Background/History on the Wind Power Industry The wind power industry first developed in Iran around 200 B.C. The first windmills were vertical axis wind turbines‚ which were used for pumping water and grinding whole grains for food consumption. The Chinese‚ Romans and Afghans all used windmills around this time for similar use. In the 13th century Holland started developing large horizontal axis windmills. These four-blade windmills were larger‚ carried more torque and wind speed and could do
