A windmill may not turn if there is not enough wind to drive its blades. Other reasons could be mechanical issues with the windmill or its components. Regular maintenance and monitoring are important for optimal performance.

Can you run a windmill using smoke... by passing the smoke into the blades of windmill?

No, running a windmill using smoke is not feasible. Windmills rely on the mechanical energy generated by the movement of air (wind) to rotate the blades and generate power. Introducing smoke into the blades will not provide the necessary energy to turn the windmill.


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 does energy transfer when the wind causes a windmill to spin?

When wind causes a windmill to spin, it transfers kinetic energy to the blades of the windmill. The kinetic energy of the spinning blades is then converted into mechanical energy as the blades turn the shaft connected to a generator. The generator then converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy, which can be used to power homes, businesses, or other electrical devices.


What type of energy is a windmill turning?

The kinetic energy of the moving air is transferred to the blades of a windmill, causing them to turn. This kinetic energy is then converted into mechanical energy through the motion of the blades, which is further transformed into electrical energy by a generator housed within the windmill.


On a day when the air is still a windmill still possesses?

On a day with calm air, a windmill will not be able to generate much power as there is not enough wind to turn its blades. The still air will cause the windmill to remain motionless and not produce any energy.

Why won't the windmill turn on Astro Knights Island?

Go inside the mill and pull on the rope that releases the gear lock. Now the arms of the windmill will turn. Go counterclockwise and watch the roof dome.


How does a windmill or helicopter turn?

Helicopters and windmills turn different ways. Windmills turn by the wind. The stronger the wind, the faster the windmill goes. Helicopter turn by electricity. Electricity is "hot". For Example: If you get electrocuted it will feel hot. You will really be getting burnt. So the heat of of the fire will light the wire's and that will turn the helicopter's propeller.


Where are the gears on Astro Knights Island?

Inside the windmill, climb into the loft and hang on the rope. This will release the gear lock and allow the windmill arms to turn. Jump up on them to turn them counter-clockwise, which will open the roof dome.


How do you spin the windmill in the impossible test?

Start by holding the device perpendicular to the ground. Then, spin in circles. That's how you spin the windmill. First, you move your ipod touch/iphone to the right then you turn it upside down and then you turn it to the right again. Once you finish doing that, you have to turn it right once more which should be right side up. Then the windmill should be spinning and you just have to wait.
