Daniel Halladay (November 24, 1826 in Marlboro, Vermont – March 1, 1916 in Santa Ana, California)[1] was an American engineer, inventor and businessman, best known for his innovative self-regulating windmill, invented in Ellington, Connecticut in 1853.[2][3][4][5]
Because steam trains required frequent resupplies of clean water, Halliday's windmill and subsequent self-regulating designs became an essential part of early railroad infrastructure, particularly in the Great Plains.[6]
Versions of this windmill became an iconic part of the rural landscape in the United States,[7] Argentina, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa.
The historic Windmill at Ruprechtov based on Halladay's invention can be found in Ruprechtov in the Vyškov District of the Czech Republic.[8]
