I didn't know that windmills was originally from ancient Persia. That's cool 😎. Also, the tulip is from Persia as well. The word tulip is thought to come from the word turban. Even Iran 🇮🇷 has a tulip 🌷 on their flag. Where I used to live mount Vernon, Washington, has tulips every year. A lot of Dutch live there. Even my grandmother was Dutch German. Vrede en Liefde
I really hope he's able to find someone willing to take his place and keep those windmills turning. The fact that they're still operating after a thousand years is astounding.
Remembering the "stories" of "George Washington's Axe" - "It's had three new handles and two new heads, and we change the wedges every time we repair it. And it's still the best axe-murdering tool!" (Not an American - I think the version we get here differs to their squeaky-clean version.). Just eyeballing the mud-brick walls - some of them need a bit of a rebuild. And the woodwork ...
I used to operate a water powered saw mill built in 1827. I thought I was hot stuff. Windmills built a thousand years ago puts me in my place. Much respect and I’m glad you are recovering well.
The Persians are amazing inventors. I live in Dubai and the wind chill towers always fascinate me when I walk past one, or go inside a building with one installed. It's currently hitting 50 degrees C with very high humidity most days, so you can imagine the need. Amazing.
Hey, my northern German grandpa wore wooden clogs all the time even when working in his metal fabrication shop! (Who needs steel-toe boots?) He even carved them himself...apparently it was just something he and his brothers learned when they were kids. He kept on with the idea.
Qanat or kariz which is a system for transporting water from an aquifer or water well to the surface, through an underground aqueduct; was also invented in Iran 3000 years ago.
@@williamFlat Thank you. In the meantime I found the name of Archimedes' system: it is indeed Archimedes screw, and dates back to Hellenistic times, about 400BCE to 300BCE.
This was fascinating! I had no idea the Persians may have invented windmills, let alone there were some still operating after 1,000+ years. You find the coolest stuff! Thank you.
Hej Henrik, growing up l was always told my Dad's family was Dutch but I recently found out it wasn't true. I was told things like "take your shoes off when you come in the house, we're Dutch". Just one example. Many nationalities take their shoes off so I'm not sure why they said it like that.
There are small scale vertical axis turbines on the market. They're about 30% less efficient than similar sized "normal" wind turbines, but are easier to maintain and self regulate in stronger winds.
The Windmills have been working for over a thousand years... Wow!... That is incredible. Klee, I remember long ago you said architectural design was a passion of yours. Ancient Engineering Technologies Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University Of Wisconsin-Madison undergrad Lingkun Chen states "the first windmills were probably invented by a Greek, Tesibius, who lived from 285 to 222 BC". Chen cites a few sources on windmills from Holland including the Tulip Festival! 🌷😅🌷 I'd leave you the Wisconsin University link but TH-cam is stupid about that😁 I'd be interested in seeing various designs of these ancient windmills - Have an awesome week!
Thanks! In Sweden, the island Öland had about 2000 windmills in the beginning of the 1800s. They were mostly of an older type, where they actually turned the whole mill to catch the wind.
When I went to Öland, I learned that they used a lot of those windmills to smooth paving stones for palaces in Europe. They would drag the stones around in circle rubbing against stones until they are smooth. I thought this was fascinating at the time.
When you think about it, sailing boats are the earliest working machines. They advance thanks to windpower, Human action is just streering nad manipulatin the sails.
I've heard about these so had to watch your video. The Persian windmills. I also really want to look more into the Egyptian canals/irrigation. Netherlands? Oh no, I think of: tulips, hash bars, post reformation tolerance, van Gogh, sea works, colonies in the Americas, and the weirdo stuff. Thanks! This got me thinking of the "wind catchers" and forgot what they were called. You saved me a lot of hassles, now I can look them up much easier this weekend!
So, the windmills in the Netherlands are a completely Dutch invention mechanical wise. They however used another ancient Persian/Arabic invention the crankshaft (13th century by Al-Jazari, Irak). The modern crankshaft as used in the windmills from the Netherlands was invented in 1594 by Cornelis Corneliszoon and is what eventually led to the modern crankshaft we find in engines. I was present at the Zaanse Schans when the crankshaft from the sawmill Het Jonge Schaap (the young sheep) was replaced in 2016(there's a few videos here on TH-cam, please look it up if you are interested). This made me fall in love with maintaining and restoring windmills. As you can read I love my Dutch windmills. And thank you Kayleigh for your awesome video! Edit: Well I had some responsibilities to take care of before finishing the video. I'd like to add that a lot of windmills in the Netherlands were burnt down by lightning, many have been rebuilt a couple of times, but in the end most were sadly obsolete and people stopped rebuilding them or just as our castles used them for construction materials. I really hope someone will continue Mohammed's legacy and I now have a new destination for my upcoming vacation. Edit 2: I had to check, but the oldest windmill in the Netherlands was somewhere in the early 1200s (West Flanders, that was part of the Netherlands back then) this is the earliest recorded windmill in the Netherlands, but it's speculated windmills existed before 1100 but there's no consistent record of it. Big chance the idea came with trade along the silk road or possibly the Romans introduced them already back in 300 AD in. This is only concerning using the wind instead of water.
