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.
A windmill converts the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy through its rotating blades. This mechanical energy can then be further converted into electrical energy, making a windmill primarily a kinetic energy conversion device.
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.
no -- the windmill converts the kinetic energy from wind to electrical energy. Gravitational energy is another term for potential energy.
kinetic energy (potential energy) which transfers to mechanical energy
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.

In a windmill, the kinetic energy of the wind is transformed into mechanical energy by the rotating blades. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy by a generator inside the windmill.
Depends what windmill it is.
A windmill undergoes a transformation of energy from kinetic energy in the wind to mechanical energy in the motion of its blades. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy through a generator connected to the windmill.
The kinetic energy of the moving air (wind) is converted into mechanical energy, which then turns the blades of a windmill. This mechanical energy is further converted into electrical energy through a generator connected to the windmill.
A windmill converts wind energy into mechanical energy by turning the blades. The mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy by a generator located inside the windmill.
