We have been using the energy of the wind for thousands of years. There were boats propelled by wind sailing along the Nile River in 5000 B.C. By 200 B.C., there were simple windmills in China pumping water. At the same time Persian were using vertical-axis windmills with woven reed sails to grind grain.
People continued to find [...]
