Windmills

You can find information on windmills under this Yellow Pages® heading.  A windmill is a unit that is used for some type of power source.  The use of windmills has been traced back to the early A.D. years, and they are still used in a more productive method even today.  Windmills can really be used in a variety of purposes.  The windmill itself is really just a large fan, that turns a series of connected gears when the wind blows in its direction.  Windmills can be used to create electricity, promote the flow of water, etc.

Windmills were used long ago, and are still used even today.  The main purpose of a windmill in the olden days was to promote the flow of water.  The windmill would turn a series of gears, which were connected to buckets are paddles that would consequently push the water through a predetermined path.  This was used to feed livestock, ensure proper flow of water, prevent flooding, etc.

Nowadays, with modern technology advances of pumps and so forth, windmills are generally not used for irrigation or water-related purposes, but rather to create and produce electricity.  This is considered a ‘green’, or otherwise an environmentally friendly way of producing power.  Wind mills, in this instance, are connected to a generator, which subsequently produces the electricity.  Unfortunately this can only be used as a backup source, as wind is not always prevalent enough to produce an uninterrupted supply.  That being said, it is substituted with nuclear power, as well as other sources of power.  For more information on windmills, try searching through Yellow Pages®.
