How many watts could a windmill generate?
Hypothetically, if i were to hook up an old timey flour windmill to a generator, how much power could i produce with its rotation?
It has to be very high above ground and it’s impractical if you don’t have a good site. Put in solar panels instead.
I know. Its straight up dumb, just by looking at how slow those things spin in movies one can already assume that it makes for a terrible wind turbine. I just wanted to know how much wattage would it hypothetically generate because i got randomly curious about it.
