A windmill is a machine that converts kinetic wind energy into mechanical energy.  A turbine is a machine that further converts that mechanical energy into electrical energy.  A turbine is also referred to as a wind energy converter.

Wind turbines are of two types; a horizontal wind turbine, which has its rotor shaft placed at the top of its body and must be pointed at the wind, and a vertical wind turbinewhich has its rotor placed vertically and at a lower point.
