Dutch windmills vary in height, but traditional ones typically range from 15 to 30 meters (49 to 98 feet) tall. Some of the larger industrial windmills can reach heights of up to 50 meters (164 feet) or more. The height is often influenced by their purpose, with milling and pumping windmills being designed to maximize efficiency in harnessing wind energy.


Where were the first windmills?

Alexandria, in Egypt. The first windmill was built by Heron of Alexandria in the 1st century (AD). His 'windwheel' operated an organ (the musical instrument). This was the first time wind had been used to power a machine in history! The first practical windmills (similar to windmills found today) were built by the Persians sometime during the 9th century. Persian geographer Estakhri noted the invention of windmills. There is one document (supposedly written between 634 and 644 AD) that suggest that windmills were invented in Persia in the 7th century. However, this document was probably created in the 10th century and, therefore, is unreliable.
