What do sails eat?
Sails eat wind,
A ship developed in the 1400s with triangular sails for tracking into the wind and square sails to for running before the wind?
A caravael
What Sails harness the power of the?
Wind.
How do the sails on the windmills turn?
The sails on windmills turn when they are hit by the wind. The force of the wind causes the sails to rotate, which in turn drives the machinery inside the windmill to generate power or perform mechanical work. The design of the sails is crucial for capturing the wind efficiently and converting it into rotational motion.
In irons is when the boat is headed directly into the wind and sails are empty of wind what is the term when the wind is directly behind you and sails are empty?

When the wind doubles does the pressure in the sails increase 8 times?
No, the pressure in the sails does not increase by 8 times when the wind doubles. The pressure in the sails is directly proportional to the square of the wind speed increase. So, if the wind speed doubles, the pressure in the sails will increase four times, not eight times.
