The torsion produced by the tangling of blades(a rotor component) and stator vanes(a stationary component) is typically shortlived with both of these parts fracturing early in the event, thus significantly reducing the seizure torque to a slightly depressed windmill condition-albeit after landing the rotor may not be able to be turned by hand(and thus reported seized). 1, record 1, English, - seizure%20torque

A windmill is an airscrew which is used to drain energy from the surrounding air and convert it into a useful force. The aerodynamic reaction of the air on the rotating blades gives a drag force tending to check the relative axial motion and a torque which tends to increase the rotation of the windmill. 1, record 4, English, - drag%20force
