Best Answer

Windmills have blades that are designed to catch the wind, causing them to spin. The rotation of the blades drives a generator inside the windmill, which then converts the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy.

Why the Windmills in Ireland moves in opposite direction?

They don't. They way windmills turn is based on their design and the prevailing winds where they are built. Windmills in Ireland are no different than others in the world.


Do the blades in a windmill turn horizontally or vertically?

Windmills always turn counterclockwise, but this is an exception to the windmills found in Ireland.


What happens to windmills when there is no wind?

Windmills do not operate without wind. When there is no wind, windmills are unable to generate electricity or perform their intended function. They rely on the kinetic energy from the wind to turn the blades and produce power.


What energy is used in windmills?

Windmills use wind energy to generate electricity. The kinetic energy from the movement of the wind spins the turbine blades, which then turn a generator to produce electricity.


How does electricity be generated by wind?

with windmills which gears turn a generator to make electricity


How do you get past the gate and the four windmills?

Step on the turners and turn them to open the gate.


What happens to windmills when no wind?

When there is no wind, windmills are unable to generate electricity. They rely on wind to turn their blades and in turn, generate power through a turbine. Without wind, the windmill remains stationary and cannot produce energy.


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.


What is the only country in the world where windmills turn clockwise instead of counter clockwise?

Northern Ireland!


What is the working of windmills?

Windmills use the kinetic energy from the wind to rotate the blades of the turbine, which in turn spins a generator to produce electricity. The wind flow causes the blades to turn, converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy that can be used to power homes and businesses.


Are windmills built so that engineers can control the flow of water?

....but in countries like The Netherlands which are partly below sea level, windmills are used to control the level of water.


Can windmills on the same property go in two different directions?

Yes, just reverse the blades on one of the windmills. Another possibility could involve the *size* of the property referred to. For example windmills located at opposite ends of Austrialia might well turn in different directions.
