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 101: the basics of wind energy. Learn how wind energy works, what itâs used for, and how it can improve our lives at home and at work. Wind power captures the natural wind in our atmosphere and converts it into mechanical energy then electricity. People started using wind power centuries ago with windmills, which pumped water, ground grain, and did other work. Today's wind turbine is a highly evolved version of a windmill.
