TY - Type of reference TI - The birth of wind turbines: a question of definition(s) AU - Philippe Bruyerre AB - This article investigates the historical accounts of the births of different wind turbines: the Dutch polder windmill (17th century), the American wind pump (19th century) and the Danish wind turbine (20th century). These multiple births and rebirths refer to the “definition” of the technical object, in both senses of the word “definition”: the enunciation of what a thing is and its degree of spatial and temporal finesse (as in "high definition" in the domain of images).
