History at a glance, windmills were used to pump water out of wells and ponds before electricity was available. The first windmills were made of wood and stone. In the early 19th century, metal windmills began to replace wooden ones. Steel windmills were invented in 1884 by German engineer Wilhelm von Siemens. They were used to pump water from mines and quarries. Here is an opportunity to bring a little history to your home.
