<p>Interestingly, man has been making use of the wind for power for hundreds of years before electricity was invented. &nbsp;In medieval times, they built windmills, which were buildings with big sails on them, that would rotate in the wind, which would basically cause an axel to turn, which would move a heavy round piece of stone. &nbsp;They'd put grain under that round piece of stone and it would roll over the grain, crushing it... the people then used that to make dough/bread. &nbsp;They are called windmills.</p>
<p>The same principal is used to make electricity. &nbsp;The wind moves the sails, which rotates an axel into a wind turbine, as Kutrulaji mentioned. &nbsp;&nbsp;The good thing is, we can now power our houses with wind energy. &nbsp;Have a look at this article about wind trees (https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-tech/energy-production/wind-tree-arbre-a-vent-turbine.htm). &nbsp;I'd love to get one.</p>
