Due to the rotation of the Earth, there is a general flow of air from the west towards the east. This is caused by the Sun warming the air as a new day dawns ta that location.

Some of the energy contained in this moving air may be captured by various windmills and the like. There are a wide variety of technologies for this capture.

In modern times, the common method is to convert the wind energy to electrical power. But there are still many wind driven transport applications.
