A windmill is a mill with sails or vanes
that, by the action of wind upon them, drive
machinery for grinding corn or pumping water.
Wind turbines, designed to use wind power on
a large scale, usually have a propeller-type
rotor mounted on a tall shell tower. The
turbine drives a generator for producing
electricity.
