About this product

Product Information

Since the inception of windpower around 1000 AD, technology has been deployed to obtain the most economical power from wind. The author traces its technical evolution, concentrating on the growth in understanding of wind and charting crucial developments in windmill design. The history of the windmill focuses on North Western Europe, but Hills indicates the origins of the first horizontal windmills in Persia, Tibet and China. He also examines industrial applications such as in textiles, papermaking and mining. The book concludes with a look at the recent reemergence of windpower as a viable source of power in the wake of the energy crisis.

    Accurate title - defines the content.

    Very informative volume, deals with technical and historical aspects and social interest; I purchased this in case I ever need ( to build and / or maintain) a windmill, and I consider this a very good all-in-one book for the necessary information.
