This DIY how-to book covers everything you need to know to build a Cretan-style windpump, with every possible detail for the "spinner" and a bit less for the actual piston pump. Drawings contain excellent detail, photos are so-so but adequate. The author claims nearly twice the pumping capacity as the model he based his on, and he's done the tests to prove it. This is a low-lift device, but the spinner could drive another type of pump, as well as a flywheel for grinders, mill, washing machine, reciprocal saw, etc.

Who am I ?

Hi, I’m Erik Astrand and the man behind this site.

My story?
I am about to be 50 and all my life I have been interested in technical things. Not sure if the special interest for the wind, and how to use the wind, started when I as a 5 year old boy and got my first sail dinghy.

Anyway, wind power and to build my own wind generator was a dream for several years. I studied many websites and also bought many courses before I finally built my own windmill. This site is about that journey and you will also find some more general articles about wind power.

Enjoy! and check out the about me page to read more.
