Windmills are mechanical devices that harness wind energy to perform work. Historically, they were primarily used for grinding grain and pumping water, playing a crucial role in agriculture and rural development. Modern windmills, often referred to as wind turbines, are sophisticated machines designed to convert wind's kinetic energy into electrical power. They are characterized by their large rotor blades that spin when exposed to wind, driving a generator to produce electricity, and are a key component in renewable energy generation.
Documentation for windmills and wind turbines typically includes comprehensive operation and maintenance manuals, detailed repair guides, and technical specification sheets. These...
