Please don't ask for drawings, I don't have them anymore!

People used better technology in the 18th century :)

[52peters]

@PHOTOIK yes but it was designed to use in the porest regions of africa where they don't have special tools to build this, where the people are farmers with not much more knowledge as in 18th century and where sandy winds occur. It's indeed back to basics.

It will not overspeed because of the vane (not shown). The rotor and frame are free to rotate around the pole that is connected to the leftside of the frame. The vane on a long pole will produce the force to keep it in the wind, but when the wind gets too strong the vane will lift up, and the force of the rotor will be bigger than the vane's reaction force so it will automatically turn out of the wind in case of to much windspeed!

i would suggest that you move the parts below the blades so they don't block air ...

and three blades is the most efficient blade configuration..

also it may be beneficial if you can detach the pump and add a generator when you don't need water running... if they decide they need power at a latter point in time

Very cool

Great Video, Most people could build this with simple tools, I think I will build one just for fun, thanks for sharing.

52 peters, you should give lectures, everyone seems to want your formulas, recipes, strategy,you are in demand.! Look at all the responses! Did ya get a patent?

[PHOTOIK]

ok
