Extrinsic hemolytic anemia is also known as autoimmune hemolytic anemia. This type of anemia develops when the spleen traps and destroys healthy red blood cells. Intrinsic hemolytic anemia develops when the red blood cells produced by your body are defective.

Today, the windmill's modern equivalent-a wind turbine-can use the wind's energy to generate electricity. Wind turbines, like windmills, are mounted on a tower to capture the most energy. At 100 feet (30 meters) or more aboveground, they can take advantage of the faster and less turbulent wind.
Wind turbines use kinetic energy to generate electrical energy for homes and businesses. Individual wind turbines can be used to generate electricity on a small scale â to help power a single home, for example. Many wind turbines grouped together (known as a wind farm or wind park) can generate electricity on a much larger scale. A wind turbine works like a high-tech version of a windmill. The wind blows on the angled blades of the rotor, causing it to spin and converting some of the windâs kinetic energy into mechanical energy.
