There may be a small propeller on the opposite side to the main sails or there may be a vane to turn the windmill. See the examples in the links below.

Do windmills blow?

No. Windmills have their blades angled in such a way as to catch moving air or wind. When the wind hits the blades it pushes them and they spin, which then gets other gears of the windmill turning, which then generate energy for whatever it is they need that energy to do. So the windmills themselves do not make wind or "blow".
