A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Wind energy has been used purposefully by humans for almost 4,000 years. The focus was often on pumping water, but also on processing food or mechanical engineering. In the middle of the nineteenth century, there were probably 200,000 windmills in Europe (IG Windkraft). However, these were replaced by motors. Wind turbines have been built since the end of the nineteenth century.
