Are windmills wind energy?
Windmills are not wind energy but if put in use it can create energy from the wind it gets so its called wind energy but all the energy is retained by the windmill... Easily enought "NO"
How do wind turbines create energy if there is no wind?
They don't, there are brakes in the nacelle which is a part of the wind turbine. When there is no wind the brakes are on so that the rotors don't turn. In other words TURBINES DON'T MAKE ENERGY WHEN THERE IS NO WIND. They only produce power when the wind is between 14 and 28 mph.
What is the defintion of wind energy?
Wind energy is a renewable energy source that harnesses the power of the wind to generate electricity. This is typically done using wind turbines that capture the kinetic energy of the wind and convert it into electrical energy. Wind energy is a clean and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels for generating electricity.
Why were wind turbines created?
So that we would have yet another source of renewable energy... Wind Edit: I'm assuming it came from Windmills to ground corn or whatever to make flour. People found out how to convert the kinetic energy into eletrical energy. Wind is a rewnewable source of energy. Why not use the wind to it's advantage without harming the environment?
What are the good and bad points about wind?
Good points: Wind is a renewable energy source that is abundant and widely available. It produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation and helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Bad points: Wind energy can be intermittent, as wind speeds can vary. Wind turbines can also have visual and noise impacts on local communities and wildlife, and infrastructure costs can be high.
Why are water wind and the sun good sources of energy?
It is a good source because there is so much of it.
What type of energy is associated with wind?
Wind is moving air. So it contains kinetic energy
One problem with wind energy as a major source of electricity is?
The problem with wind energy is that it does not produce much electricity. Wind does not flow at all places. So having wind energy as a major source of electricity is not a option.
How is wind power used to make elecricity?
Wind is caused by huge convection currents in the Earth's atmosphere, driven by heat energy from the Sun. The moving air has huge amounts of kinetic energy, and this can be transferred into electrical energy using wind turbines. Wind turbines cannot work if there is no wind, or if the wind speed is so high it would damage them.
Why are energy wind mills so high up in the air?
so they get more wind
What is the difference between wind energy and wind turbines?
. Wind energy is the energy taken from the wind that makes the rotor blade of the wind turbine to rotate, so that an alternator coupled to it can generate electricity. Wind turbine is a huge apparatus designed to transform wind energy into electricity.
Is wind energy cheap or expensive?
wind energy is only air but wind mills and wind turbins are about 5m to 10m dollars... so yes they are expensive.

Would wind turbines be an option on north pole?
It depends if the people who make the wind turbines use batteries. Because without batteries, wind energy cannot be stored. They would also have to be very heavy duty batteries so that they don't freeze. Most likely wind turbines on the North Pole are not such a good idea
Is wind energy reusable?
No, reusable is not the same as renewable. When a wind passes through a wind turbine it loses energy, so that mass of air has to regain energy before it can be used again.
