Work all day, for what? In a couple of years there will be an invention to do it in a couple of seconds. Every second someone's imagination works to make life easier. One of the least appreciated technological inventions is the windmill or wind turbine. You may wonder how the windmill affected life as it is today, or if it even affected life at all. To answer this question, you will have to look at the history of windmills. Early sailors were the first to conceptualize the windmill. They were able to imagine what wind energy could do, but they didn't have the resource knowledge to explain the logic or physics behind the windmill, they just had the concept. However, with time, the idea of wind energy evolved to form the windmill. “It's not clear who came up with the idea, but its purpose is to work in everyday life. Remains of windmills have been found in ancient Mesopotamia and Persia (Higgins, p.12).” Windmills were used by early humans. They used it to grind grain which in turn aided in the mass production of food to aid population growth. Before the invention of the windmill this work was done by hand, which was time consuming. Nowadays, wind turbines are used to generate electricity. The design of the windmill has also transformed. Previous designs were called vertical axis. A vertical axis windmill is one that stands vertically with the panels rotating in a horizontal motion. Over time, it transformed into a horizontal axis windmill. A horizontal windmill rises and the panels move in the direction of the wind. Over time, a horizontal axis windmill has proven to be more efficient than vertical axis windmills. The whole windmill idea is not something that has ever been thought of... middle of paper... you should also reroute your home to accommodate the use of the wind turbine so that it stops using fossil fuels and use the energy source. I believe that if we don't move towards unlimited resources we will be trapped forever in the use of oil and gas. “I would put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of energy! I hope we don't have to wait for oil and coal to run out before we tackle this problem,” by Thomas Edison. The journey to renewable resources will be a long one, but it will only happen if everyone works together to achieve this goal. Overall, renewable resources will not come to fruition without major changes in this country. Renewable resources will improve the system used today. The transition to green energy is something that needs to be done in small steps. The long-term goal will be an improvement for the entire planet, because it will lead to better ozone.
