15 days agoI know. Its straight up dumb, just by looking at how slow those things spin in movies one can already assume that it makes for a terrible wind turbine. I just wanted to know how much wattage would it hypothetically generate because i got randomly curious about it.

Oh… really? I though it was going to be WAY less than that, being honest. i mean, they weren’t exactly made for that, plus, they look wildly different from modern wind turbines, and so far, i haven’t heard any news of old flour windmills being repurpose for that.
