DIY Water Pumping Wind Mill Blade Assembly

In this video I provide an overview of the blade assembly that powers the home made water pumping windmill that I constructed to move my rain water from low to high.

What length are the blades and base ?

[@thervhomesteadTexas]

It has been many years since it built this, I think the blades were 18 inches. here is the playlist for all of the videos shot...kzbin.info/aero/PL6SL6H-s4sBdGgbqHYQlcI-ps7mKAumbC I was really bad with the camera as this was early on in my KZbin journey. I hope this all helps!

How thick were the blades and how did you go about putting the curve down the middle of the blade? By the way. This looks like a great design and looks more durable than many other people I have seen trying to build their own windmills.

It was very durable! I had it pumping water for over 10 years before I sold it. (we were planning on RVing full time) The blades were from real estate sign riders that were 24 gauge steel. I used a 3 ft piece of 4" PVC to shape the curve. here are all of the videos about this project....kzbin.infosearch?query=windmill Thanks for watching!

how so? I spent a total of $5 for this blade assemble, it pumped water non-stop for 12 years then I sold it and as far as I know it is still spinning today, not bad for $5
