History
De Edensermolen was built in 1847 to drain the Breeuwsma Polder.{{cite web|url=http://www.molendatabase.nl/nederland/molen.php?nummer=64 |title=Iens (Edens), Friesland |publisher=Molendatabase |language=nl |access-date=9 April 2010}} It was restored in 1958. A new pair of sails were required to replace those damaged in a storm. A secondhand pair were fitted, bringing the cost of the restoration down from an anticipated ƒ765 to ƒ485. The mill was sold to Stichting De Fryske Mole ({{langx|en|Frisian Mills Foundation}}) on 13 October 1977.{{cite book | last =Stichting De Fryske Mole | year = 1995| title = Friese Molens| pages = 198, 259| publisher = Friese Pers Boekerij bv| location = Leeuwarden |language=nl |isbn= 90-330-1522-6}} In 1995, it was restored to full working order.{{cite web|url=http://www.molens.nl/site/dbase/molen.php?pagina=geschiedenis&molenid=815&toonoverzicht=1 |title=Geschiedenis |publisher=De Hollandsche Molen |language=nl |access-date=9 April 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120603122036/http://www.molens.nl/site/dbase/molen.php?pagina=geschiedenis&molenid=815&toonoverzicht=1 |archive-date=3 June 2012 }} In 2006, the mill was officially designated by Wetterskap Fryslân as being held in reserve for use in times of emergency.
Description
{{For|an explanation of the various items of machinery|Mill machinery}}
De Edensermolen is what the Dutch describe as an grondzeiler. It is a two-storey smock mill on a single-storey base. There is no stage, the sails reaching almost to the ground. The mill is winded by tailpole and winch. The smock is covered in horizontal boards, while those on the cap are vertical. The sails are Common sails. They have a span of {{convert|10.00|m|ftin}}. The sails are carried on a wooden windshaft. The windshaft also carries the brake wheel which has 32 cogs. This drives the wallower (17 cogs) at the top of the upright shaft. At the bottom of the upright shaft, the crown wheel, which has 26 cogs drives a gearwheel with 25 cogs on the axle of the Archimedes' screw. The axle of the Archimedes' screw is {{convert|250|mm|ftin|0}} diameter. The screw is {{convert|750|mm|ftin}} diameter and {{convert|3.80|m|ftin}} long. It is inclined at 24°. Each revolution of the screw lifts {{convert|114|L|impgal}} of water.
