The windmill project!

This is my first ever Lego windmill, I would say this is my best creation to date and most interesting. My goal was to make a mechanicaly functional windmill, which did in fact happen, yay! I used gears inside to run from the windmill fan thingy down to the black knob located below the side window. The knob spins when the fan does, therefore my windmill could run an appliance such as a winch if connected properly. Also, I had on this at one point a power house. But, it didn't look that great so I removed it. But, in the power house I made a gear shift, that way the windmill could power 2 things. I had a table saw and I couldn't think what else to add before I wrecked it.
I wouldn't say this windmill is a complete success though, unlike my other creations, this does't have much for an interior=( But, if I ever make another windmill, I thought up a way to make the different floors easily accessible, this would allow me to complete the interior in a detailed and interesting fashion!
Until next time, I plan to work on a water powered sawmill type thingy! Adios!
