Harnessing kinetic energy: The windmill converts wind's force into mechanical rotation, driving everything from 9th-century Persian grain mills to modern gigawatt-scale wind turbines.

The windmill is an ancient, proven technology that converts the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical or electrical power. Historically, the device (first referenced in 9th-century Persia and 12th-century Europe) was a prime mover, essential for tasks like grinding grain or water pumping for land drainage (e.g., in the Netherlands). Today, the modern iteration is the wind turbine: a sophisticated system where blades spin a rotor and shaft, which then drives an electrical generator. This technology is a cornerstone of renewable energy, with hundreds of thousands of large turbines generating over 650 gigawatts (GW) of power globally as of 2020, significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Deploy and run LLM workflows at scale with Windmill](https://lausanne.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_eASAs1HsICw)

We will showcase how to leverage Windmill, an open-source developer platform and workflow engine, to deploy and run LLM workflows at scale. Specifically, we will demonstrate a workflow that respond to Swiss legal questions using a multi-agent system and RAG.
