Early Americans only had a few sources of energy, water, animal, human, fire, and wind. In our Axis STEM history class, we need to create a machine that does a task an early American would need to do using one of the energies they had available. Our group has to create a lumber mill that uses wind power.
We were thinking of connecting a windmill to a sprocket and chain, with the second sprocket being a rotational saw. The wind would make both the first sprocket and the second sprocket move, powering the saw.
