- Dutch Windmill Inside.
Nearly everyone in the world knows the famous Dutch Windmills.
But very few of you have seen them inside.
In this video master miller Fred Prins shows his polder mill and demonstrates the sytem inside that keeps the feet dry of many Dutch.
Once a year it is 'Mills Day' (‘Molendag’). Many mills are open to the public that day. But there are also various mills to visit throughout the year.
You can check it out on Holland Holiday.net.
The page of this video shows you all the possibilities.
Enjoy this video!

Marvellous engineering. The Dutch are ingenious innovators.
Thank you Shahruq!
I didnt know you could live in the windmill. The engineering is amazing!
Hi Jayme. You can't live in every mill. This is also a special mill, but it is not suitable for habitation: th-cam.com/video/p-KnrwVfODA/w-d-xo.html
This is absolutely fascinating! We can't make a car that lasts more than 10 years today without rusting out, but these windmills have been operating for centuries!
Thank you for your nice comment!
Windmill inside view is amazing, thanks for sharing excellent video and useful comments 🙏
Thank you Shanthi Shanthi!
Yes - thank you very much, Fred! What a lovely man. So good to take such real pride in your work. Nicely narrated, too!
Thank you, Sara C!
Fascinating. There is some serious carpentry skills involved in making one of those what with the wooden gears and all. I became curious about these after watching the movie Sleepy Hollow with Johhny Depp in which the interior of a windmill is shown toward the end of the movie.
I had the same experiance watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang years ago. Fascinating.

i dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Xavier Jared thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Xavier Jared it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account!
Elegant Dutch ingenuity 🇨🇦
Amazing, how the man get benefits from the natural forces for his well being without harming the nature.
Salute to the brains that thought of sustainable development, and also thanks to them.👌👍😇
Windmills are beautiful 😍 ❤
This was so helpful. We were reading “The Winged Watchman” and this video gave us so much more information.
I really want to live and stay that kind of place forever, clean air, great atmosphere, and peaceful place,
I just can not tell you my opinion of these Beautiful windmills and the inside of them. Fantastic! Love the Beauty of them!
That looks like a great life to live right there. And no commute time to work!
such a lovingly made little documentary. thank you all.
after seeing this i want to construct a windmill in my farm. thanks for uploading this.
Maybe these videos will give you some extra information: th-cam.com/video/p-KnrwVfODA/w-d-xo.html, or: th-cam.com/video/97l8FiRCfTs/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for recording and posting this educational video.

