As well, you can create these nifty '''daylight-independent''' ''Windmills'' for an all-over-the-day constant energy supply.[[file:picture_na.png|right|link=|Picture not available]]

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 then 2 times the power of a [[Solar Panel]]s! ALL OVER THE DAY, HAYO!

- A windmill produces approximately 360 EU per minecraft day multiplied by it's height in the world (on average).
This number varies '''greatly''' it has been observed to be anywhere from 109 to 564.
 
- 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 underneth it and down atleast two blocks before turning.
 
 
- For each block of obstrution, 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 128), with no obstructions (appart from the 2 cable blocks under the windmill) will produce roughly 45360 EU (360 * 126) a day or 1.89 EU/s overall.
 
A windmill that was placed near bedrock (layer 10) with no obstructions (not including the cable again) produced a whooping 1350 EU a day (0.056 EU/s overall) for being so ridiculously low in height.
