I could post at least once a day with updates from the FB site but I did think this one today was interesting: shuttering concrete for a new round barn :

Really love the bright red 1 and the other red 1 with a windmill. Speaking of which is there a specific name for those windmills of old with the multispoke wheel?

Aeromotor seem to be the most popular having been made for over 100 years.

What would a rough price be for 1 of the aeromotor windmills around 3-6kw

 

[Cassia]

Well, it’s more of a water pump setup I believe or even just for aesthetic purposes

They look good if ye could get 1 for electric production

They were made in Argentina? when production stopped in US. Now the name is back apparently.

Starts around $3,700 for the windmill only, no tower. They're made in different diameters, which will support different stroke pumps at different pump bore diameters based on water depth. Never heard of a KW comparison, it would be quite low rated in KW, they're designed to start pumping at low wind speeds, and to turn slow for the purpose of a cylinder pump.

So there is none with a generator then? Quite fancy the look of them as i like the american look. Is there any others that any1 knows of that look like that mabe a larger version that is for electric?

No, never seen one hooked to electric, but I'd be shocked if they put out more than 500W, they're designed for torque, not efficiency. 1/2HP motor on a pump jack will replace them typically.

Well i never knew they were a water pump till today, just thought they were a normal electric windmill so some knowledge gained

Nice things mind u
