A GREAT CONCEPT..

Incredible design!!! Going to check out your website now.

Good thing for places with no electricity in 3rd world nations

I've been studying your mill for a quite a while and I calculate that, even as a simple deep well lift pump, and quite apart from being a fraction of the cost to build, it's enormously more efficient than a rotary system.
I'm sure a range of two or three well built standard sizes in various pumping and generating guises (ie. all cross standardized parts.) would sell like hot cakes! Good luck with it.

How could you possibly do that calculation given you don't have data on the wing, torque data for different parts of the stroke, etc?

As always, this sort of comparative analysis has to be considered subjective as much depends on one's initial viewpoint as well as the breadth and depth of focus. However, using simple algebraic comparative formulae ( and very basic known physics ) it is not entirely impossible to come up with fairly (sic) definitive relationships as to performance and efficiency. Or as the man said "One does not need to be in the bucket to know ......".

about $10,000 vs $5000

Actually I compare a 16' wing with a 16' Aermotor. The ultimate cost comparison is pumped power in a given wind vs cost.
My unit witha 16' wing costs less than a 16' multiblade and pumps more in lighter winds.

sorry, I meant 4.8 meters. That's 16feet, converting too much between thinking and saying I make mistakes.
I'm not sure Aeromotor is the right refference, there are other multiblades too. An rough estimate of Wing'dmill price would be more usefull, a pair of power curves doesnt reveal prices on any axis.

hi
regarding the pumped watts chart at 2:55 are you sure you-re comparing apples to apples? Your 48 feet wing plus its arm swinging should count 2-3 times the swept area of a 48 ft diameter rotor.
Otherwise I found it so intriguing that I started to build myself a 2meter wing.. just to see if I can make it work.
