	~~- A Windmill will produce on average 250 EU per Minecraft day multiplied by its height in the world.~~
	This number varies '''greatly''' due to the highly unpredictable and constantly changing wind strength in the world; this number can be anything from 0 to 500 EU. (Although numbers far below 150 or far above 320 are uncommon)

	~~- A Windmill's efficiency can be hindered by any kind of block placed in a 9x9x7 area around it.~~

	~~It's best to have the cable from the Windmill underneath it and down at least two blocks before turning.~~


	~~- For each obstructing block, a Windmill's effective height lowers by 1.~~

	~~- A Windmill treats non-block items like torches and Redstone wires as obstructions too.~~

	~~- A Windmill doesn't treat the roof of the world as an obstruction.~~

	~~Examples:~~

	~~A Windmill placed as high as possible (layer 127), with no obstructions (apart from the 2 cable blocks under the windmill) will produce roughly 31250 EU (250 * 125) a day or 1.3 EU/s overall.~~

	~~A Windmill that was placed near bedrock (layer 10) with no obstructions (not including the cable again) produced 2000 EU (250 * 8) a day (0.1 EU/s overall).~~

	~~As well, you can create these nifty '''daylight-independent''' ''Windmills'' for an all-over-the-day constant energy supply.~~

	~~Now, it's not THAT constant, as '''wind strength may change''', globally. But hey, in general it will produce a stead supply of energy.~~

	~~Sometimes, with good wind, it will even produce more than twice the power of a [[Solar Collector]]! ALL DAY AND NIGHT, HAYO!~~