The Romans knew how to use water power to drive rotating machinery. Somewhere around Lyon (sorry, I've not memorised the site name) there is the remains of a 6-grindstone stream-powered mill house, with (IIRC) dough-mixing machines driven off the same stream. To need that amount of bread, daily, it's probably part of a large military barracks or logistics centre.
@@a.karley4672 Do you maybe mean Barbegal? That's the most impressive Roman waterwheel I can think of in France. It's the series of wheelhouses on a slope to mill an incredible amount of grain in one location.
Classic windmills are just beautiful! I had a "klap van de molenwiek" a long time ago. (sorry, this just doesn't translate well ;-) Very interesting vid again, Lady K👍 🌹👋oet Grun', TW.
Now that you've looked into historic windmills, probably time for a follow up of Dutch tidemills. Build a dijk, run it one way as the tide comes in, run it again as the tide goes out.
I’ve seen old drawings of a type of vertical mills that looks a bit like these, used in China. (Anonymous, after a drawing of J. Nieuhoff: Ville de Pau Ing Hyen). I don’t know their details or use, but they were big, and I don’t think they were used only like the Tibetan Buddhist prayer mills. I don’t know if they were in any way related. The early mills in western Europe, are post crusades, and are inspired by the Grecian, like Rhodos and Mykonos, but when they were invented, I don’t know. There are also windmills in Aden.
This was a fascinating video. Thank you for sharing. I had friends that were Dutch. The last names Kielstra, Baker, Van De Graph. The father wore wood clogs. It took me a while before I was able to understand him with his heavy accent. He was very interesting to talk to with his background of growing up in Holland. Many families came to the area shortly after WW II.
You are an awesome speaker, I love the clarity of your voice and how well you explain the topic at hand.Please keep up the good work and I’m looking forward to many more episodes and thank you very much.😊😊😊😊😊
There is a USA company that makes the vertically rotating windmills inside a covering similar to the Persian windmills and they are generally much smaller than the common horizontal rotating windmills. The very large horizontal rotating windmills need to always rotate or the get damaged, so in slow wind they use electricity instead of generating it. The vertically rotating windmills still work during slow wind or no wind. I can see some of the windmills in the Delta Altamont windmill farm from the city I live in, that was started in the early 1970s. At its peak that windmill farm had 20,000 windmills, but now has only about 13,000 because the old small windmills are outlawed in California because they have been shown to kill a rapture once every 10 to 15 years. When the old small fast moving windmills wear out, they are replaced by the large slow moving windmills that don't kill birds of prey.
@@cottonwoodslim3497 Donald Trump is foaming at the mouth as a windfarm is constructed a few miles offshore from his Aberdeen golf course. He's also furious that the council are applying existing "zoning" law to the housing estate which he proposed as the profitable side of the golf course. Being known here as the "Tangerine Shitgibbon", he seems upset at being treated with contempt.
Those kind of shoes where once used throughout Europe. In France, they were called sabot, in northern Italy and parts of Switzerland zoccoli. And of course the German word Holzpantoffel.
Hi Kayleigh! I expect you have been to Zaanse Schans (spelling?). If any of your viewers plan to visit the Netherlands I encourage them to go. It's a sort of "open air" museum where beautiful examples of Dutch buildings have been assembled. There are working windmills you can go inside of. When I was there I also saw a shop where a man demonstrated how to carve wooden shoes. And best of all, there is a place that makes traditional Dutch apple pancakes!
Ive actually never been to the Zaanse Schans, it's too touristy and crowded for my liking. I love going to the Schermer Windmills, they're the reason my part of Holland is dry😊
I lived in the Caribbean. I was told about the Dutch wind men that surveyed St Croix. The project started with hiking around and placing poles with different weight ribbon that blew at different wind speeds to place the mills in the perfect spot. Many ruins from the Dutch West Indies, 1600, on the vi Islands.
hate colonizers but this is a good piece of history. and now I know how to make a simple instrument to measure wind in my wetland so thanks! I won’t have a way to calibrate it (I’m assuming the wind men had some standard they followed) except spending a lot of time with the wind itself, which honestly sounds like a nice way to relax between planting trees and cutting back invasive plants. hopefully the internet will supply me with the basics!
@HistoryWithKayleigh, I come from West Michigan, where a bunch of Dutch settled, hence the city of Holland, not a 20 minute drive from where I grew up, on the coast of Lake Michigan. They have an annual Tulip Festival there, where you can buy bulbs of however many varieties, clogs, of course, and Dutch mariner caps. My late husband looked so cute in his. Most of us around there have Dutch ancestry. Mine is at least via mom's Springsteen line. A widower from Holland emigrated with his three sons to New Jersey, and all three sons had families here. All of us, their descendants, are from that original family, including Bruce! He is either my 7th or 8th cousin, 1ce removed, depending on whether we are from the same brother or not. There is at least one windmill in Holland, MI, but I think it is just a museum, never a mill. You would likely laugh at a lot of the anachronisms in their festival, including the "traditional" dress (from a couple centuries ago!), to clog dancing for entertainment. It happens when tulips are in bloom, if you are interested in checking it out.
