The landscape with windmills is more familiar to us on the canvases of European masters of painting of the eighteenth-nineteenth century.
Currently, many working windmills can only be seen in the Netherlands. True, they do not grind flour at all, although there are some. They pump water from one canal to another. How was the windmill built? You can only see this in the B altic States and the Netherlands themselves. The first thing to do to make it work well is to catch the wind. To do this, its roof was turned in the right direction with the help of a special wheel and lever. The wheel was just connected to the roof. When the roof reached the required position, the wheel was stopped with a special chain. Then a special brake was released, and the wings of the mill began to rotate, slowly at first, and then faster and faster. The shaft on which the wings were attached transmitted rotation to the main vertical axis through wooden gears.
Application.
Further, the device of the windmill could be different. With its help, water was pumped out, oil was squeezed out of seeds, and even made with it.with the help of paper and sawed wood, and, of course, ground flour. The flour mill did its job with the same stone millstones. With the advent of steam and other types of engines, it can be said to have lost its significance for industry. But in our time, when people are learning to save energy and nature, the windmill has been revived in a different capacity, as a cheap and environmentally friendly source of electricity. Hundreds of windmills, her great-grandchildren, operate in Holland, the Netherlands and Germany. In the US, Canada and Australia, remote farms are successfully using wind turbines to generate electricity for their homes and businesses.
Decorative element. Its construction.
Today, the windmill has gained popularity as a decorative element of homesteading. Make it easy. Such a mill, assembled with your own hands near a country house or cottage, will decorate any corner of the garden. Work begins with the manufacture of the foundation. A hole is dug to a depth of 70 cm, and a brick foundation is laid. From metal corners 50x50, a frame is welded in dimensions 80x120x270. The frame is sheathed with timber 40x40. It is possible to sheathe the construction on top with clapboard. The frame is installed on the foundation. The wood is coated on top with a protective impregnation in several layers. From the inside, the body is insulated with foam and plywood. Next up is the roof. A continuous crate is laid on the roof rafters, which is then covered with roofing material in two layers. Roofing material is laid on the roofing material. Then the mechanism is assembled. Picked up andan axle and two bearings are installed. The blades are assembled from wooden planks with a section of 20x40mm, which are fastened with self-tapping screws. The blades are mounted on the axle. The upper part of the foundation is also sheathed with timber. The interior space can be used to store, for example, garden tools. Thus, a windmill is also a necessary outbuilding.
