Wind energy is harnessed in a windmill by the spinning blades turning a rotor connected to a generator that produces electricity. The electricity can be used immediately or stored in batteries for later use. Wind energy itself cannot be stored, but the generated electricity can be stored for later consumption.
What else can I help you with?
How does a windmill store energy?
It isn't meant to store energy. It simply transforms the wind energy into other forms of useful energy. Of course, it may briefly have some rotational (i.e. kinetic) energy stored, but that won't last long.
Where is there potential energy in a windmill?
Potential energy in a windmill is stored in the height of the blades above the ground. As the wind turns the blades, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy to rotate the turbine and generate electricity.
On a day when the air is still a windmill still possesses what type of energy?
On a day when the air is still, a windmill would have potential energy stored in its structure. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the wind blows and makes the windmill blades turn.
How is wind energy harnessed and used?
The wind turns a windmill which then turns a turbine that generates electricity using inductance. Also, more 'primitive' applications simply use a windmill to turn gears and shafts to pump water or grind grain, etc.
How do windmill collect energy?
Windmills collect energy by using the kinetic energy of the wind to spin their blades, which are connected to a turbine. The turbine then converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy through a generator. This electrical energy can be used to power homes, businesses, or be stored for later use.
How is wind energy stored for later used?
In a windmill
What is the form in which energy is stored in wind?
First of all, I believe that you have the question a bit wrong. I think that what you want to ask is "What type of energy is in wind" rather than what type of energy is stored in wind. Wind would be kinectic energy which means "energy in motion".

When was wind energy first harnessed?
wind was first harnessed in 3500 BC
What kind of energy is a windmill?
Windmill composed of 2 energies. One is the mechanical energy. To make it work the force of the wind allows the windmill to run and this process produces the second energy called the wind energy.
How do windmill collect energy?
Windmills collect energy by using the kinetic energy of the wind to spin their blades, which are connected to a turbine. The turbine then converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy through a generator. This electrical energy can be used to power homes, businesses, or be stored for later use.
When the air is still a windmill still possesses what types of energy why?
When the air is still, a windmill could still possess potential energy stored in its structure, ready to be converted into kinetic energy once the wind starts blowing. Additionally, if the windmill is connected to a generator, it could also store electrical energy generated from previous wind events.
What page did William kamkwamba start building his windmill from the boy who harnessed the wind?
pg.149
Which year invented the windmill?
6000 years ago wind power was harnessed in what now is Iraq.
