electric heaters (electrical to thermal energy).
What are similar to motors except they convert mechanical energy to electrical energy?
Generators are similar to motors in that they both involve the conversion of energy, but generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, whereas motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Does wind turbins convert potentia lenergy kinetic energy or thermal energy into its original potential 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.
The conversion of electrical energy in to mechanical energy?
Motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. Generators transfer mechanical energy to electrical energy.

Is a windmill electrical to thermal or electrical to mechanical or chemical to thermal?
Assuming that you're talking about a wind-powered electrical generator (such as a "wind farm"), the energy conversion is from mechanical to electrical. When the wind blows on the blades of the mill it rotates them, creating mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is used to power the electrical generator inside the mill, creating electrical energy out of mechanical energy.

Electrical motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.
What is the device that converts mechanical energy to AC electrical energy?
The device which convert mechanical energy in to electrical energy is "Dynamo".
