    At one of Indiana's State Parks there is a Old Mill.   
   Visitors can purchase bags of ground up Corn (Meal) or Wheat (Flour), I can't   
   recall which grain they grind up at that Park..   
      
    I'd think it would take a set of Gears to increase the Speed the Mill Wheel   
    rotates at to turn a Generator so it would create 50 (60) Cycle/Second   
   A.C. Voltage, as a Mill Wheel doesn't rotate very fast, maybe 3 full turns   
   per Minute I'd guess.
