What is the most significant result based on the development of windmills and waterwheels?

The development of windmills and waterwheels marked a significant advancement in harnessing renewable energy sources for mechanical tasks, greatly enhancing productivity in agriculture and industry. These technologies facilitated the grinding of grain, irrigation, and other processes, reducing reliance on human or animal labor. This shift not only improved efficiency but also contributed to economic growth and the foundation for future innovations in energy use. Ultimately, they laid the groundwork for the industrial revolution and the eventual transition to more advanced forms of energy.

How was it discovered that water could produce electricity?

Water had been used for at least 3000 years to turn waterwheels to grind grain.In the late 1700s waterwheels began to be used to provide power for the spinning machines and looms of textile plants.With the development of electrical technologies and the generator in the 1800s it became obvious that waterwheels could power generators also and generate electricity.Water turbines replaced waterwheels for turning generators as they were more efficient.As you can see, it was not a discovery but a slow development and evolution of water power technology.
