A sail is a component of a [[windmill]] used to harness wind and convert it into [[Mechanical Power]]. This power is then used to automate a number of mechanical processes including grinding, pulverizing and hammering. | A sail is a component of a [[windmill]] used to harness wind and convert it into [[Mechanical Power]].

Sails are constructed in sets with one set having four sails (one sail for each windmill blade). | Sails are constructed in sets with one set having four sails (one sail for each windmill blade). | ||

Sails are attached directly to the rotor. See [[Windmill]] for assembly. Each set of sails will increase the power output by 25% and require one full block clearance (per set). '''If the sails do not have space to move freely, they will break and fall to the ground below.''' | ==Assembly== | ||

==Need for large amount of flax fiber== | |||
Sets of sails require a large amount of flax fiber. One set of sails requires 64 flax fibers (4 fibers x 4 twine x 4 linen) and to put the maximum of five sets of sails on a windmill, 320 flax fibers would be needed. Collecting and growing [[Flax]] as early as possible will help minimize the delay in getting to mechanized power. | Sets of sails require a large amount of flax fiber.
