Description
We live below the sea level in The Netherlands... to keep our feet dry we invented the windmills....
A windmill is a mill that converts the energy of wind into rotational energy by means of vanes called sails or blades.Centuries ago, windmills usually were used to mill grain, pump water, or both. Thus they often were gristmills, windpumps, or both. The majority of modern windmills take the form of wind turbines used to generate electricity, or windpumps used to pump water, either for land drainage or to extract groundwater.
