In a medieval mill, the mill grinds grains into powder. People grab the grains and tosses it in a box which leads to the grinders. Once the wind blows the sails spin and that also spins the gears which leads to the grinders to activate. Windmills are supposed to be built on a windy area where they can work. The sails are the four propeller looking objects sticking out of the base. Windmills could be built out of stone or wood. That was what windmills were used for.

A watermill is exactly like a windmill but it uses water as its source of power. The water pushes the wheel which leads into the shed and it rotates gears which lets the grinders activate. The shed was usually spacious for the grinders. The gears are usually the type that will smash the grains.
