What are facts about windmills?

Fact 1: Wind power consists of turning energy from the wind to other energy forms. There are different ways to harness it. For example windmills produce mechanical energy, enable sails to move boats and generate electricity. Fact 2: Windmills have been in use since 2000 B.C. and were first developed in Persia and China.

How do you make a paper windmill?
