Windmills can be divided in many respects. The basic division is the types of windmills by their design. The secondary division is the division by destination because the same construction windmills were driven by different devices, the grain windmills were driving the mill wheels, the dewaters were driving the bucket mechanisms. We distinguish the following types of windmills: koźlak, dutch, paltrak, sokólski windmill, bucket windmill.