Thank you for your nice comment!
Thank you I needed to know what a windmill did for this project I'm doing
Excellent Windmill and video.. thank you..
So cool, I want a windmill!!! LOL I love it, Fred is living life.
I AGREE WATCHGUY79 YAAAAAA
My brother Paul and I are part Dutch on our mom's side of the family.
Seems all North Americans have a hankering to not be North American. Why is that? You invent a history that isn't yours, sure your forebears came in as immigrants, but you are a North American, not Dutch.
Everything dutch is beautiful. Even the accent.
;-))
Great video! Best produced windmill video!
Thank you Fred!
Those windmills are so beautiful ❤😮🎉
Thank you. This is great!
I really enjoyed this video, thank you.
Thank you!
Love this old technology.👍😍
there's so coool for my history classes
Thanks for those amazing Engineers who made the modern world
Awesome video in so many ways!
Simple engineering.. love it
Some skill went into making those wooden gearwheels.
Keeps him fit !
Wow! I want to live in a windmill! I can watch those gears turn all day lol
What a beautiful windmill and operation. Really enjoyed seeing this video, thank you.
Thanks! You might like this one too: th-cam.com/video/p-KnrwVfODA/w-d-xo.html
Geweldig en mooi.
Cool 🎉🎉
Amazing!
Baie mooi. Goeie mense. 👍
Too cool!
Long live Holand and her people.
Wow ingenious contraption.
My brother Paul and I are part Dutch on our mom's side of the family. Hello from Tyler Texas U.S.A.
Hi Paula, hi Paul! Thanks for your message and greetings from the Netherlands!
Willed danke!! Das ist fantastische!!)))
That is 500 years old..? I wonder about how often the wooden parts (meaning everything) needs to be changed..
The straw roofing is not original :-). Neither the wings. The "frame" of the mill is original. All the wood inside: eight oaks in the eight corners and eight horizontal wooden beams are original. These eight trees felled between 1525 and 1527. The paddle wheel of the mill has been changed in 1842 with a mortar.
Have a nice day, Fred Prins, miller
@@FredPrins Thank you on the knowledge! How is the wood protected from rotting away? I thought that wood would rot away with time and that's why I assumed that the wooden parts are changed from time to time.
@@Gandeloft The wood of oaks are very resistent and the wood was inside the mill, so protected against wind and rain.
And . . . the wood in the mill is ages penetrated by the smoke of the coal stoves (or before wood stoves) . There was no chimney (or you can say the chimney was (ended) in the mill). Now the wood is hard like stone.
@@Gandeloft One of the other videos I watched explained that the chimney for the fireplace ends up near the timbers, so that keeps them dry and keeps the bugs out.
Wow, I had no idea the cap could be rotated!
Nice construction sir
Just imagine, this technology could have been used this technology to develop toilets and showers in the 1500s. They just couldn't imagine it these things.
That one action would have permanently changed public health and improved survival.
ingenious
Dope
Anyone know how I can get in touch with Fred? My son is OBSESSED with windmills and LOVES watching Fred operate the windmill. I would love to write him a letter or send him an email.
Hi Allison, you can find his email adress on this website: www.groenveld-dorp.nl. I will also mail your request to Fred Prins.
wow I love windmill!
nanood ako Neto kase gagawa ako sa Minecraft sa survival.
oh diba challenging!?😍♥️🇵🇭
Please show us how do you start the wind mill from zero motion.
Anyone know where I could find full blueprints to construct one of these? I know this is a monstrous task, however I am down for the challenge.
Something like this? www.molens.nl/product/modelbouwtekening-achtkante-poldermolen/
@@hollandholiday4181 Yes, that will work. Thank you!
@@bumpybumpybumpybumpy how much do you think the materials will cost you to build that windmill?
I had to watch this for school
I can't believe how fast it turns, that's amazing. Must get a real rumble up inside.
I'd like to know what sort of bearings hold the drive and centre shaft.
Inside the mill it's very quiet.
The rotating shaft of de mill (with the wings) lays in two hollowed bluestones. The vertical shaft which brings the movement down has an iron pin. This iron pin stands in a steel container filled with salad oil.
@@FredPrins Thank you for the reply, that's very interesting.
❤❤❤
In the last shot you see the windmill spinning,but the sails does not cover the wicks.
Sorry for the slow response! When there is enough wind, the blades turn without a sail.
My inner dutchie wants to build one now just because
I wonder if there is any lubricant like bees wax or beef lard used on the teeth of the wooden cogwheels, and also I wonder about the main bearings that support the vertical shaft.
For the teeth of the wooden cogwheels we use bees wax. We use pork lard for the horizontal axis of the wings. The vertical shaft has a iron pin in a oil tray.
I like the narator accent
I wonder how exactly they bent the rails into a full circle.
03:21 The big what wheel?
I have been inside one in the netjrt9
I’d like to hear the sound level from inside the mill while turning.
Hi Chris! The miller gave me a video with the sound inside the mill, but it is not possible to sent it with YT.
