NEED
for PARTNER/DEALER for the WING'DMILLS:
Unlike the
footpumps, I cannot sell Wing'dmills direct to individuals anywhere in the
world. Single wings are too difficult to ship and exchange, and the strength,
alignment and weight distribution are a bit critical for a kit for farmers. For
any windmill it is best to have a local dealer visit to check the multitude of site
factors. My windpumps have also not had a sufficiently long term test
for wearout and fatigue, as I have not had a secure long term test site.
What I need
is a partner of some kind to at least undertake a long term test with
instrumentation and daily monitoring. Ideally this would be in a good market
area for maximum demonstrator effect and lead to local production and
distribution without major shipping and servicing distances. The wings could be
exported from here where the best red cedar can be selected and resawn here and
shipped as loose cargo for dealer assembly completely or just needing the rear
trussing, trailing edge, and fabric applied. Or ready to use wings could be
shipped say 20 to a container, but labour costs here are high.
A good
market area would have light but steady winds close to the ground, (requiring
conventional windpumps of more than 14' diameter; but not high towers for clear
wind, only wind strength) and widespread pumping duties such as well or dam to
a higher pond or storage tank and thence to animals, drip or microsprinkler; or
direct to furrow or flood irrigation. If your area is suitable for electric
windgenerators, it is too windy for the best comparative advantage of the
Wing'dmills over the traditional multiblade.
The Flo'pump is the preferred first model to introduce because it is simpler
and cheaper and does not require the extra expense and complication of a well.
Its applications are aerating and pumping surface water for drainage,
irrigation, or large herds. Surface water without wind-blocking trees is common
in light rainfall rolling clay hills (Australian Dividing Range) and heavier
rainfall areas cleared for crops or vines. Then once its additional new
Pullpump technology is thoroughly established from the footpumps, the
Flutterwell would be a natural progression especially for arid sub-tropical
plains such as India or East Africa.
hope
you are interested and will answer my questions
about typical conditions in your area.
