About it

A windmill uses the wind to do work. The wind turns its big sails, and gears inside turn that into the turning of heavy millstones, which grind grain into flour; some windmills pump water instead. In the Netherlands, windmills pumped water out of low land for hundreds of years, so that people could live and farm there.

Its sails always turn in the breeze. Tap it for a gust of wind that spins the sails up hard for three extra turns, then they slow back to their steady pace.
