No. Well, not really. Some windmills run on wind alone (like the old Dutch windmills). Others use the wind to create electricity, and use some of that electricity to perform their own asks (such as rotating their fins to take best advantage of the wind they are catching). I'd expect big wind turbines would have their own processors and communications equipment to relay data and handle chores like aiming themselves to the wind and pitching the blades. They probably run and draw some power even when the turbine isn't generating it's own.

How do windmills work without electricity?
Soo there is a turbine in the center of the rotating part, so when the wind make the three spikes rotate, the turbine spins generating electricity. It makes electricity; it doesnt need it. The turbine king of works like a rotor or if you know anything about hyropower elctricity then you know about the turbine that spins when water falls. So basically in windmills, the wind causes the spikes to turn making the turbine work generating power... hope it helps...:)
How can electricity be obtained from the wind?
through the use of windmills .
What is the physics behind windmills?
Windmills use the dynamo effect to create electricity (electrical generator) Dynamo is like a motor but backwards creating electricity instead of using it.
Windmills produce electricity by using what source of energy?
The wind.
Do windmills make wind?
No. Windmills use the wind for various puposes such as grinding grain, pumping water, and generating electricity.
Do windmills produce electricity?
Different windmills do different things. Some pump water. Others do produce electricity.
What are windmills used for?
windmills are there to help save energy and renew electricity.
Why are windmills important?
Windmills are important because they provide electricity. The more the windmills move, the more electricity. If you go to Palm Springs in California, you will find hundreds and hundreds of windmills, because it is a windy place. Hope this helped.

How do windmills distribute electricity to the community?
Windmills generate electricity on the spot. This electricity is then cabled into the closest grid.

How does electricity be generated by wind?
with windmills which gears turn a generator to make electricity
How windmills conserve natural resource?
windmills are generated by windand are used to generate electricity. Nowadays, electricity are generated by dams which are very harmful for the natural resources .
Why do you use windmills if you have dam?
People use a lot of electricity, and often need to obtain it from many different sources in order to get enough. It is also true that windmills have other uses than the generation of electricity, and they were in use centuries before electricity came into use. You can mill grain without electricity, by connecting millstones to an axle, which is turned by the wind.
Where does windmills come from?
windmill is a process of contain electricity.
What do windmills generate?
They generate electricity produced by wind.
How can electricity be obtained from the wind?
through the use of windmills .
