Building a Gingerbread Windmill in the Kitchen
A young baker wearing a traditional chef's hat works in a well-lit kitchen area while assembling a decorative gingerbread windmill on the counter.
The Mechanics of Traditional Windmills
Windmills historically used large rotating sails turned by natural wind currents to drive heavy millstones for grinding grains into fine flour. Builders carefully aligned the sails toward incoming gusts to capture maximum kinetic energy throughout the changing seasons.
