A mill operated by the power of the wind, usually by the action of the wind upon oblique vanes or sails which radiate from a horizontal shaft.
A machine that converts wind into useful energy (usually regulated electricity or water pumping, pressing oil from seeds and irrigations). There are two types : horizontal-axis and vertical-axis towers. Typical machines starts operating at about 20 km/h with optimum performance at about 50 km/h.
a mill that is powered by the wind
generator that extracts usable energy from winds
a device that harnesses the energy of the wind in order to run machinery
a huge fan with blades (sails) mounted on a tower and works with wind
a machine for grinding corn, pumping water etc
a machine that converts the kinetic energy from wind into useful work
a machine that uses the wind to turn a wheel
an engine powered by the energy of wind
an example of a permissible perpetual motion machine,
A mill or other machine that runs off the energy generated by a wheel of adjustable blades or slats rotated by the wind.
A device that uses wind power to mill grain into flour. But informally used as a synonym for wind generator or wind turbine, and to describe machines that pump water with wind power. See also: Wind Turbine
A wind energy conversion system that is used to grind grain. However, the word windmill is commonly used to refer to all types of wind energy conversion systems.
A WECS that is used to grind grain, and that typically has a high-solidity rotor; commonly used to refer to all types of WECS.
A windmill is an engine powered by the wind to produce energy, often contained in a large building as in traditional post mills, smock mills and tower mills. The energy windmills produce can be used in many ways, traditionally for grinding grain or spices, pumping water, sawing wood or hammering seeds. Modern wind power machines are used for generating electricity and are more commonly called wind turbines.
Windmill is a solitaire card game played with two decks of playing cards. It is so called because the initial layout resembles a windmill's sails.
The Windmill (or briefly Mill) is one of the most well-known power moves in breakdance. The breaker rolls his torso continuously in a circular path on the floor, across the upper chest/shoulders/back, while twirling his legs in a V-shape through the air.
