Windmills: Early and New
The windmill was an appliance that date backs to the 500-900 A.D. Windmills were invented by the people of Persia. They say the first windmill was a vertical axle windmill, and it was first used for to grind grains to make flour. As you know by now, having three new windmills in Gloucester, that is not why we use windmills today. Windmills are used to convert wind power into energy, it does this by using sails. Sails are a piece of material extended from the windmill to catch the wind. Just like a sail on a sail boat.
Windmills have developed greatly since when they were first made. They are used world wide for another environmental way to make energy. They cost a lot of money to make and place in the area needed, but it saves money in the long run. It is like solar energy, it is safer for the environment and produces a lot of energy but it depends on the source and power of the wind. Windmills are very resourceful and helpful for the environment and the business or city it is converting energy for.
