"windmills" is another name for a wind turbine in terms of generating electricity but here Windmill electricity. Mankind have been harnessing the wind's energy for many years from Holland to traditional farms around the world. Windmills were used in the past for pumping water through primative irrigation systems or used to grind grain. This is what the wind turned large "sails" which were connected by a long vertical shaft that was attached to a grindnig machine or to a wheel that turned and drew water from a well.
