My son loved watching this video. Thanks.

Cool little video. My family still owns a farm in Kansas, complete with the requisite windmill. I always enjoyed it from a visual standpoint but never knew how it worked. By the time it occurred to me to ask all of the older generation who could have explained it to me had all passed on so I thank you for answering the question.

Ohhh! So they perpetually water animals! Nice! When I was a kid I thought they were just for decoration and fun like bigger versions of pinwheels lol!

We have old farms and ranches out in the rural areas of Fresno and Madera Counties in California, and I love taking pictures of them.

Great video. Buckethead sent me here Millwind☯️

Thank you, I need to have notions to model a beautiful windmill in PSX style.

This is how my grandpa Linden got his water when he was a kid because he lived on a farm up in Kansas, only his wood pump into the house, not into a cistern.

I’m currently playing beyond two souls and felt a urge strong enough to make me question how do windmills work exactly? Thanks TW

Very interesting. But everywhere the description is wrong? A mill grinds corn therefore a windmill. If when the blades turn and pump water it is a wind driven pump!

Great video, but it did not answer my question.
Which way does a windmill point when wind is blowing?

[denofearthundertheeverlast]

How did they turn off the windmill / water ...as to not overflow the container it is flowing into?

[typhone]

What is the maximum well depth must be ?

How high the water can be pumped ?

Only thing this is leaving out is that wind mills can use that rotational energy for pretty much any purpose, such as milling flower (the source of the name) or generating electricity.

Do you make a adaptor to connect this type of windmill to a generator?

I find myself tilting at windmills lately.

How can anyone frown on natural power sources? I think it’s cool ! Why can green & oil work together to make our country stronger and more independent?
( I’m sure if the people at the tippy tippy $$ TOP $$ could get as rich from green energy as they do from big oil etc, they would usher it all in immediately Ching Ching )
