energy by means of vanes called sails or blades. The history of wind power shows a
general evolution from the use of simple, light devices driven by aerodynamic drag
forces; to heavy, material-intensive drag devices; to the increased use of light, materialefficient
aerodynamic lift devices in the modern era. Modern wind turbines fall into two
basic groups 1) horizontal-axis variety 2) vertical-axis design. There are certain
advantages and disadvantages of Windmills Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Vijayanta Vasantrao Pawar and S. C. Shilwant, (2012). Windmill: The New Era Of Energy.
