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.
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.

Thank you, I need to have notions to model a beautiful windmill in PSX style.
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!
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.
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 )
Resentment for green energy comes from what people have seen taken from them by heavy handed politicians ( low flush toilets cfl's .etc), I however grew up poor so certain energy efficient things ( like using compost to heat your water) was a way of life so I think if politicians chill out on forcing things down people's throats and let the tech grow people will accept it with open arms
