A four-blade mock turbine windmill, belonging to Friederich Ernstmeyer, seen near Grand Island, Nebraska in 1898, used to pump water for livestock.

Because the project used mostly found and unused parts, its total cost was 32 cents, which was the price of a long plank used for the rotor blades. (Photo by U.S. National Archives)
