Most modern "windmills" are called wind turbines (or wind generators).
- Purpose: today they usually convert wind into electricity (rather than grinding grain).
- Forms: large horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) are most common; there are also vertical-axis designs (VAWT).
- Installations: groups of turbines are called wind farms (onshore or offshore).
If you meant modern machines for pumping water, those are often called windpumps. Would you like details on how wind turbines work or the differences between HAWT and VAWT?
