Windmills have been used as watermills by centuries and most recently as decoration and for generation of electric energy. With great potential for generation of electric power the windmills have became a promissory alternative source of energy, gratuitous, clean and it is being a alternative solution for the energetic crisis. Some countries as Denmark, Japan, Holland and Germany are technologically well advanced in terms of taking control of the winds and transforming the wind kinetic energy in mechanics energy. Building considerable "aeolian farms" either the see either the land with the purpose to supply electric energy diminishing its dependence on the traditional sources of energy. The aeolian energy is also presented as a possible, practicable and ecologically correct alternative for pumping and generation of alternative energy giving an extra life and optimizing the generation potential of a windmill.
