Hypothetically, if i were to hook up an old timey flour windmill to a generator, how much power could i produce with its rotation?

    No, likely not hot enough to make steam to spin a different windmill/turbine to make electricity.

    This would be very inefficient due to doing two energy conversions instead of just one.

      Exactly.

      I mistakenly skipped all of the words that would have helped like “Get get ahead of the obviously stupid question…” Adding that now.
