Abstract
A water pumping windmill which can be built largely with materials and skills available in rural areas has been designed and fabricated. The windmill uses a Savonius rotor and incorporates a novel sail-type construction. The pump is of a positive displacement type using the casing of a pneumatic tyre for the pumping chamber. Two prototypes have been constructed and these have indicated a reasonable performance and reliability.
