“20 mph wind ... pinwheel”

Forget my last post which was wrong.

Either way - pinwheel moving, air stationary or air moving, pinwheel stationary, the air is cooled because energy is taken from the air and converted to electricity (assuming the pinwheel is driving a generator).

I am sorry, but you have a different understanding of Physics than was taught when I go my engineering degree.

Have a nice day.
