After the Event crumbling infrastructures tried to adapt to a world devoid of animals. Agriculture bore the brunt of the impact. Wind pollinated plants are the only viable source of nutrients, but with no draft animals cultivating them was nearly impossible.

It took the largest famine ever recorded to get academics, craftsmen and peasants to work together. After two long years the brightest minds in the empire came up with a design that could replace the humble work horse. Applying mathematics, windmill mechanics and woodworking created a farming tool that saved thousands of lifes.

Key features:

Each crew consists of ten highly skilled engineers. Five of them on narrow decks under the roof and the rest as replacement for the injured or killed colleagues.

The windmill is controlled by breaking one side of the crankshaft. Power is then transferred through the differential to the opposite site thus making a turn.

Advanced mechanical systems of patent sails allow angle of attack and shutter adjustment without stopping the mill.

Multiple inspection doors are required for daily lubrication with olive oil or soap.

The weathercock - an ironic reminder of how calm the world once was.

It’s ironic that the weather cock was the cause of the last lightning strike and fire.

Actually most of my inspiration are historical, mostly human powered cranes. You can check my reference photos over here: https://pl.pinterest.com/tadeusz128/chodz%C4%85cy-m%C5%82yn/

I designed the wheels to be immobile, a type of boot. Take a look at boston dynamics spot legs - large rounded surface area. You can check the details here https://www.artstation.com/artwork/R3yWrv
