Answer 2

Uh...Wind pushes on slanted blades...uh...blades turn a turbine thingie...and voila! power

Answer 3

In the farms it's used to pump water. It's just a piston with a one way valve on it going up and down

Answer 4

A windmill is a machine that is powered by the energy of the wind. It is designed to convert the energy of the wind into more useful forms using rotating blades or sails. The term also refers to the structure it is commonly built on. In much of Europe, windmills served originally to grind grain, though later applications included pumping water and, more recently, generation of electricity. Recent electricity generating versions are referred to as wind turbines.

so basically its just like a big fan that generates natural energy
