When the blowing wind strikes across the blades of wind-mill, it exerts a force on them due to which the blades of the wind-mill start rotating. As long as the wind is blowing, the blades of wind-mill keep on rotating continuously. The rotational motion of the blades of the wind-mill can be used to drive a large number of machines like water-pumps, flour mills and electric generators.
