Two model windmills are described briefly. The first is a two-bladed rigidly mounted model with a weather vane for locking the blades in a neutral position in high winds. The second is a three-bladed model mounted on a flexible tower that bends in high winds. The three-bladed model is equipped with a flywheel. Publicity for the windmills is also described briefly.
