Pumps thanks to ... wind power

The sun and wind are unfavorable in the Central, but a resident of Tuy Hoa City, Phu Yen Province, has turning that disadvantage into useful, when making the water pump only works by wind.

The idea of ​​exploiting the power of wind was in Mr. Pham Ma Nhi from the past three years.

According to his design drawing, a water pipe is installed from the raceways to the device. When it is windy, the fan rotates, water from the bottom of the raceway will be pumped up. 1 meter long rotor turned the wind into force to pump water. Through testing, the pump can pump water from boreholes 7 meters deep.

Currently, Mr. Nhi is considering solutions to improve the quality of the water pump but still lower the price. Expected to be produced at a cost of about 2 million VND each. The product will be really helpful before requiring saving water at farms or windy year-round fields.
