how has the traditional use of wind energy been modified for our convenience
Answers
Traditional use of wind and water energy have been modified in the following ways: (a) Wind energy : Through windmill-Windmill can be used for running water pump, grinding grains and generating electricity. (b) Water energy : Through the use of hydro energy, by constructing dams and setting up hydroelectric power stations.
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.
