@@HumbleAcres You making videos I understand its hard work to make sure you have everything right or maybe it's easy for you. Bottom line it's the almighty dollar that beings you here. I see alot of comments that are belligerent, a lot of comments that are plain stupid and some that are useful. I'm employed to sell myself and I get some advice, some good, some well different but I dont take my customers good or bad advise and publicly maybe shame them or maybe ridicule them into thinking that what they said is stupid. I dont want to offend my customers good or bad. I'm not saying I'm offended, I'm thinking I'm laughing or maybe.... just dont care or fact is I bought a horse and I've won. Have a great day.

I remember years ago, a friend & I took down an 80 ft Ham radio tower, by hand, in sections! It was way narrower than that, we had to share one rung together, one foot on the others! We had two 2x4's longer than the section, with hooks to hook for on the cross bars on the section below, pully up to the top, unbolt a section pull it up, and somebody on the ground guide it down! We did it from the top down, then cut the legs off! And we had safety gear, hard hats, shoes, pole climbing gear! Grandpa has it right, man on one side two kids on the other! I'd pack as much grease on all them parts good before I put it back up!

The pipe of the well has a crossbar so that it does not move when the mill draws water, if you dig you will surely find it near the subway, at least that is how we place it here in Argentina. The grandfather, handsome for work!! Greetings.

@@HumbleAcres on ours there was a heavy duty wire that ran from the bottom of the gearbox to a 3x3 leverattached to 1 leg. It shut off by letting the tail loose so it wasn't keeping the fan blades facing into the wind. Let the lever loose causing the fan to steer the fan back into the wind. There must have been a spring up there somewhere causing the on off.

Jordan, perhaps you can find parts under the old barn. Under that floor was an old windmill, perhaps there are parts there that could be useful. I would find an old well and use it there to pump water.

How far did you have to move the windmill to get it to your place? Your dad and grandfather are still going strong, I hope I am half as able when I am their age. I am super excited to watch you get this fixed and standing tall once again. You should put it in a prominent place on your property, perhaps use it to display flags and flowers on the lower part of the tower. I would run electric to it for lighting and holiday decorations. So I hope you don't wait a long time before you get it done.

Cool project! Might be interesting to convert to power a generator. I wonder if the original 18 blade unit would harvest more energy from the wind than modern 3 or 6 blade designs of this size? Amazing that it withstood 100MPH++ winds without destructing.
@HumbleAcres
@HumbleAcres Жыл бұрын
The blades were locked at those speeds. But it is still amazing the tower held.
@kd5inm
@kd5inm Жыл бұрын
The 18 blade unit is made to spin at a slower speed and have more torque to drive the pump. Wind power turbines have longer thinner blades to spin faster. The larger win turbines have geared transmissions that spin the generator at even faster rpm than the blades. I don't know if the 18 blade unit would be as well suited for power generation.
