History ''Ybemas molen'' was built in 1899. It worked by wind until 1951 but was derelict by 1955 when it was restored by carpenter F de Groot of Ferwoude, Friesland at a cost of ƒ4,130.38. In August 1963, the mill was bought by the Gemeente Nijefurd for ƒ1. Further restorations were carried out in 1969 and 1981. In 1986, the mill was sold to the Molenstichting Nijefurd. By 1995, the Archimedes' screw had been removed. In 2006, the mill was fully restored. A new cast iron windshaft was fitted, replacing the previous wooden one. A new Archimedes screw was fitted and the mill made workable again. The mill was designated by Wetterskip Fryslân as being held in reserve. A sail broke on 27 November 2011. A replacement pair of sails was fitted in November 2012. The mill is listed as a Rijksmonument, №39517. De ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Windpump A windpump is a type of windmill which is used for pumping water. Windpumps were used to pump water since at least the 9th century in what is now Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. The use of wind pumps became widespread across the Muslim world and later spread to China and Indian subcontinent, India. Windmills were later used extensively in Europe, particularly in the Netherlands and the East Anglia area of Great Britain, from the late Middle Ages onwards, to drain land for agricultural or building purposes. Simon Stevin's work in the ''waterstaet'' involved improvements to the sluices and spillways to control flooding. Windmills were already in use to pump the water out, but in ''Van de Molens'' (''On mills''), he suggested improvements, including the idea that the wheels should move slowly, and a better system for meshing of the gear teeth. These improvements increased the efficiency of the windmills used to pump water out of the polders by three times. He received a patent on h ...

picture info	Agricultural Buildings In The Netherlands Agriculture or farming is the practice of cultivating plants and livestock. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that enabled people to live in cities. The history of agriculture began thousands of years ago. After gathering wild grains beginning at least 105,000 years ago, nascent farmers began to plant them around 11,500 years ago. Sheep, goats, pigs and cattle were domesticated over 10,000 years ago. Plants were independently cultivated in at least 11 regions of the world. Industrial agriculture based on large-scale monoculture in the twentieth century came to dominate agricultural output, though about 2 billion people still depended on subsistence agriculture. The major agricultural products can be broadly grouped into foods, fibers, fuels, and raw materials (such as rubber). Food classes include cereals ( grains), vegetables, fruits, cooking oils, meat, mil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Windmills Completed In 1899 A windmill is a structure that converts wind power into rotational energy using vanes called sails or blades, specifically to mill grain (gristmills), but the term is also extended to windpumps, wind turbines, and other applications, in some parts of the English speaking world. The term wind engine is sometimes used to describe such devices. Windmills were used throughout the high medieval and early modern periods; the horizontal or panemone windmill first appeared in Persia during the 9th century, and the vertical windmill first appeared in northwestern Europe in the 12th century. Regarded as an icon of Dutch culture, there are approximately 1,000 windmills in the Netherlands today. Forerunners Wind-powered machines may have been known earlier, but there is no clear evidence of windmills before the 9th century. Hero of Alexandria (Heron) in first-century Roman Egypt described what appears to be a wind-driven wheel to power a machine.Dietrich Lohrmann, "Von der östlichen z ...
