Tamriel Rebuilt

Idea: Tools and industry. Primitive or not so primitive tools for food, mining, infrastrucure, (ship)building, etc...

Lutemoth, I like truly like your mill(and your other work), but I have a few suggestions: Those sails/blades need a more vertical angel, otherwise it would not work. I've got an idea how this should work. You could place it in a canyon with mainly two wind directions(example:East and West). You have...

Indeed... I should have known. :/ I'm not omnipotent. At least this is what I found about them: "...Entirely on the same lines we find that the most primitive windmills, as we know them from the region of the Near East and around the Mediterranean, had sails which were short and bulging. Later ...

Yeah... hmmhmm... I haven't got a picture. There used to be wooden mills that drifted on water. Cheap way to build, but never succesfull. an other one: [url]http://www.heemkunde.nl/berghsekernen/zeddam/torenmolen/images/blz%2027.jpg[/url] This used to be a much more inefficient form, it is more then...

I do sound a litle bit arrogant for a lurker, that was not my intention. I try to help, but I can't help sounding like Deity. :/

I could go into more detail. Please, ask if more info is needed.

The first is only to be used mountain...

I'm just a lurker, but I like help you guys in making realistic(functional) windmills. But I like to talk about windmills. I've seen a few and worry about designs I see. If I had a scanner I would post my concepts. A few links to pictures will do I think. I hope to improve your already nice looking ...

the same type as your top picture `standard` windmill only more primitive and with `skirt`...

Well... I´m a miller and I could go in technical detail :P If you can´t attach the blades to a fixed point, it is wise to give it an mechanical air breaking system. Like so... [url]http://northcountryguide.com/tourism/attractions/windmill/ [/url] Ow... and never mind what I said here it´s m...
