Question

Write a short summary of how windmills convert kinetic energy of the wind to electrical energy.

Answer 1

Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.

Answer 2

short summary of how windmills convert kinetic energy of the wind to electrical energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wind turbines use blades to collect the wind's kinetic energy. Wind flows over the blades creating lift (similar to the effect on airplane wings), which causes the blades to turn. The blades are connected to a drive shaft that turns an electric generator, which produces (generates) electricity.
