how has the traditional use of wind energy been modified for our convenience
Answers
The kinetic energy of wind was traditionally used to do mechanical work like pulling water from a well or lifting. ... Nowadays, hydroelectric power stations are built to make use of the energy of water to generate electricity.
Explanation:
Earlier, the windmills were used to harness wind energy to do mechanical work such as lifting/drawing water from a well. Today, windmills are used to generate electricity.In windmills, the kinetic energy of wind is harnessed and converted into electricity.
Water energy which was used for transportation before is now a good source to generate electricity. Dams has been constructed on river for generating electricity. Waterfalls were used as a source of potential energy which was converted to electricity with the help of turbines.
