What is Wind Water Pump?
A wind pump, also known as a windmill, is a device that pumps water from various water sources, including wells, through the power of wind. The pumped water is typically used to provide clean drinking water, irrigate agricultural fields, or hydrate and feed animals. Wind pumps are also used to alleviate excess water in submerged areas and to produce salt from seawater. They can be found in rural, arid, and semi-arid regions, and are visible in certain areas of Argentina, South Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
The origin of wind pumps dates back to the late 19th century and they were a significant part of the economic development in many remote areas of the United States. Advances in technology continue to be made in this field.
Advantages
Wind energy is the kinetic energy of moving air. When an air mass becomes warmer than its surrounding environment, it rises upwards in the atmosphere, creating a void that is filled by a colder air mass of the same volume. This displacement of air masses is what we refer to as wind. Wind energy, on the other hand, is the kinetic energy possessed by the air flow that constitutes the wind. The source of wind energy is the sun. Only about 1-2% of solar energy is converted into wind energy.
- It helps reduce dependency on external sources of energy.
- It is a clean source of energy and has minimal to no environmental impact.
- It has no fuel consumption and does not pollute the air.
- Fossil fuel power plants do not show the pollution caused during electricity generation.
