A windmill is a type of simple machine known as a wheel and axle. The wind causes the blades of the windmill (wheel) to rotate around an axis (axle), converting wind energy into mechanical energy.

yes it is a simple machine... the wind blowing on the wheel and axle makes it a simple machine
Whether or not a mill is an example of a wheel and axle is a matter of semantics. It certainly would contain examples of a wheel and axle.
A classic example of a wheel and axle is a bicycle. The wheel rotates around the axle, allowing the bike to move forward efficiently. Another example is a screwdriver, where turning the handle (wheel) rotates the rod (axle) to drive a screw into a surface.
You could say a bike wheel is a wheel and axle. Also a doorknob is a wheel and axle.
