To design and fabricated a water pumping windmill which can be built using low fabrication technology in lesser time, cost and more reliable than present wind pumps available in market. The design that has been made by us uses a single stage savonius rotor. The pump is a positive displacement type reciprocating pump.The system has been designed for specific purpose of pumping water from canals to the storage tanks for agricultural farming at low wind speeds starting from 4m/s to 8m/s.
The idea behind selecting a vertical axis wind turbine(VAWT) of savonius type ,is its property of being simpler in construction and cheaper to build and maintain than horizontal axis wind turbines(HAWT). Savonius rotor has a property of starting at low speeds and producing high torque for the same. The main advantages of VAWT are that it can produce output as work irrespective of direction of wind and as it employs a vertical shaft the gearing arrangement can be placed close to the ground.
