A thermostat uses electrical energy to power its internal circuits and sensors that monitor the temperature. When the desired temperature is reached, the thermostat activates a switch that turns off the heating or cooling system, which uses mechanical energy to control the flow of air or water. The thermal energy comes into play as the thermostat detects temperature fluctuations in the environment and signals the heating or cooling systems to adjust accordingly.

Is a thermostat mechanical energy?

No, a thermostat is not considered mechanical energy. A thermostat is a device that senses and controls the temperature of a system by turning on or off a heating or cooling source, which involves electrical or thermal energy rather than mechanical 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.
