The Old Windmill in Nashtifan

- The windmills in Nashtifan, Iran are believed as the earliest windmill design in the world, and have been used for centuries. Those windmills are characterized by the vertical wooden blades and the horizontal rotation. In addition, the place is also famous for the wind that blows 120 days in a year across the region, and supplies the required energy to run the windmills.

These windmills are 1000 years old. And been recognized as national heritage by Iranian authorities recently.
It should be preserved and funded, it is a miracle!
Not really a miracle 😄 by the same logic literally everything else is too
Yep, that old guys is the last, his children are not interested in preserving the history
What an amazing building! It should get the status of a world heritage to get resources for keeping it alive. The wind must be really strong there.
It must have taken a lot of effort to get the timbers there and build the compacted earth structure. It deserves a protected status.
Pretty sure that I just read it's a UNESCO heritage site🤘
Applaud that man..
We need to keep the old ways alive for future generations. New technology is wonderful but looking back and so much history has been lost many things done then we no longer know how it was done or even works. At least if something did happen they would have a means of still processing grain. The cost is mainly labor and maintenance. In a world that now glorifies high tech I admire low tech more
Sandra Keener new technology is not wonderful. It is disastrous for environment and people.
@@TH-camVivek Who is Sandra keener? What is that new technology? Please tell me.
It is sad that the kids do not respect the wisdom of elders. I am amazed by this ancient technology.
what do u expect them to do? stay in the same place and do the same things that their ancestors did just for the sake of tradition? I'm all for preserving ancient cultures and artefacts, but that's the job of museums and governments.
The elders must respect the wisdom of the ancestors.
I wonder if these would also work in the American southwest? What an incredible design! This design could change the world!
It’s amazing! These are old machines and they are being left to the ages to be destroyed...
Brilliant film. Those kids need to get involved in running that mill!
The kids should not be obligated to be involved in something just because they were born within proximity of it. Nobody should be a slave to history.
Gorgeous and ingenious. If we can all ignore the lunatic politicians destroying our nations, we the people around the world can get along just fine. It bums me out that there is a high likelihood I will never visit these windmills, though I very much would like to.
Iran welcomes westerns but the west doesn't want you to visit there 😂
Thanks
thank you for this wonderful video of history.
Thank you for sharing♥️
This is so cool, and sad to watch! Thanks for sharing, this is in amazing!
wow
This is awesome
I was hoping that there'd be more detail on the particular design and how it compared to modern turbines.
A great Man to care for the monuments of the vorfahters ...and a stupid young generation...
the villagers should sell wheat made from this, as a healthy alternative.
Alternative to what? There not living off of processing of foods. They get there grain from eastern eruope.
@@joshualogan3428 alternative to crappy eastern European wheat.
Super
Great persia empire
I like the operation very much. Dont get me wrong however when i say that i dont understand how the blades capture power since theres no difference in shape on either side of the vertical axis. If the wind pushes a blade on the left for example, it also pushes the same against the right side thus cancelling the capture of power. Look at any other vawt to see theres an assymetry of some sort allowing wind to exert more pressure on one side than the other, usually in the shape of the blades.
I'm not an expert, but I think that the walls around are "channeling" the wind on the rotor.
G'day,
It's apparently as Ivan says, in that each VAWT is indeed symetrical, but the Wind only comes from one direction, and on that side one end of an L-Shaped Wall shields the "Advancing" half of the Rotor from the Wind, while effectively increasing the high-pressure Area upwind of that Shield...., feeding Wind tothe Rotor's other half, and meanwhile the "Tail of the L" serves as a "Race" to smooth the flow of Air going through the Gap, feeding the adjacent Rotor.
Allowing for the Materials - riven Timber, sawn Timber, Stone, Wattle & Daub ; it's a very highly efficient Battery of Vertical Axis Windmills.
I LIKE it !
Have a good one.
;-p
Ciao !
"U" think the Dutch windmill is oldest and they invented it.
Oh, No Sir ! I don't think sooo.
age of empires II
No good my country.
Health Work and Safety people would shut it down a flash
And our government would stop you from using it because your getting power for free.

Convert the mills to generate electricity.
Why do they not convert these to producing electricity for the town??
Not enough power and unreliable output ...
Might be good enough to charge a car battery if the wind blows all day....
It takes a lot of energy to power a home.
@@charliepearce8767 You don't produce electricity from a wind turbine to power a home, you trickle charge large battery storage to power homes.

I lived in outback Australian using solar panels and a very large battery bank with back diesel, petrol generators for over 15 years, I know what I'm talking about.
