The wind blowing at 8-10 km per hour at a height of 10 meter, rotates
the blades of the windmill, which in turn drives the gear box. The
gear box increases the speed of rotation and converts the rotary
motion into reciprocating motion. The reciprocating motion drives the
pump rod which is connected to an appropriate size of pump at the
other end, which pumps the water from the well/bore well.
The tail provided at the opposite end of the rotor, guides the rotor
to face perpendicular to the direction of the wind, at all times. The
windmill is provided with a manually operated locking mechanism, which
allows the windmill to be locked when it is not required to be used. |
