This is the next addition to my medieval town (project in progress); A windmill.
The base is octagonal, as is the main body. The top can turn 360 degrees, so it
can be turned in and out of the wind. in absence of wind, it is powered by a
micromotor :) , speed of the blades is therefore relatively realistic.
Here is a pic, click on it to go to my brickshelf folder:
It will be on display at this weekends’ Marcon show (post about that will
follow).
Comments welcome,
Paul

| (...) I like the rounded top. As I said on the COLTC list I have concerns about the long term durability of the MicroMoter due to torque loading, but hey, if it works it works. I didn't see how this mill determines which way to face, though... (20 years ago, 30-May-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
