Official Question Material
Prep: 30-40 Seconds
This popularity was driven by the simplicity of windmills as mechanical energy generators. By simply putting a windmill with many vanes up, you could quickly garner access to a free mechanical energy source. Through the spinning of the blades, that rotational energy could be used to drive machines through gearing or used to push and pull water from the ground with simple water sucker rod pumps.
