    Default Anyone ever see a dutchl windmill?

    Man, I want to visit one. It's really interesting, to check this out, see the ingenuity behind this. Here is an interesting video on a mill worker in Sussex England....never mind those windmills you see today for power generation. These go back to the 1600's.

    Fly over to Holland. Or if you prefer a shorter trip, vist the ABC islands aka Aruba Bonaire Curacao

    They've got some in the U.S like in New England dating back to Puritan times. I'd like to definitely tour one of these, like a saw or flour mill.

    If you really mean a Dutch windmill then you obviously need to go to the Netherlands
    however if you really mean a traditional sail powered windmill then perhap you should look here ..

    Oh yea. I saw those coming down from Yucca Valley sometime in April of this year. I couldn't believe how many wind generators there were. Great location, lots of wind from the mountains nearby.

    Good site. I see most of those are in ENGLAND. But Dutch windmills use sails too.