Если бы история не поменяла направление и не отказалась от самого первого ветродвигателя приложив ещё немного инженерной мысли, то мы бы увидели совсем другие ветряки и водяные мельницы. th-cam.com/video/Md5sqdAv6Vg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sTYMVv5ZziATWhrD
I wonder how many people have been punted by one of those blades?
Haha! I can just imagine a Dutch expression along the lines of "uhh...he stands under windmills too much"
@@ralphm4132"Hij heeft een klap van de molen gehad/heb je een klap van de molen gehad" which translates to "he's been smacked by the windmill/have you been smacked by the windmill". Used when someone is acting crazy or excessively dumb.
he surely doesn't need gym subscription
You didn't credit Rolf ten Hulsen for the footage. Also quite some information is incorrect.
We look forward to your comments!
Holland Holiday Thank you for getting in touch! Here are some issues I found:
1:13 the mill shown in the picture isn’t comparable to the first polder mills. The shown mill is a smock mill with a tail, which only started to come around by the beginning of the 17th century. The first polder mills were “wipmolens”, which design has been derived from post mills.
2:38 the footage is mirrored. Please don’t do that, it grinds my gears and it might lead people who don’t know better to think that that’s how it’s supposed to go.
2:51 it’s called a scoop wheel.
3:02 the level up to which an Archimedes Screw can pump water is limited by the rather small amount of power a windmill develops, but mostly by the length of the screw: the maximum is about 5 meters, after which it starts to bend and thus starts scraping the floor beneath it. This means that the screw (which is quite fragile) will be damaged and starts leaking.
6:14 you don’t take the sails off just to turn the cap. All you do is take the brake off.
I suggest also putting a link up to the website en.molendatabase.nl . This website contains a lot of information on all existing windmills in the Netherlands, and you can look for mills with certain specifications or look at mills near you on provincial maps.
@@gwyneddboom2579 I have forwarded your comments to master miller Fred Prins, the miller on the video.
Since his (and my) english is not strong in this area, I translated it with Google translate:
My English may not be good, but I don't understand most of it; Google translate cannot make meaningful text from a part.
A justified remark from him is that if you make a mortar too long it will bend.
That is hypothetical, there was no need for jacks of more than 5 meters. What has been the case in the past is that paddle wheels can hardly raise higher than 1.2 meters. Otherwise the paddlewheel will have a size that can no longer be accommodated in a mill.
So a three-pass (three mills in a row) came to 3.6 meters head and there have been some four-passes (one of which still exists), which could thus boost 4.8 meters.
With the switch from paddle wheel to mortar, the polder board saved a lot in maintenance of windmills, but especially in the wages of all those millers.
I have not recently watched the film, but if it mentions that the mortar has no limitation in length, then that is intended in that context.
It is therefore not correct that these mills were only built from the beginning of the 17th century.
The Groenvelder from 1529 is now the oldest octagon, but certainly not the first. There are maps from before 1500, on which eight sides are drawn.
He can look up the Groenvelder in the English-language database, which he recommends.
Well, and what does he mean by 'you don't take the sails off just to turn the cap'?
or with 'the footage is mirrored. Please don't do that, it grinds my gears'?
Holland Holiday I only have some responses to the last part of his answer: I was referring to octagonal mills with a tail, which de Groenvelder doesn’t have. And to clarify the things he didn’t quite understand: he will know that you can stop the mill without clamping the sails in order to turn the cap. And I really do not like it when people show (moving) images of a mill mirrored.
@@gwyneddboom2579 Enough.
és mi forgatya?
Drainig water from the polder to the sea…
now hook it up to a alternator i wonder what it makes xD
Fred is 75 at least in this video. Is Fred still alive? If he is dead who replaced him? In all of the Netherlands how many people over the age of 75 are operating windmills? what is the Netherlands plan to replace them after they die so the windmill tradition is not lost.
Very nice video, but we could definitely do WITHOUT THE MUSIC. its annoying.
Meant netherlands
What did the windmill say to the pop star?

would have loved to hear what the mill sounded like without the loud music but ok...
great content but the overwhelming music in the background is a major bad thing

TOM PIPPS FOAM- BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA USA HI HELLO &
don't trip in that living room!
9000 windmills for grinding grain? Fast forward to 21 CENTURY and humans can't harness enough ELECTRICITY?😮😅😅😢
Great video, worst bed music ever.
Yeah
the gawdy loud music is not a benifit to this site, to loud
First! (Eerste!)
GREAT video, GREAT orchestral music HORRIBLE ROCK GUITAR MUSIC...what a waste.......
The cheesy rock music spoils the video
