To pump water out of low lying areas that would be flooded otherwise.
windmills are used now for mainly wind energy but in the old times the dutch used them to grind corn and wheat for flour
Windmills are important because they provide electricity. The more the windmills move, the more electricity. If you go to Palm Springs in California, you will find hundreds and hundreds of windmills, because it is a windy place. Hope this helped.
The concept of flying windmills, often referred to as airborne wind energy systems, has been developed by various researchers and companies over the years. One notable pioneer in this field is the Dutch company, Ampyx Power, which has been working on airborne wind energy technology since the early 2000s. While there isn't a single inventor of "flying windmills," the technology has evolved through contributions from multiple innovators and organizations focused on harnessing wind energy at higher altitudes.
When they cut down forests to put up the windmills you lose all the oxygen generating from the trees and the windmills that produce wind energy can only be used in that community; also the trucks bring in the parts for the windmills pollutes the environment.
Large windmills consist of a base, often a building constructed of wood or stone, with a series of blades or sails (the flat or semi-flat pieces), and a gear-box that allow the blades to turn. School projects of small windmills can be made of a can for a base, a thin wooden stick, plastic for the sails, wires. The related link gives more information. As wind hits the blades or sails, they begin to turn (aided by the gear box). This turning energy can be harnessed to create power. As a power-producer, windmills reduce reliance on fossil fuels like coal and thereby create cleaner energy sources. The Dutch have used windmills for centuries. The USA has far fewer windmills, although more individuals have become interested in "wind power", especially over the last 30 years.
Dutch people and windmills
Yes, that is what the windmills are for.
Cheese, clogs, tulips, and windmills.
they made them when there was water
Dalen
The translation is basically the same. Windmills are called windmolens in Dutch
You can find dutch windmills all over the Netherlands. You can find most of the mills in the western part of the Netherlands. There are still about 1000 windmills in the Netherlands. Most popular: Kinderdijk (near Rotterdam) and Zaanse Schans (near Amsterdam).
Tulips! Windmills! Clogs! Cheese!

Windmills. Learn to Dutch.
I am sure some windmills were used to grind flour, however the majority were used a pumps to keep the land drained.
