Do you know the difference between windmills and wind turbines?
💨
Traditionally, windmills are used to grind grain or pump water. They feature large, flat blades designed to convert wind energy into mechanical energy for specific tasks like milling grain or pumping water.
🌬
In contrast, a wind turbine is designed to generate electricity. It typically features three aerodynamically designed blades mounted on a tall tower and is oriented to face into the wind. The blades are connected to a generator that converts the rotational energy of the blades into electrical power.
