• Building with sails or vanes that turn in

the wind and generate power

• Structure that converts the energy of
wind into rotational energy by means
of vanes or blades
• Modern wind power machines are
used to create electricity. These are
called .
• The energy in the wind turns two or three
propeller-like blades around a rotor. The
rotor is connected to the main shaft,
which spins a generator to create
electricity.
• The energy made by windmills can be
used in many ways. Such as grinding
spices, pumping water, and sawing water.
