Windmills



In my opinion, I think getting energy from the wind is a pretty fascinating idea. It does not destroy any nature on Earth such as releasing toxic fumes, burning down trees, or using any dangerous chemicals which can lead to danger (nuclear power plant). The "wisndwheel"was invented by the greek engineer Heron of Alexandria in the 1st Century AD. It was the first ever type of windmill. A wheel would spin which is powered by wind to power a machine. The wind turbine was a windmill designed to generate electricity (see the picture above). The Wind Turbine was built by Professor James Blyth (Scotland), Charles F. Brush, and Poul la Cour (Denmark).
