A common windmill consists of a high steel tower on top of which revolves an

air motor. The parts of the air motor are fixed onto the wind shaft and are
automatically held into the wind or furled according to whether water should be
pumped or whether the mill needs to be protected from the severity of the wind.
An ordinary 8-foot windwheel develops less than 1/10 horse power.
A windmill is a machine for converting wind energy into mechanical energy.
A windmill is used for grinding grain, pumping water for irrigation and in the
past few years for generating electricity.
