风车, 风力磨坊
a large, tall building with long blades, called sails, that uses wind power to make flour out of grain or pump water
A windmill is a structure with large blades that rotate when the wind blows. It is traditionally used to convert wind energy into mechanical power, often for tasks like grinding grain, pumping water, or generating electricity. Windmills are usually found in areas with consistent wind and have been used for centuries to help with agricultural and industrial tasks. The blades, also called sails, catch the wind, causing the mill to turn and power the machine. Modern windmills, or wind turbines, are used to produce renewable energy.
