 Wind powered water pump on Oak Park Farm, Shedd, Oregon. This pump is used to drain excess water from farm land to improve agricultural production. It operates a 28 inch diameter piston pump with a 16 inch stroke. It pumps 360 gallons per minute on an average windy day. This is the first large wind-powered agricultural pump in the U.S. and is a good example of modern technology being applied to an old, well-proven technology. |
A windpump is a windmill used for pumping water, either as a source of fresh water from wells, or for draining low-lying areas of land. Once a common fixture on farms, windpumps are still used today where electric power is not available or too expensive.
