How to build a small water pumping windmill for a school project ?

I need to build a small water pumping windmill for a school project and I want to know how I would be able to do it . Please help

i want to replace my electric water pump for a windmill where can i buy these in the united states?

where can i find a water pumping windmill that will run household water?

will the ones you use for pond ariation work for wells?

Windmill water pumps?

Many farms use windmills to pump water into troughs for cows.

How do the pumps work? Is it a screw or piston mechanism?

How to build a home made windmill for pumping water?

I really wanna know how to make one of these. If anyone knows how to or knows where I can buy a kit please let me know. Thank you!

How to design a screw pump?

I am working on the redesign of a windmill water pump, trying a different design that doesn’t stress the structure so much.

For that I intend to use a screw pump instead of a piston pump, but the problem is that none of the main manufacturers makes a pump like the one I need. So I need to design one myself. However, I am not sure of how to design a screw pump.

Can you help me?
The Archimedes screw isn’t suitable in this case as the water is 30 metres deep. I need a modern screw pump.

Check this example:

However, I need a design that sucks the water from one end of the screw (the bottom of the well) and pump it to the other (up to the surface)

I would like to find info. on converting a water pumping windmill into an elec. wind generator?

why not try?

Can an automotive water pump be used to supply power in reverse?

I’m wondering an automotive water pump can run in reverse if supplied with pressurized water. If it can, then I could hook up an alternator to its pulley and theoretically get power from it. I’m researching alternative energy and am brainstorming different options to pump water into a storage tank (by windmill most likely), then to take the power from it… be it a water wheel, water pump, whatever. If you know if the pump works in reverse, please let me know. Sorry, not interested in guesses! Thanks!
There are some really good answers here, but i need to be a little more specific. I’m going to use this to power a cabin w/ no hookup nearby. I would like to use a large tank or pond (which i’d have to dig) on the top of the hill as a “battery” if you will, to take power off when needed. I could use wind power to take water from the pond below y to supply the tank or pond above. Wind power directly is great but we can go long periods w/out it here and there is no energy lost by having the water stored above. No more than a few amps a week would be used. The alternator would be powerd by the water pump which would be pressurized from the water above.. if that is indeed possible. If not.. then a water wheel similar would be used. It just seems like a water pump would be more efficient as there isn’t any spillage and whatnot.

I’m thinking that water storage would be much cheaper in the long run than the cost of numerous batteries and the replacement of them every 3 years.

Get plans for a windmill to charge batteries or run small outside lights?

Looking for a place to get plans for a windmill that i could run outdoor light with or charge batteries to run the lights. I have found plans for windmill water pumps but not for electric power.
