Origin[]
Simon Stevin was a Flemish mathematician and engineer, whose work included hydraulic engineering flood control, the invention of a land yacht, an accurate description of the decimal system for fractions and the construction of fortification. This windmill was known to be on his family home until the 18th century, when Warehouse 11 discovered its abilities and promptly bought the windmill and shipped it to Russia.
Effects[]
When its blades are turning, it produces unlimited perpetual energy. However, the windmill needs to be connected to some external source that will use the power, otherwise the artifact will cease to function.
Trivia[]
- It was integrated into the Warehouse’s energy grid in the early 80s, pushed forward by MacPherson. The Warehouse’s energies became stabilized and available power increased, not malfunctioning like the original attempt.
- It was destroyed in the alternate timeline with the Warehouse during Walter Skyes activation of the House of Commons Masonry nuclear device. It was set on fire and subsequently collapsed after Sessue Hayakawa’s Pierce Arrow crashed into it.
- This artifact is not the same one as Miguel de Cervantes’ Windmill.
