Weather creates masses of moving air. Some of the energy of the air can be captured by a windmill or wind turbine and converted into another form.

In a modern wind turbine the blades are aerodynamically shaped to get the most power from the wind. The blades turn a generator which produces electrical energy.

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.


Are wind mills renewable or non-renewable?

The turbines (mills) themselves are non-renewable but the wind the power source that is converted into useful work (usually electricity) is renewable.


Do wind mills still work if there is no wind?

No, windmills rely on wind to generate power through their blades rotating. If there is no wind, the windmill will not be able to produce electricity.

What is the difference between wind mills wind generators or wind turbines?

The true difference is use. A wind mill is traditionally used on a farm to power the house where as a wind generator/ turbine is used for electricity on a much higher amount. All of these things are using the power of wind to create electricity/ power for something.


What work do wind mills do?

Windmills convert wind energy into mechanical power, which can be used to pump water, grind grain, or generate electricity. They work by capturing the kinetic energy in the wind and transferring it into a useful form of energy.


What did they use in the early 1700's instead of electricity?

E.g. horses, sailing ships, wind mills, water mills. And human muscle power, of course.
