the tower and prop up but building a pump seems to be a headache!
Ive found a great book though on low cost wind power machines highly recoment
full instructions for various machines and great hand drawn

Hello Kim.
I live in the Netherlands and as you perhaps know, our country is below
sealevel. In the past we won land from the North Sea.
At ECN in Petten (Energie Centrum Nederland) they can surely provide you
with information, or they at least know where you can get it.
Succes.
Met vriendelijke
Sorry, I forgot :
You can find ECN on the internet.
Probably it is www.ECN.nl

Kim, There are still old wind powered water pump on old farms in the
midwest. I think my brother just sold a good one this year. They are
entirely different than wind generators because they have to develop
power from a dead stop. Are you looking to buy or just info.?

While searching the internet another term
may also be appropriate, wind pump or rope pump.
In Peru, three different types of wind pump systems,
Multi-blade windmill, Cretan type windmill and
Vertical axis sailwing windmill are introduced.

I am looking for information on how they are made, not a place to buy
one. I have looked at buying one before, but the prices are out of this
world. Since this is low tech, I see no reason to spend $3000 on a
pump. I am planning on using the pump on my aquaculture system, as well as

Hello Kim,
Please don't make the mistake of thinking that just because of something
belonging to history means that it was not technical in
nature. Quite the contrary when you look at many past achievements. The basic
principles of windmills are still the same today as in
say early American

I am aware of how technically advanced our ancestors were. One only need
look at the pyramids to be reminded of such feats. However, the use of
wind driven water systems are wide spread in history and all over the
globe. I expect it to be technical, but not beyond the home bogders ability.
We have access to a full metal working shop, with quality welding
equipment. Many thanks for the posts, this is the kind of stuff I was
looking for. Next time, I will put 'low cost' in my search and find things
myself.
Bright Blessings,

Your welcome Kim and hopefully
the costs are manageable sense
I've not seen the VITA publications
though others on the web links
probably have.

Hello Kim
Thanks to the list member Kirk McLoren I found a very interesting link to
an e-book on wind energy, it was inside the message he posted the 21th of
septembrer 2004. I pasted the message if you do not find it searching the
archives.
There you might find what you are looking for.
Best
Thank you and yes, I did download that book when Kirk listed it. It is
very good about generating power from wind, but I don't want to create
power. I want a pre-electric wind powered water pump. Mankind has been
using them for thousands of years, so they should be reasonably easy to
make
Kim,
What do you have in mind, the common everyday windmill or something
else? In the event it's the standard windmill I'm surprised you didn't
find anything on them. I would think a trip to
