Windmills, which are used in the great plains of Holland and North Germany to supply the want of falling water, afford another instance of the action of velocity. The sails are driven by air in motion - by wind.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The effect of sailing is produced by a judicious arrangement of the sails to the direction of the wind.
Windmills are going to be the death of Scotland and even England if they don't do something about them. They are ruining the countryside.
We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
There isn't a single windmill owner in Holland who doesn't have a second job, for when there is no wind.
I like the look of a windmill.
When the wind blows through a wood, its mass is cut and closed by every leaf, forming a train of jittery vortices in the air.
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
Sailing is such a variable sport. There could be no wind, or there could be 25 knots. You never know what you're going to get.
I was fighting every windmill, especially when I was in college.
It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.
