A good few years ago, I took the kids to wales for a holiday (wait for it  ). We went to this place which was all about green, organic etc.
They had a wind pump which was so effective it could lift a couple of people sitting on a seat attached to the pump arm. Looked a bit like those
things with lots of wind vanes scattered across the USA. Can't remember the name of the place but I'll try and find it.
No need to worry about batteries/charging etc.
Just a thought....

It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

A squirrel cage fan type rotor is less dependent on wind direction.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Hi
Isn't a squirrel cage type a non self starter?

Without any guidance the Kids have evaluated thier options after dsicussing the needs of the garden with its manager. THEY have decided that they will
work on a wind generator that powers a growth lamp during the winter months and a pump during the summer.
So I am just keeping ahead of them so that when the ask for parts I can provide them.
