How do older windmills and new windmills differ?

Older windmills typically have a simpler design with smaller blades and lower efficiency compared to newer windmills. New windmills are larger and more advanced, with improved technology and taller towers to capture stronger winds at higher altitudes. Additionally, newer windmills can generate more electricity due to enhanced power conversion systems.

How effective are windmills?

Well.. In the "old days" windmills would provide the energy to power machines for producing clothing, food & farming requirements. Back then, the windmills didn't rely on "the grid" which is the way we get electricity now. It wasn't connected then and the power simply came from the wind blowing the large "fan" in a direction, which then moved a gear connected to the fan connected to a machine. Now the windmills are much more sophisticated and rely on many bases of electricity in some form. This is so we can all have access to it. So back then they were really effective in the principle of being a "windmill" . How are they now? We don't know the answer to that yet because we are not relying on them for anything immediately significant today.


Why are windmills called windmills?

Windmills are called so because they are machines that harness the power of wind to generate energy or perform work. The term "mill" refers to the machine's ability to grind grain or pump water, while "wind" signifies the source of energy used to operate the mill.


Do windmills blow?

No. Windmills have their blades angled in such a way as to catch moving air or wind. When the wind hits the blades it pushes them and they spin, which then gets other gears of the windmill turning, which then generate energy for whatever it is they need that energy to do. So the windmills themselves do not make wind or "blow".

What is the name of the famous holland windmill?

If you mean the Kinderdijk, there are the most windmills in a row. But we have more windmills, they're mostly located in the middle, top and west of the Netherlands, 'cause they were used to suck away the water, so that the land underneath it could be used. The largest windmills (of the world) are located in Schiedam. They are called Schiedamse molens They are so large because they are made out of different layers. If you are speaking of the windmill in Holland, Michigan: the 230 year old DeZwaan windmill is located on windmill island in the city of Holland Michigan.
