This is a easy and cheap way to build a wind mill water pump out of scrap material. This video can give a good first step into making a much larger system.
Front hub off a 4 wheel drive vehicle has nice bearings and would b really strong, even has mounting bolts and a shaft running through the centre. I was thinking of building one but I wouldn't bother with a swivel, wind comes from west 95 % of the time 5% is from the east, which will still work for a dugout aerator
Not bad - of course, you know that if you use PVC as a bushing, when you run steel shafts through something, you really reduce that friction drag. Thought that might help you.
This is pretty cool. you've definatly earned yourself a subscriber. Have you considered using a helix style wind turbine so you can catch wind from any direction. might be more efficent
I like your video, how much harder would it be to make a larger version for watering livestock? The water table is very close to the surface where I live. I want to use wind to bring water up to the surface and pipe it to a 500 gallon stock tank and to a small chicken house with a self watering system in it.
with all that juniper you could cut lumber lengthwise like1 x 6 and then soak in tub then after wet clamp to twist, leaving the rough for propellers. this be pretty much how dutch make windmill propellers or indians make canoes. Be more asthetic for fish pond :)
Could this work for a deep well say 280 or more feet deep? I priced the deep well pumps and Dang they were EXPENSIVE OUCH! Looking for an alternative route:) You are a very clever fella.
Hi, Thank you very much for your video. It has been extremely helpful towards my dissertation which is based on a wind pump. Just wanted to ask how much volumetric flow rate are you able to achieve with your pump? (say at wind speeds of about 6mph). Thanks a lot again :D
Mr Teslonian you are a very blessed person thanks a lot for sharing this beautiful idea! you will shine in all the ventures.
this is very neat . thanks for sharing. simple but effective. I like the idea of magnets for lighting . hopefully you can do a video on that as well.
Excellent! Even though its a rough design you've got it. Thanks for sharing.
Primitive yet effective...
Thank you for this. Did you do part 2?
I really appreciate the step-by-step.
Mine too...I like your ideas...I saved the ball socked thingy from a rack & pinnon tie rod for a similar purpose...would last million cycles..
How long did it last? Do you have do fix the pump often? Considering making one. Thanks!

That is so awesome!!! I love the mcGyvering my man! I'm going to build one
wow, thank you for sharing this... great project!
Wow that is... I give you props.

VEry Enjoyable Video. TY MR T. HAve a great Day ;-)) Cheers

how is it going? i like your video it gave me a lot of ideas. do you have a video or a picture when this is instaled in your pond.
nice job cheers...rough is ok for first shot..congrats..
you have to use an odd number of blade to reduce vibration.
never knew that, thanks for the info!

Nice work.,Liked
A piece of bicycle tube might have some use as a seal also.
You should use a longer center axis to balance the weight this reduces the stress and friction largely causing you to get a lot more efficient power.
Could you clarify what part is the"center axis"? Thanks!
Is it working, can u show the water pumping
ha iwas just thinking the same thing! i scrapped a go cart with tier rod ends for this purpose!
good job

How much volume of water do U estimate this windmill will displace?
Always interesting you rocks!

i have to stay somthing useful from a bunch a of repurposed stuff i like it. 5/5 stars

Awesome
awesome mind!!lol
Good
Well dont Mr. T its guys like you that are welcome at my compound bring rice and ammo wink wink
👍👍👍👍👍
good
Thanks
Looks Mcgyvered
Pandora requests the fire!!!))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
