The document discusses the windmills of Campos on the island of Mallorca. While wind, animal, and waterwheel mills can be found in many locations on the islands, they have lost their initial functions though still retain heritage value. Due to scarce rainfall, mills on Mallorca use subterranean or torrent water that millers built systems to access and store. Large wheels transformed running water into energy to power the mills. The wind moves the wheel which turns the connecting rod and produces an up and down vertical movement to power water pumps. The speed is controlled to below 30 spins per minute for efficient water pumping through the use of scissors or removing an arm.

Can you hear what I'm going to say from what you see?
This is an example for my class of the slides for a video lecture called a PowerTalk like a TEDtalk crossed with a Lessig method talk.

Explains how energy from tides is produce and mechanically obtained. A practical application of Hydraulic Machines. After reading this you will be able to understand the tidal energy, waves, and ways we use to obtain energy or generate electricity practically.
CAMISSA, (the ancient Khoi name for Cape Town - meaning the place of sweet waters) is a spatial framework proposa.
CAMISSA is a development framework which through the use of water, focuses on the reinstatement of the ecological link that reunites the mountain and the ocean, into a public landscape, as a sustainable solution for Cape Town's CBD. It is a means by which to re-structure the City of Cape Town in accordance with environmental principles. Aimed at a sustainable approach to water use, planning, design and management that is based on the intrinsic value of water as a significant public resource that is not separate from the value of land and landscape. The vision is one of a genuinely progressive dual water management strategy that offers opportunities for new models to transform the future well-being of the city into an equal society for all people; and allows for public integration and education through the recreational use of the system.
Subsequently, RECLAIM CAMISSA a non-profit trust / Public Benefit Organisation was constituted and registered in order to support implementation of the 10 year programme.
A detailed explanation of the scheme of Tidal power production is given.Two live examples along with types of schemes,scenario in the world are elucidated.

2. THE WINDMILLS OF CAMPOS Wind, animal traction an waterwheel mills can be dind in many lozations of the islands. Actually, they have lost their initial function even thouhg they have an important heritage value as evidence of the economical, social and cultural past of Mallorca.
3. THE WINDMILLS OF CAMPOS In Mallorca the Scarce rainfalls explain that on the island we do not have rivers. That is the reason why mills use subterranean or torrent water. In order to use this water, millers have build a system to take and keep the running water. A big wheel transforms running water into energy to move the mill.
6. THE WINDMILLS OF CAMPOS The wind moves the wheel wich at the same time moves the connecting-rod. A verticcal moviment is produced –upwards and downwards- and this movement sets a water pump in the motion.
9. THE WINDMILLS OF CAMPOS Is not always nwdessary to use the whole wind power. If the arms wheel spin faster than 30 times per minute, the water could not work properly. In order to control the speed one could use the so called scissors or to take an arm away.
