What are windmill vanes called?
Windmill vanes are called blades or sails. These are attached to the rotor of the windmill and capture the wind's energy to generate power or perform mechanical work.
How do the sails on the windmills turn?
The sails on windmills turn when they are hit by the wind. The force of the wind causes the sails to rotate, which in turn drives the machinery inside the windmill to generate power or perform mechanical work. The design of the sails is crucial for capturing the wind efficiently and converting it into rotational motion.
How do windmills know which way to face?
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.

How many rotations does a windmill make per minute?
It depends on the wind and the rating for the windmill
What are the measurements of a windmill?
The measurements of a windmill can vary depending on the size and design. The typical height of a windmill can range from 20 to 80 meters tall, with rotor diameters ranging from 50 to 120 meters. The size of the tower, blades, and overall structure will depend on the power output and location of the windmill.
What do you call a building with sails which is popular in Holland?
A windmill is a building with "sails."
What is another name for the sails of a windmill?
I don't think there is another name other than blade.
What type of building has sails?
windmill
What is a Dutch building with sails?
A Dutch building with sails is commonly called a windmill.
Why is there a force involved when the sails of a windmill turn?
becuse of the force
How does windmill blow?
A windmill does not blow.A windmill is blown by the wind.The windmills sails turn the wind into power to operate machines, pumps or electrical generators.

What angle are the sails of a windmill?
The angle of the sails of a windmill, commonly referred to as the sail or blade pitch, can vary depending on the design and purpose of the windmill. Typically, the angle is set between 10 to 20 degrees to optimize efficiency in capturing wind energy. Some modern windmills may have adjustable sails to adapt to changing wind conditions, enhancing their performance and energy output.
What is a wheel made of cloth sails that uses the wind power?
A windmill, like in the Netherlands.
Why is a fantail needed in a windmill?
The wind blown in the fantail turns the main sails to point to the wind.
What is a windmill roof called?
A tower mill is a type of vertical windmill consisting of a brick or stone tower, on which sits a wooden 'cap' or roof, which can rotate to bring the sails into the wind.
