Windmill Wells

In drawing water from a well, the ground water aquifer water will, at least, be filtered by the sand and gravel enroute to the well bottom. Most wells today require an electric pump for a six inch well pipe. Large diameter concrete pipe sections which could be used to line such a well would be useful to either store for later or to make such a well now in anticipation of future use. One needs at least a 3000 watt windmill to pump water. This is the minimum size to run water pumping. The Whisper 3000 put out by World Power Technologies, Inc. and sold by

is about $4,000 not including an energy retention system (batteries). You need a lot of open space for this kind of a rig.