0:24 That is one impressive collection of Dutch Clogs you got there! I am also disappointed that the Dutch didn't invent them, why are they then called Dutch Windmills?
So interesting. Live near 2 old windmill remains. 1 part of a hotel the other turned into a house. Hard to believe some lasting a thousand years. Just amazing. Hope you are keeping well
The Dutch East India Trading Company has always been super interesting to me. A private company that became more powerful than many countries. Had their own military essentially.
Now Kayleigh if you were truly Dutch like my wife, you would have been watching the dismal Dutch team lose at the Euros tonight instead of uploading videos. Oranjebom! All kidding aside, what shade of orange is that t-shirt? Doesn't look quite orange enough to support the team. Great video and interesting topic. Keep up the fascinating work.
How about a show on ancient norias, paddle wheels which raise water. I have known about them my whole life, and know they were in use in Egypt by 1000-BCE. But was recently shocked when I proposed one as an alternative to a solar powered pump system, and the biologists I work with had no idea such things exist, and told me we didn’t have time to develop “new devices”.
Well, unless you reproduce an existing specimen exactly, you would have to do a lot of reverse engineering to recreate it. Essentially creating a new one. There are ready-made small mechanical windmills you can purchase today and spend no time on at all.
When the clogs are made by craftsmen fitted for your foot, they are more wearable. Pimped with a bit of leather where the rise of your foot is for comfort.
As an American who has never seen a picture of you wearing wooden shoes or being near a windmill, I did not know you were Dutch (I actually did, you've mentioned it)
I was awed that the persian wind mill was still in use. I hope he gets an apprentice soon. even if no one comes forward it should be operated and taken care of by the state or a historical society. I hope the have plans for its perseverance.
I bought wooden clogs when I visited the Netherlands but I mistakenly bought a half size too small so for me they were uncomfortable. I've regretted buying too small since then. They'd be be real handy when I need to go in our garden to get something.

I fondly remember visiting windmills as a four-year-old in the 1960s. One of my earlier memories.

Dutch used windmills to cut timber for ships cheaply it's part of how they became successful in trade ,
It was sugar mills in the islands.

Well, unless you reproduce an existing specimen exactly, you would have to do a lot of reverse engineering to recreate it. Essentially creating a new one. There are ready-made small mechanical windmills you can purchase today and spend no time on at all.
@@IvoTichelaar Norias are not wind driven. They are water driven. They are just an interesting early mechanical device.
@@randallthomas5207yes I understood, but my point remains.
thank you 4 sharing:)
love from Canada, eh
Astonishing. (hope you are well)
When the clogs are made by craftsmen fitted for your foot, they are more wearable. Pimped with a bit of leather where the rise of your foot is for comfort.
Looking foreward and as always thank you.
Love history!
Excellent vid, as usual.
This is so cool thanks for making this video!
Astonishing to see that the first air conditioning system, qanat, windmills and fridge (yakh-chal) all were invented in Persia.
Incredible!
Thank you for the video.
But Kayleigh! I don’t want to delete you! 😂😂😂😂
Never really thought about wind mills. Great subject!
As an American who has never seen a picture of you wearing wooden shoes or being near a windmill, I did not know you were Dutch (I actually did, you've mentioned it)
I was awed that the persian wind mill was still in use. I hope he gets an apprentice soon. even if no one comes forward it should be operated and taken care of by the state or a historical society. I hope the have plans for its perseverance.
Awesome!
Thank you
A visit to the Netherlands is on my bucket list.
@@jerryjones7293 try our famous ,tulip bulb soup, once you are overhere
We like it! Thank you!
I didn't know you were Dutch, but I knew you were Dutch :D
Thank you for your honesty and informative video
Great video. What are clogs made of Kayleigh? I think the originals were wooden.
Wood always 😊
Hello from Fernley Nevada, USA
Now that's what I like to see! Cool weird old stuff!😊
Very cool information
I bought wooden clogs when I visited the Netherlands but I mistakenly bought a half size too small so for me they were uncomfortable. I've regretted buying too small since then. They'd be be real handy when I need to go in our garden to get something.
Pure genius!
Amazing video once more 👏
Thank you, Kayleigh. ❤❤❤❤
1000 years! and what an elegant building! I really hope this message reaches the next keeper 💜
I definitely liked your video on the wind catchers ...
Been looking forward to this Video, and you didn't disappoint. Wife really likes your blouse with the Owl.
Awesome video! UNESCO should make the site a World Heritage Site.
Incredible historical sites❤
