Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes windmills' efficiency and economic use in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a time when wind power was gaining traction in the absence of affordable electricity and reliable internal combustion engines. The author, an engineer, leans on extensive testing of numerous windmills to contribute practical insights to how power could be most effectively harvested from the wind. Questions of load, lift, sail shape, materials, and other factors are explored in detail. The book stands as a valuable resource for those interested in understanding how windmills functioned in the past, during the early years of wind power's development.
