What is History and Mechanics of Windmills about?

Windmills have been used since ancient times to grind grain and pump water. Modern wind turbines use wind to generate electricity through blades connected to a generator inside a nacelle. Horizontal axis wind turbines are most common today, with three long blades mounted on a tower, but some vertical axis designs also exist. While wind power is renewable and produces no emissions, disadvantages include unpredictable wind, potential impacts on wildlife and noise from large wind farms.
