Abstract

The results of tests made on a windmill installed near an anemograph at Poona are incorporated in this note. It gives the hourly output of the mill month by month together with the wind velocity at Poona. The characteristic curve for the power output has been prepared and the ratio of the sail-tip velocity to wind velocity indicated. After considering (In. theoretical basis the maximum amount of air 'energy that is likely to be absorbed by the mill-wheel, the author compares with it the actual work done by the mill and indicates its efficiency. The factors that contribute substantially to the power output of a windmill have been discussed at length.
