Welcome, Engineering Lover! In today's video, we're going to explore two machines that played a key role in the development of mankind, harnessing the power of the wind as a source of movement: windmills and wind turbines. Have you ever wondered what is the difference between these two technologies?
Before we begin, I would like to ask for your help. Many people watch our videos but don't subscribe to the channel. If you're here watching, it's because the topic piqued your interest.

Now, let's enter the fascinating world of windmills. These incredible reed machines have been around for over 1,000 years, having appeared in Persia around 800 AD. Initially, windmills were used to grind grain, but they were eventually adapted to pump water to cities and homes.
On the other hand, wind turbines are a more recent invention, dating back to approximately 1888, when the first known wind turbine was developed in the United States, with the aim of generating electricity. Since then, wind turbines have evolved to become one of the main sources of renewable energy worldwide.
But how exactly do windmills and wind turbines work? In this video, we'll explore the functional differences between these technologies. Windmills, with their blades close to the ground, take advantage of lower air currents to turn and thus produce mechanical work. On the other hand, wind turbines, which reach hundreds of meters above the ground, use generators to convert the rotational energy of the blades into electricity.
In addition, we will discuss the efficiency of these two technologies. Although wind turbines are widely used in electricity generation, they are not as efficient as windmills due to the Betz limitation, which sets a 59% efficiency limit for wind turbines. However, wind turbines play a crucial role in the transition to a cleaner energy matrix, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and contributing to lower carbon emissions.
Throughout the video, we will explore the history, functioning and applications of these two technologies, and how they have evolved to meet the energy demands of the modern world.
Enjoy this dive into engineering and wind power! If you've ever had the opportunity to see a wind turbine or windmill, share your experience in the comments. We would love to hear your opinion!
