None of which shows the actual giant millstone in action. What a let down.

Aged 8 I painted that mill on a school trip. Later in life became a member, proud to say I then married at the museum .. a national treasure. Can't attend the museum without buying a biscuit or two from the mill!

[@soapbox187]

Thats an amazing story! Hope you saved that painting.

[@solochristo65]

I looked this up because I was watching an episode of Escape to the Country with my 90+ year old parents and in that episode they showed a man that spent 14 years refurbishing a 17th century windmill and they also use it for making flour. This was great

That place its beautiful. I'd love to have a restaurant there

[@Itdontmatter69]

Ha my exact thought

[@NutMunchy]

My school went on a Field trio in 4th grade and we got to make flour

[@lunarcorpse]

My class went to a cheese factory, fresh cheese is so delicious. After the cheese factory we went to a chocolate factory. I was only in second grade then, but I don't remember everything that happened. All I remember is the taste of the cheese.

Greetings from a guide on a Dutch traditionali grain windmill called De Hoop (hope) in the western town of ‘t Zand

[@Exoclypse]

Since you have to pump the water back into the pond, you might as well save a lot of energy and use an electric motor. I know they want to show how it worked back then so I hope they only make it work during visits.

[@rocketmik65]

@dev null I mean, it's not only a watermill but a museum as well, showing how it was done in ye olde days, wouldn't be very educational if they just did it with a motor.

[@Rohandutt]

then it wOuld end the motive of it which is showing the visitors how it works without electricity

[@darrenchan7652]

Holy crap I didn’t know this was an insider video until I noticed the insider logo.... They have gotten so much better with their content....

[@ShinKyuubi]

Very near where I live there is an old mill..the river dried up years upon years before I was born and the mill is in disrepair..I haven't been by it in years..the road it was on used to be dirt and gravel but I think they paved it in the years since I was a kid so the mill may be gone..there are a few other mills in my state but I don't know if any make flour or cornmeal..if they did I'd buy some from local markets but they keep that stuff very close to the mill if not outright in it as a specialty item..I got a local outdoor market..might have to see if there is any stone ground flour there..that would make some dang good homemade bread..

[@joeydr1497]

I’ve been here there building a bakery next to it so they can make bread and cookies for tourists

[@aleatorioemais5168]

[@thechitchanman]

Yeah, you grind that flour! Grind it good!!

[@thecomputer1337]

Thank you, very cool.

[@karv9445]

If you're pumping water from the lower to the upper reservoir arent you losing energy? It would be more efficient to use the energy put into pumping to turn the wheel instead. The only benefit would be the fact that the upper reservoir serves as a battery to keep the mill running if the pump is shut off. I'm assuming the original site of the mill was along a river and the system currently in place for the sluice gates was with new materials made to look period appropriate.

[@beatar.1130]

Undershot water wheel is indeed less efficient than overshot one (when water pours down from upper reservoir) but it's just the oldest version of the vertical water wheel sooo I assume people used it until they invented better wheel

[@Ottoschmitz-hi]

It's history not an energy efficiency competition you dolt

[@q6k]

now this is epic.

[@snotnosewilly99]

Same way the Romans made flour 2,000 years ago with stone mills powered by water.

[@Colddirector]

That's how the Guild of Millers did it, true Roman bread for true Romans.

I’m sorry was there any footage of the actual mill stone which all that machinery is used to power? I only saw footage of the hand mill stone. We saw flour coming out the full size one why no detailing the scale of the actual millstone. Seems like a gaping omission.

[@sfbluestar]

do the two pieces of grindstones touch each other? If no, how is the top piece suspended? If yes, wouldn't there be a lot of sand in the flour? And how do the grains get forced between the grindstones?

[@dhruvatri8894]

Yes, the two pieces touch each other. There is no sand in flour because grindstones are made out of very hard rock.

[@marcusaurelius652]

The do not touch each other. Educate yourself

[@Ignisan_66]

So it's basically an electric mill with extra steps since all of the energy for grinding comes from electric water pumps which circulate the water between the two ponds. This is not how it was done for "generations" cause old watermills used natural flow of a river to power them.

[@misterfunnybones]

The issue is the grain & the time between milling and consumption. Industrialized food production creates mutant seeds, dead soil, & chemically induced production. At the very least we need to return to local milling to grind the whole grain without removing all the constituent parts & reduce the time between milling & consumption to avoid spoiling the milled product. Mass produced bread is now a baked extruded foam product.

[@nonovaey3652]

This is the best flour.

[@abeonthehill166]

But can you solve this in less than ten minutes .....? A miller ground out 336 pound of wheat into flour . Enough to fill 128 bags ; some were 2 (Ib) and others were 7 (Ib) bags of Flour. How many 2 (Ib) bags and 7 (Ib) bags of Flour were filled ? If a 2 (Ib) bag is sold for £2 each and a 7 (Ib) is £6 each; how much were all 128 bags sold for ? If only 25% of the total selling price of the Flour was profit ( after expenses ), how much profit did the Miller have for the 336 (Ib) of Flour sold that day ? Regards.......Abe

[@Anzar_riffi]

To fill up 128 bags with 336 lb flour. You’ll need 112 bags of 2 lb. And 16 bags of 7 lb. 112 bags of 2 lb Profit: 112 bags • £2= £224 total 224•0,25= £ 56,- profit 16 bags 7 lb Profit: 16 bags • £6 = £96,- total 96•0,25= £ 24,- profit So the total profit would be 56+24= £80,-

[@abeonthehill166]

Tom can complete a job in 60 minutes; Jerry can do the same job in 50 minutes and Bob can do the same job in 40 minutes ! How long will it take Tom and Bob to do the job working together ? How long will the job take if all three work together ? Can you solve in Ten minutes ……?

Surprisingly not. The flour is very fine actually. This natural milling process retains more nutrients than modern flour making process.

Doesn’t it take more energy to pump all that water than it takes to make the floor in the first place?

[@Cyberphunkisms]

I thought this was cool.. until the part about constantly pumping water to maintain an artificial river to accommodate the mill... that was ridiculous considering, it was an energy-saving device. But I guess this is the long history about how everything led up to 2020.

[@canethings91]

[@notjalyn2162]

@dev null ahh that makes sense, thank you :)

[@JustYourAverageGirl2002]

Didn't they also use mules and what not back in the day to grind flour?

[@polishedmeat6399]

yep but this was more efficient. no need to feed mules and care about them

[@aridroutsas3786]

All I learnt was that wheel spins and then flour. No further information passed that.

Pump the water up and then let the water flow back to turn the mill. That can't be energy efficient.

[@nancysmith5587]

[@WhyDoThat]

This seems pointless. If you are pumping the water back up to make the wheel turn then you might as well just having it powered by electricity.. Energy can be changed into another form but additional energy isn't going to be created. First Law of Thermodynamics If anything it will take more energy to spin the wheel and the evaporation loss from water pumped up.
