What do you know about windmills?

A windmill is a machine that converts the energy of wind into rotational energy by means of vanes called sails or blades. The reason for the name "windmill" is that the devices originally were developed for milling grains for food production; the name stuck when in the course of history, windmill machinery was adapted to supply power for many industrial and agricultural needs other than milling. The majority of modern windmills take the form of wind turbines used to generate electricity, or wind pumps used to pump water, either for land drainage or to extract groundwater.

How do windmills work without electricity?

Soo there is a turbine in the center of the rotating part, so when the wind make the three spikes rotate, the turbine spins generating electricity. It makes electricity; it doesnt need it. The turbine king of works like a rotor or if you know anything about hyropower elctricity then you know about the turbine that spins when water falls. So basically in windmills, the wind causes the spikes to turn making the turbine work generating power... hope it helps...:)
