Answer:
Windmill, device for tapping the energy of the wind by means of sails mounted on a rotating shaft. The sails are mounted at an angle or are given a slight twist so that the force of wind against them is divided into two components, one of which, in the plane of the sails, imparts rotation.
A windmill is a structure used to harness the power of the wind for purposes like grinding grain, pumping water, and generating electricity. The power of the wind was first harnessed by sailors, who were able to understand lift and harness the winds power through sails.
a mill or machine operated by the wind usually acting on oblique vanes or sails that radiate from a horizontal shaft especially : a wind-driven water pump or electric generator. b : the wind-driven wheel of a windmill.
