Windmill Experiments
Definition
A windmill is a machine that converts the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical rotary energy by using rotating blades. Windmills served ones to grind grain, pump water and for other jobs but today windmills are mostly used to generate electricity when harnessed to electric generators and commonly referred to as wind turbines.
