Hello Matthias,

On Friday May 14 2021 11:40, you wrote to me:

MH> These are turbines, not mills. Nothing milled there.

From Wikipedia:

A windmill is a structure that converts wind power into rotational energy by means of vanes called sails or blades, specifically to mill grain (gristmills), but the term is also extended to windpumps, wind turbines and other applications

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windmill

From the 1959 shorter Oxford:

Windmill: A mill,the machinery of which is driven by the wind acting on sails used ( chiefly in flat districts) for grinding corn, pumping water etc.

Perhaps we should ask a native speaker of the Queen's English. David?

In fact before the invention of the steam engine, most classic windmills in The Netherlands were use to pump water, not to grind corn. The famous Kinderdijk windmills are water punps, not corn grinders: https://www.kinderdijk.nl/

The Dutch verb "malen" (which I suspect is the mother of the English verb to mill) is used for pumping water as well. The later installations for pumping water, driven by steam, diesel or electricity are called "gemaal". And "windmolen" is used for anything extracting rotational energy from the wind.

Cheers, Michiel
