Windmill

A windmill is a machine operated by the force of wind acting on vanes or sails to mill grain. Windmills were used throughout the high medieval and early modern periods; the horizontal or panemone windmill first appeared in Persia during the 9th century, and the vertical windmill first appeared in northwestern Europe in the 12th century.
